iPhone 6 Plus Crib Ball Mount

thingiverse

Two-part swivel mount to position iPhone 6 Plus on the side of a baby crib for use as a baby monitor. Contains a ball and socket joint for flexible swivel positioning. (UPDATE 9 July 2017: slight revisions to the phone mounting bracket. Thinned the phone clasps to reduce friction to a more manageable level, added two new socket cut-outs to allow horizontal as well as vertical orientation, and slightly increased the socket contact angle with the ball joint.) Designed to fit a 2.5" (63.5mm) wide crib railing with one flat and one rounded side (as shown in picture), because that's what our crib had. Easily snaps on. Crib rail depth is about 1" (25mm). The base is big enough that it will also function as a freestanding (tabletop or countertop) swivel mount as long as nothing bumps it. The ball and socket took a few tries to get the diameters and dimensions just right for appropriate friction, and enable snapping together without breaking the print. YMMV.
