iPhone Lamp Clip

thingiverse

This bracket attaches my phone to the metal shade of a small desk lamp. It is attached with a single small bolt and nut. Lamp has a weighted base and adjustable neck. Intended to hold the phone in a steady well-illuminated position for recording videos or timelapse photography of drawings. Here is a short time lapse sketch video recorded with this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5EMarSBe0o (The app I use to record time lapse videos is called Frameograph.) Designed for an iPhone 5c, but other devices might fit. The clip area cross section is 59mm by 8.5mm. I have a low-wattage compact fluorescent bulb in this lamp. Be careful if you try something similar with a bulb that gets very hot - you don't want the plastic to melt. Note: I accidentally snapped off part of the so-called final clip. The reinforced version is actually more recent; it is slightly thicker and has ribs to strengthen the corner that broke. I'm learning design principles and PLA properties by trial and error! Instructions Printed in PLA with 0.2 mm layer height, 3 top & bottom layers, 2 perimeters, and 0.1 rectilinear infill. I had to drill out the hole in the base in order for the intended bolt to fit easily.
