PDF Phone Stand

thingiverse

Since many of us will be working from home for the foreseeable future, a phone stand that captures perfect pictures of 8.5X11 paper is essential. This device allows users to scan paper and upload it as PDFs for those who must use their phone. The design has been tested with a Galaxy Note 8, iPhone 6, and LG X Charge, all of which work perfectly. Print: - 2X PDF rod - 2X PDF top piece - 2X PDF foot - 1X PDF phone holder WARNING: - Tolerances are extremely small (0.005 inches or 0.127 mm) so parts fit together very tightly. - Also, print the phone holder with a raft or brim if printing vertically as pictured above. My phone holder part failed mid-print but still works. The actual phone holder part is wider than what is pictured. Print Settings: - 2 walls, 2 bottom and top layers - 10% infill - 0.2 mm layer height These settings are the most material efficient, as many of us are limited to only the filament we have on hand. The final part is still more than strong enough. This design is easy to assemble, requires no external hardware, and is very sturdy. Assembly Notes: - Some force is required to assemble. After assembly, the stand should be exactly 9 inches at its tallest. This is a good way to check if all parts are inserted completely. - A viewing window has been added to the underside of the PDF phone holder part to help center it on the two top piece parts. - Due to the small tolerances, this design can be difficult to disassemble. Please feel free to make any improvements to this design.
