Galaxy Tab 4 7.0" stand

thingiverse

This is a modified version of Thing 184920, a Galaxy Tab 2 stand. I simply adapted it for the Tab 4. Speaker ports removed. The 4 has no speakers there. Slightly narrowed to fit the slimmed-down later model. Connector space completly reworked - the tab 2 has a propritary dock connector, the tab 4 uses micro-USB. I've carefully (ie, eventually, in seven prints) shaped this to be an exact fit for the USB cable that comes with the tablet. Back reworked a little to use less filiment and print faster. Fixed some really bad geometry, like burried faces and assymetry. It works pretty well. The only problem I found is that it's so lightweight, you can't actually get the tablet out with one hand - the extraction force for the USB connector is greater than the stand weight! I solved this by supergluing it to my desk. It's also a slightly imperfect fit, so you have to wiggle it a little to get the tablet in, but that's really standard for any tablet stand. They never seem to fit exactly, even the ones molded conventionally. Instructions This is a really easy print job. No support material, no fiddling, and a healthy large flat surface on the bottom to keep it on the bed. There's a small bridge on the bottom, where the USB cable goes through, that's the hardest bit. some gentle overhangs too, but nothing that should prove difficult for even the cheapest of printers.
