I did not see this posted here yet, and I'm uploading because its a really great easy project that is extremely useful. Below is the description verbatim from Thingiverse.</p><p>---------------------------------------------------------------</p><h3>Summary</h3><p>This is a great design that I've dialed in and got working very well. Looks great and is very functional. This stand allows multiple viewing angles and best of all has a quick grab/release mechanism that grabs and locks the phone in when you let go and releases when you pick up the phone.</p><p>This design currently works best for larger phones (iPhone 8 plus/XS Max size), but I am working on a universal version, just need to get my hands on the smaller devises to test and dial it in.</p><p>The entire design is printable other than a small extension spring that needs to be installed when putting the stand together.</p><p>5mm x 10mm extension springs work great and can be found in this kit for a great price:<br>Spring Kit - <a href="https://amzn.to/2K4XJ6b?tag=thingiverse09-20">https://amzn.to/2K4XJ6b</a></p><h3>Filament Used</h3><p>All black part seen in pictures are an amazing PLA filament I print with often:<br><br><a href="https://www.amazon.com/ZIRO-Printer-Filament-Dimensional-Accuracy/dp/B01H3IIE3Q?dchild=1&amp;keywords=ziro+filament&amp;qid=1618268065&amp;sr=8-1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=38233a25e9f7be8fd44ad382651b84b9&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Ziro</a> Carbon fiber PLA - <a href="https://amzn.to/2K5xE79?tag=thingiverse09-20">https://amzn.to/2K5xE79</a></p><p>I'm printing with a <a href="https://www.amazon.com/3D-Printer-Prusa/s?k=3D+Printer+Prusa&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=28c787aef7c5a20cf2004b821dd161bf&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Prusa</a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/3D-Printer-Prusa/s?k=3D+Printer+Prusa&amp;linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=28c787aef7c5a20cf2004b821dd161bf&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">i3 MK3s</a> so I use Prusament a lot too.
