Resting Robot Cellphone Stand

myminifactory

This is the first model I published, a cute little robot that always looks happy to hold your cellphone for you. The body STL doesn't need any support at all. You have to rotate the head STL before printing (make sure the head is flat on the bed, in Cura use the "Lay flat" option), you can print it in one of two orientations: Neck up - that should print with no support Face up - that will need just a little bit of support but the face will look better I print both on the same bed, head face up, with support (Cura is smart enough to not generate supports for the body). The head-body connector is a little loose, this makes it work even for printers that over-extrude a bit, a drop of glue solves this. This model is designed for a FDM printer with a 0.4mm nozzle. I printed it in PLA, 0.2mm layer height, 5% infill, 1.2 shell width - but these settings are probably not important, this model is very forgiving to printer settings. V3 - With cable guide The third version adds a little tunnel to let you pass the phone's USB cable inside the body. It's a little bulkier (thicker legs and body) to allow room for the cable, also, with phones that have large rounded corners it's less stable because the force of the USB cable pushes the phone. The cable comes out of the robot's left side (your left when looking at the robot from the front, right from the robot's point of view), it doesn't fit phones where the USB connector is on the bottom, if your phone's connector is on the right you can mirror the STL. This version uses the same head as V2, please read the head printing instructions above in the V2 section.
