Mountek Cradle for Nexus5

thingiverse

I created a substitute for the magnetic base that originally came with my Mountek nGroove Snap mount (http://tinyurl.com/pq9sk9t). My spouse recently purchased a semi-transparent phone case, and she expressed disappointment over the visible metal plate. To resolve this issue, I developed a cradle-style holder to take its place. I printed the ball socket using ABS due to issues with PLA prints cracking at the joint where the cylinder met the plate. This customized cradle provides extra room for a slim phone case. However, I discovered that the Google Nexus 5 case is too thick to fit inside (a colleague of mine owns one and attempted to slide it in, but it didn't fit). I specifically designed the power plug hole to accommodate a Monoprice USB A to Micro B cable; unfortunately, I cannot access the exact product's URL at this moment.
