Collapsible Phone and Tablet Stand

thingiverse

This is a phone/tablet stand which collapses when not in use. The viewing angle is adjustable. This is assembly only with plastic, using 3mm plastic "rivets" (awesome) to hold the parts together. Instructions Print one of each piece, assemble as shown using plastic rivets. I can't find the original video I watched that show how to make plastic rivets, so here are instructions. To make plastic rivets: Cut 3mm plastic filament to appropriate length (leave some extra). Hold the filament with pliers so it is vertical. Using a heat gun, heat the filament until it becomes limp like a wet noodle. Immediately lie the hot filament onto a clean glass surface and roll it back and forth with your hands. It will magically straighten. Touch a hot soldering iron to one end of the filament until a bit of it melts. Flatten the melted end onto glass for a few seconds until it cools. Insert the rivet into the it's final position. Clip the rivet, leaving only a little extra filament. Repeat step 5-6. Enjoy!
