Mobile phone stand

thingiverse

This is my second "Thing".\nThere are dozens of designs for phone stands available on Thingiverse, and I've tried a few of them out, but my INNOS D6000 phone has two batteries which makes it quite heavy and thicker than most mobile phones. So I decided to take a crack at designing my own mobile phone stand, and this is the result.\nIt can be a bit of a balancing act with just one stand, so you may need to print two.\nThere are four different base styles to choose from.\nHope you like it.\nPrint Settings\nPrinter Brand:\n RepRap\n Printer:\n Original Prusa i3 MK2\n Rafts:\n No\n Supports:\n No\n Resolution:\n 0.2mm\n Infill:\n 15%\n Notes:\n The base was scaled in Slic3r to 105% in the Z axis just to make the bottom of the slot a little bit thicker (from 1.0 to 1.3mm). You may not feel the need to do that.\nI printed it with a 10mm brim to make it stick to the print bed without warping. I tried it with just 6mm brim but that wasn't enough to stop the ABS lifting at the corners.\nPost-Printing\nJust remove the brim and rub down the edges that were in contact with the print bed. Takes about 5 minutes. Push fit the stand into the base. It'll be a good tight fit. You can glue it if you want to, but I don't think it's necessary.\nHow I Designed This\nI designed the first version as one piece, but the bond between the layers on the stand upright was not very strong, and the print quality was pretty poor as the ABS was not solidifying fast enough on the previous layers creating a wobble on the layers under the one being extruded. Even slowing it down to 50% speed didn't help much. The best solution was to separate the base from the stand.
