Magnetic chicken foot phone stand

myminifactory

This is a phone stand/holder with a bendable arm and magnetic fingertips.You can use it to hold the phone while watching a movie, take videos, use it like magnifying lens, sitting on a table or stuck onto a metal plate, you can bend it and twist it like you want, just consider center of gravity...:-)) There is a scad file where you can change all the parameters. The arm is pretty stiff and will hold most phones, but make sure to make the foot wide enough and with magnets strong enough if you want them to hold it well...The arm is printed with 4 holes where I inserted 4 steel wires 1.5mm in diameter (this part shoul be printed with flexible filament).Make sure the holes for the wires are a little bit bigger than the wire so you can insert it easier than me that I made the holes the same size as the wire.My phone is a samsung S4, but you can size the holder to fit any phoneIf you like, and make it strong enough, you can use it for tablets too. If you like more stability, make the foot wider, longer and bigger "fingers" than the actual one...The magnets are inside the little domes at the finger tips, make sure they are big enough to embed them. You will have to insert them before printing the top side of the domes. A little explaination of the settings : https://youtu.be/A21PFItueSY ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I created these links where you can find all common filaments and spare parts at the best prices. These are just links to selected eBay and Aliexpress items, where I normally buy spare parts and materials for my printer, prices are excellent and products are good.
