Smartphone Pocket Tilt Stand

I've always dreamed up a compact "Pocket Smartphone Tilt Stand" that I can carry with me wherever I go, leaving it on a table or counter at home or work so it's always within reach when I sit down to use my Smartphone. The Stand had to be small and lightweight enough to fit easily in my pocket or my wife's purse, making it accessible anywhere we are. With these goals in mind, I designed this tiny "Pocket Smartphone Tilt Stand," which works seamlessly with most tablets as well. This model also scales effortlessly. I print mine at 100% for most Smartphones; at 150% for small tablets; and at 200% for larger tablets. They print quickly and require minimal post-print finishing. I print mine in PLA, but I think ABS could produce an even better model. Since they print rapidly and are so useful, you might want to print extras to give to friends and family as thoughtful gifts. I printed mine in Black, but my wife prefers the Light Blue and light Yellow ones I made for her. I print these using the following settings: Resolution="Standard"; InfIll=20%; Shells=4; Layer Height=0.15mm; Raft=On. They all turn out well, and require only a tiny bit of post-print finishing on the "bottom" end (as printed). Have Fun printing and using one or more of these small Tilt Stands, and please let me know if there are any improvements I should consider. - Mike
