Phone Stand + EDC Fidget toy [Energy core]

December 25, 2024
Description
It is a combination of a mobile phone holder and an EDC fidget toy. It's a fun and highly functional mobile phone holder. Its appearance is designed in a cool mecha style, and I named it "Energy Core" (Well... a bit chuunibyou).
As a mobile phone holder, it adopts the support arm structure with a flip cover and hinge opening and closing that I designed before, which is easy to unfold and fold. On the basis of the previous version, the support stability has been optimized and the printing difficulty has been reduced.
As an EDC fidget toy, the specially adjusted knob with a tactile click has a smooth feel and clear clicks. The tactile click when the flip cover is closed has also been optimized. The sound of closing the cover is crisp and the feel is first-class.
It can be printed in one piece without assembly.
It can be printed directly with default parameters or sliced in the cloud via a mobile app and then printed directly.
Tested filaments: PLA-Basic, PLA-Matte, PETG-HF.
There are slight differences in the final feel presented by different consumables. The feel of PLA is tighter, while that of PETG is smoother.
After the printing is completed, for the first use, you need to separate each movable part with force. You may need to use tools such as a small screwdriver, a knife, etc. Please operate carefully to avoid getting hurt.
If the wheel is fused, press it hard several times and it can be separated.
