I love the original design (Phone/Tablet Stand - Flat fold - Print in place! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3146835). It is superpractical: small size, it prints in one print and you can use it right away, folds flat for carrying, .... Its small version is credit card sized but still can hold large phones like a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 horizontally and vertically. I only see one flaw -very minor- which is that the moving part on the base that is supposed to stop the phone from sliding down turns all the way, almost 180º, instead of staying kind of vertical. Still it does its job, but that is the only no-so-elegant part of this awesome design. So, I imported the stl in sketchup and lifted up a couple triangles by a tiny bit (0.2mm), so that when turning, it would interfere with the base earlier, thus stopping at a slightly more vertical angle, which I find more elegant.I also added "OPEN" as text in that part. I include the stl, the .skp and two gcodes for ENDER 3 PRO printer. For printing, you must make sure that in Cura you set the horizontal expansion to -0.2mm (yes, negative value), otherwise, the different parts will get soldered together and you will not be able to make them move. Optionally I suggest to use the feature "enable ironing" in CURA, as it will smoothen the top surface, and the finish will be much better, at the expense of a little longer print. From the 2 gcodes, the only difference is that one has the ironing selected. You can print both and see the difference.
