Description
A phone holder with adjustable inclination. Â It firmly holds set position without needing to engage any locking mechanism. Â Prints in place with no supports. Â
The initial turn takes a little bit of extra force. Â Do not over torque the adjustment knob, or you risk breaking it off. Â Instead, insert an Allen wrench into any one of the 4 planet gears (see picture #5) and turn just a fraction until the mechanism breaks free. Â It should move easily and freely using the adjustment knob at that point.Â
Load as single object having multiple parts in slicer. Â Test prints done in PLA, .2 layer height, 4 walls, 0 top and 0 bottom layers, 30% honeycomb infill, no supports or brim.
A second model is also provided, better sized for tablets. Â See last photo for size comparison shot between models.Â
