This was heavily inspired by and is essentially a remix this thing by DieZopfe: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4694593 Car mounted phone holder (spring loaded) === I couldn't find a phone holder that had a spring loaded clasp/clamp, so I decided to make one. The clasp is a print in place part and has an access hole for the spring to be inserted. See the print instructions on the ball joint here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4708011 **The spring I used was a 8mm OD x 16mm long compression spring** (found here: https://www.diyelectronics.co.za/store/springs/54-compression-spring-18mm-long-6mm-od-45mm-id.html). This is the type of spring you would find in an extruder assembly or heated bed adjustment screw. The fully extended length with spring can hold a phone from 70mm up to 80mm wide depending on the spring
