# By Default Bracket to Hold an iPad Mini in Its Case Holding the iPad mini in landscape orientation with holes for a nut, which can be screwed into a tripod. # But It's a Customizer By adjusting parameters, you can do almost any phone or case, in either landscape or portrait. Your tripod has a removable wedge? You can print it as part of the holder and save your tripod's wedge for something else. Inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3050360, but this is original work by me. Measure your phone or pad, measure your tripod wedge, and enter the values in the customizer. OpenSCAD files are just text files. You can get finer control than the customizer with the free and open-source OpenSCAD. Download the .scad file and edit it directly for more control. For the 'screw' version, follow the directions on https://www.thingiverse.com/make:627721. For the 'wedge' version, you'll need to enable supports touching the build plate. These holders are very nice for VoiceOver calls. ## Update 10/13/2019 1:30pm PDT I liked the design so much that I printed a version for a full-sized iPad without a case. In the slicer, I rotated by 45° to make it fit my print bed. For a Pro iPad on a small printer, I'd split this into three pieces - a bottom base as big as will fit and a left and right top piece. I'd cut 2mm alignment holes vertically, glue it all together with cyanoacrylate using filament in the alignment holes. ## Version 1.1 • Min thickness of iPad set to 4 to support devices not in cases • Better header comments on modules • Fixed "window" cutout for thin devices • From 12.8mm to 13mm for tripod retaining nut, it now goes in easily but needs glue to secure it • Tripod screw hole increased so it is large enough for the tripod's thread • More reinforcement for tripod screw and retaining nut for thin devices ## No Case 11" iPad (Like iPad Air) Settings for the customizer: iPadLength = 240.5; iPadThickness = 6; iPadZ = 74; FingerThickness = 4;
