Simple Phone and Tablet Stand

thingiverse

This is a minimalist stand designed to hold either a small tablet or phone in landscape orientation. It relies on two 8 mm steel rods to connect its two halves, ensuring a sturdy and compact design. The creator's goal was to produce something that could be easily printed without requiring supports, while also utilizing spare parts they had on hand. The photos demonstrate the stand's versatility by showcasing both an iPhone 8s and a Samsung Tab A 8". The rods are positioned close enough together to accommodate tablets in portrait mode. Steel rods were chosen due to their availability and aesthetic appeal. However, users can opt for printing shafts as an alternative if they prefer. For those who do not have access to steel rods, there are numerous more visually appealing options available on Thingiverse. The creator believes that a white finish would enhance the stand's appearance. It can be printed using any material, but the black PETG used in this instance was a convenient choice due to its availability. The 8 mm steel rods employed in this design can be sourced from Amazon at http://a.co/d/58FrYdv.
