Description
I like tracking my gym progress on my phone, so I needed a way to attach it to magnetic surfaces on workout machines. I designed a simple, MagSafe-compatible mount that I could 3D print.
After testing different materials, I found TPU plastic works best. It's flexible and grippy, unlike harder plastics. When mounted vertically, it stays in place thanks to its rubber-like properties.
If you're interested in creating this phone mount for yourself, here's what you'll need:
Magnetic Ring Holder for MagSafe iPhone (link to Aliexpress) Qty:1
N52 Neodymium Disc Magnets (link to Amazon) Qty:2
Printed on Prusa MK4, using Polymaker PoliFlex TPU95 filament, 0.2mm layer height, 0.4mm nozzle, 2 perimeters, fill density 25%
