iPad mini Holder v02 with Extendable Arm and Speaker Holder

thingiverse

<p>This is a derivate of the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4429642"> V01</a>. The actual Tablet Holder has not undergone too many changes. In fact the Holder Top is exactly the same and there is only one small yet useful adjustment to the bottom Base part: slots for tiny cable ties were created in the back of the arc so that the USB cable may be tied to it. Thus they are not visible hanging behind the honeycomb pattern when the tablet is not in place. (It was ugly).</p> Besides of the tablet holder there are two more files / objects available now: there is an arm swivel with a slot to hold JBL Flip 5 speaker. The silver gray version goes nicely with the arm silver tint and metallic silver filament I used for printing it. Assuming the swivel will be mounted to a wall, the speaker holder is not designed to hold the speaker tight. Yet it sits in place nicely and can be easily taken out. There is space for charging cable to be plugged in and the central hole provides access to the on/off button and bluetooth pairing button from behind the speaker without a need to take the speaker out from its bed. Speaker is deliberately hanging low and a bit to the front so it is visible and also his other keys (like volume up and down) atop its body are also easily accessible beneath the tablet. Finally I've added also the screw holes blinds (caps). The holes itself are in exactly the same pattern as the flexible arm's original foot (swivel) so they are interchangeable. I haven't tested the blinds (caps) yet as now I have an intention to build v3 of the thing where there will be a space for a small charger with two USB ports inside the body of the swivel. Lucky me - there is power cable in the wall where the swivel is mounted so in the end I hope to have a design that appears "cable free" even though both the tablet and the speaker will be powered. Three slots to organize cables with cable ties are also provided on the back of the Swivel besides the ones on the Holder base arc. Obviously once the blinds are plugged in it will be very difficult to get them out again and unscrew the swivel form the wall. Not impossible (I'll probably drill them out carefully not to damage the swivel body so it is reused and only the blinds need to be printed again) but anyhow I'll install the blinds only when I'm done with modifications and improvements. <p>For other instructions and description please refer to <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4429642"> V01 iPad mini holder with extendable arm</a>. This V02 derivate only adds the Swivel and cable tie slots to the original desing - so everything written there stays valid.</p>
