Universal Telescope Mobile Phone Mount

thingiverse

Here's a mobile phone mount that fits my and my friends' phones perfectly. I was dissatisfied with the existing mounts (no offense to them!). So, this is my take on creating one from scratch. This is version 1.0, and I'm already thinking about some enhancements for the next update. It works seamlessly with my "First Scope" telescope and in pictures taken with Celestron 9mm Wide Angle Eyepiece - I think the default lenses that came with this scope would need adjustment to the clip to fit over the focuser. For assembly: you'll need: 6x M3 bolts 6x M3 nuts 4x M3x30mm (or longer as seen in pictures) 1x M3x10mm (or longer - for attaching the clip to the base) 1x M3x12mm (or longer - for clip tension) Print Settings: Printer: HicTop Prusa I3 ABL Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3 Infill: 30% Tetrahedral Notes: With ABS, use a 5mm raft; with PLA, it's not necessary. Post-Printing: A 3mm drill bit is needed to clear the screw holes in the jaws. Design Details: This mount is designed for bolts with hex heads. For easy adjustments, I used wing nuts or printed a knob from [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1245830]. I prefer the printed knobs since they have more contact surface. Reasonably sized washers work well with wing nuts too.
