Ipad Mini stand (for Mini 1 to 3, 6 plus and more)

Well after years of having a full sized IPAD I have now been using the mini for some time. In a nutshell the mini's are brilliant. This stand also doubles for iphone 6+ as well as the iphone 5s. They all fit really well in this. I have tried the Ipod touch too. This is a mini version of my other stand and still retains the angular device to the stand to help increase the strength. Works very well. This was also a quicker print file as it uses considerably less plastic than some of the other stands. The holder gap width is 8.5mm printed. Two versions available. The "Mobile" is without holes for screws. The "Stable" version includes screw holes. The "Mobile" version is shown in the photos. UPDATE: I made a number of updates as (1) I wanted a very snug fit version, (2) I wanted a slightly steeper angle and (3) I noticed that some prints of V1 and V2 would result in less fused plastic around the angular device that resulted in weakness if not printed on one side. I rectified this by printing on one side which was very strong. But side printing resulted in more supports and wasted plastic. So I designed a curved version (V3) which, if printed vertically the either left or right side facing down, is now VERY strong. Trial and error has suggested reinforced curved sides to be much stronger (and with grooves in the base). Might just be printing on an UP - but that is what I found. Using the "grain" of the printed produce to achieve vertical slices rather than horizontal slices makes it much stronger if you like (makes sense). Anyway V3 and V4 (with button space) added. .
