Project Brief
"Design and 3D print a collapsible armature that can hold a phone upright in a horizontal, landscape position."
Tools and Materials Used
Dimension 768 ABS Plastic Printer
Rhinoceros
1) Process
For this project, I was focused on the practicalities of the phone stand, given the stand would have to be able to hold my personal cellular device and that I am the "client" of this product. Since the stand has to have moving parts, I wanted to take advantage of this and have the stand accommodate more than one angle, similarly to how some tablet covers have multiple angle settings.
The shape of the phone stand is rectilinear for practical reasons, and I first estimated comfortable angles for the phone to be resting at.
2) First Print
I had used the wrong tolerances for the first 3D file, so the hinges did not work out. Some cutting had to be done to separate the "legs" from the base.
3) Final Print
