Tablet Stand with push button adjustments

thingiverse

This is a versatile tablet/phone stand that can be easily adjusted by simply pushing the button located on its side. All parts, including the spring and locking mechanism, are completely 3D printable components. This means it can even be printed using many smaller printers (150mm). I have personally printed it on my Mono Price Select Mini and CR-10S with outstanding results. Only one part requires some support during printing - the front leg, which also needs full support for its hinge area. The rest of the parts print fine without any support for me. For optimal results, I recommend printing the front and back on their thinner sides (see the combined plate for the recommended position). I hope you enjoy this stand as much as I do! A combined plate is provided for convenience, although I typically print each part separately since only the front leg requires support, and removing supports from the spring would be quite tedious. This stand's design makes it an excellent size for a tablet (even my 10-inch tablet), but if you prefer to use it with your phone, simply scale it down to 75%, which is roughly the perfect size for most phones. I have included pictures that demonstrate the difference between full-size and scaled-down versions (75% and 50%). Please note that I was still refining the design when I printed those smaller prototypes, so you might notice that their buttons are slightly too long. To assemble this stand, follow these steps: First, place both legs together; next, insert the gear; then, add the spring; after that, push in the spring cap; finally, secure everything with a small pin. To do this properly, turn the spring cap so its hole aligns with the one in the front leg hinge, allowing the cap pin to fit snugly into place. The diamond-shaped cutouts were designed to reduce plastic usage and print time while still avoiding the need for supports. Feel free to make them solid or create your own unique design! However, please do not sell these designs without my explicit permission first.
