Phone Stand Amplifier

thingiverse

A friend of mine craved a phone stand but desired ample space to plug his phone in while utilizing it. He yearned for something resembling the Groovi monster, prompting me to come up with this creation. I modeled it in AutoCAD, which proved to be quite challenging – probably would have been much simpler in Meshmixer or Fusion. The stand itself turned out to be surprisingly heavy (300g) or so; I haven't yet attempted to reduce that weight. The supports inside can be a bother to remove. Despite the challenges, it works decently well and should fit most smartphones, with the one in the picture being a Samsung Galaxy S9.
