About this model
I made this foldable phone stand to print in one piece, with hinges that work straight off the bed. It folds flat, pops open, and holds a phone for watching, reading, or video calls, and it prints in under 30 minutes using less than 7 grams of filament.
The best part is the pattern trick. I leave the top and bottom solid layers at 0 and let the infill show through, so I get more than 10 different looks without opening design software. Gyroid and Honeycomb are my favorites, though any infill pattern works.
Print settings
- Filament: PLA
- Layer height: 0.17-0.2 mm
- Infill: 15%-40%
- Supports: none
- Raft: none
- Brim: none
- Ironing: on for a cleaner top surface when I am not using a pattern
- Scale for a cased phone: 105%-110%
Pattern tutorial
For the pattern look, I set the solid layers under Horizontal Shells to 0, then set the infill to 15%-30% and pick a pattern, then slice.
In a slicer with wall-loop and shell controls, I set wall loops to 3, slow the first layer to below 20 mm/s, set the top and bottom shell layers to 0, then set the sparse infill to 15%-30% and pick a pattern, then slice. Those steps also work in other slicers with the same controls.
Five print profiles are included, one for each pattern: Hilbert Curve, Archimedean Chords, Honeycomb, Aligned Rectilinear, and Gyroid.
Tips
- Hinge: I have printed this more than 10 times, and the hinge has worked straight off the bed every time. The hinge clearance in the file is 0.5, and I have also used a clearance down to 0.2. A lower clearance means less wobble.
- No XY change: this is hinge clearance, not XY Size Compensation, so I have not changed any XY setting for this stand.
- Fit: a bare phone and a cased phone do not fit the same way, so I check the scale before I print.
