Phone with wallet case car cup holder Nexus 5x

thingiverse

This is a case I've made to hold my phone in the car without having to remove it from the wallet case. It goes into a cupholder, the phone just wedges in the top with the case folded behind. It is designed for a Nexus 5x with a Mercury Goospery wallet case, but may also work for other phones. The slot is 16mm x 90mm. The whole screen is accessible on the nexus 5x. There is a central hole for a usb c charger in the bottom and one at the side for headphones. I have added a version without the holes in the cup part (will be slower to print). I've also shared the tinkercad files Originalhttps://www.tinkercad.com/things/c4AF7womnzr-n5xcupholderv7 Without holeshttps://www.tinkercad.com/things/85GSbJhhQCa-n5xcupholderv7no-holes The link below file is for a plug to hold my usbC cable in the mount so no fiddling to plug it in. Does need to be a tiny bit larger (I just glued it in) and may not fit other usb cables.https://www.tinkercad.com/things/l1gdSaugaow-usb-c-widget The cup part is 75mm diameter, this fits perfectly in the pop out cupholder on a Mitsubishi Delica D:5, but may be a bit large for some cupholders, it won't fit the centre console holes. The previous prototype was 70mm which was a bit loose, but fitted all the holders. Printed OK for me with no support in PLA, I've included some fillets to avoid too much bridging, but forgot about the triangular holes near the top, still came out OK on my anet a8. I used 20% infill, suspect it doesn't matter much as everything is so thin. My first attempt at building something for 3D printing, although this is the second prototype. Seems to work quite well, but no doubt can be improved.
