smartphone car mount for air vents

thingiverse

Mount your smartphone on your car's vents with this versatile mount, specifically designed for my HTC 8X phone. I created the design in Onshape CAD using parametric dimensions, making it easy to customize for other phones.

Alternatively, add rubber bands to secure your phone and prevent rattling. You could also install a rubber pad on the back of the mount for added grip. Design Inspiration The 4-pronged holder was inspired by the Kenu Airframe mount design. I tailored the side and bottom tabs to fit my HTC 8X Windows Phone perfectly, leaving enough space for a standard micro USB cable through the cutout in the bottom tab. Design Tools I used Onshape CAD to create this mount, making it easy to modify parameters to fit other phones.
