Hello everybody!

This is my portable phone stand. I created it because I like to watch tv shows when I'm traveling so I needed it to be adjustable to accommodate the various sitting positions I find myself in. I printed quite a few on makerworld before deciding to make my own. While those stands served a purpose they aren't the most glamorous, and the fancy ones don't travel very well, unfortunately. So here we are, a phone stand designed to stand out. I channeled my inner teenage engineer for the retro sci-fi aesthetic.

Features

• A foldable design: making it highly portable
• A locking function: to allow it to support heavier items like tablets
• Customisable accents to match it to you colour scheme

• Consistent surfaces - because the side parts are printed face down both sides of the stand have the same texture when assembled.

   

Printability

Cleaning your print bed and using the correct filament profile settings will yield the best results. Some of the parts have a small contact area so a clean plate is essential. I recommend using the Cool Plate SuperTack or the Smooth PEI build plate as they will leave a nice texture and support the parts much better.

• Layer Height: Use 0.20mm for the main body and 0.10mm for the threaded pin to ensure the threads print with enough detail.
• Pins: In case they do not fit please download the Pins print profile. It has thinner pins. Print on a separate plate to reduce failures, as they are quite a small part.
• Walls & Infill: I use 4 wall loops to give it more weight.
• Supports: There is a small amount of support where the knob screws in, be sure to remove it before attaching it.
• Materials: I recommend Bambu PLA-CF or PLA Matte for a clean, premium finish and ensure you are using the correct filament profile for you filament.
