smartphone deskstand v2

thingiverse

Hi there, Update: I was playing around with the design and discovered that the bar only attached on one side - I adjusted the 2 Circles which formed it so they had equal diameters. All uploaded files are now correct versions that should be easier to assemble. The pictures show the older, incorrect version still in place / everything else has been updated. The left-side piece with a lock needs to be rotated before printing - I need to figure out how to export it correctly. This is an improved version of my slim smartphone desk stand - and since it was completely new-designed, I created something entirely different for it. There are 4 separate files, but you won't need all of them. Option 1: 'side' and 'lock' twice, plus one 'bar'. Option 2: 'side_wlock' twice, plus one 'bar'. The 'bar_wstop' has very small elevations to keep the sides in place - I'm guessing this can be printed without any support. I'll try it out right now. In the rendered picture, you see these colors: Red - the 'side' part Yellow - the 'lock' Green - the 'bar' Blue - 'side_wlock' I've printed Option 1 (as shown in the pictures) and it fits together really well. However, this depends on the filament used - some create thicker walls while others don't (is there a specific term for this?). Feel free to remix it, print it, and share it. It would be great if you could refer back to me. How I Designed This Design Process As I use Fusion 360, this was quite straightforward: Draw a box the size of my phone - mark a point in the middle (center of gravity - good enough for this purpose). Draw a line vertically and snap the middle point to that line. Make all construction elements and ensure the box is well-defined so it can only be moved up and down, or rotated around the middle point snapped to the line. Define parameters d and r: d is the thickness of the walls (I chose 2.3 mm ~ 0.3mm first layer and 10 times a regular one), while r is the retract of the bar (like 0.2 mm - depending on the filament). Draw circles and lines to match the design. Snap as much as possible to pre-drawn lines (I started with the big outer circle) - I created a "middle point" at the lower end of the phone (11mm width, 5.5 mm from front and back, and 5.5mm from the bottom). This point is the center for the small circles at the bottom of the phone. When you snap those right, you can rotate the phone just right to choose the angle. I've added the DXF file too. If you have all lines and "retract lines" (which make the bar a bit smaller on the outside and larger on the inside so it fits together), draw - it's just some extrusions and arranging on the print bed - this time, I won't provide a full set; you need to put it together as stated above. Have fun!
