Description
I’ve added a custom Air Vent Insert tested on a 2010 Lexus GS350.
It clips securely onto the dashboard air vent louvers and works as a mount for the adjustable phone clamp.
It may be compatible with other Lexus models from the same generation, but I haven’t been able to verify that.
Added the Mushroom Grip for the MagSafe Plate. Each model name (e.g., Mushroom Grip TPU 20mm) indicates approximate finger size. For a softer touch, I printed these in Polymaker PolyFlex TPU 95. You can also use this grip with the adjustable phone clamp — it may offer improved comfort and handling.
Designed a workbench stand to hold a phone above a desk — great for recording instructional videos. It integrates well with the phone clamp described here. 📁 Files: Articulated Arm Stand and Clamp
Also added a MagSafe Plate (in Magnetic Mounts folder). You'll need a Magnet Ring — available on AliExpress or Amazon.
For use on vibrating surfaces (e.g., vehicles), normal tightening may not hold a large phone. ✅ Print ball components in TPU (TPU 95A, 70% infill) for more friction and grip. Worked well in my tests — feel free to share your results!
By user request, I resized two phone mount parts to fit a Samsung S20 FE with OtterBox Defender case. Not tested by me, but received positive feedback.
Published a Phone Clamp version with EPDM foam pockets, great for rigid phone cases. This version uses the material's flexibility to grip the phone — no need to adjust clamp size. 🎥 A video is included to guide assembly.
I removed some files that no longer fit the project scope. Related models will appear in new uploads over time.
PlasticClamp is a modular clamping system built from 3D-printed components. You can mount phones, flashlights, cameras, and more onto surfaces like:
Flat magnetic panels
Round bars
Table edges or tray tables
Trees or posts
Ask yourself:
What object am I mounting?
Where do I need to attach it?
How much flexibility or reach do I want?
The system uses ball-and-socket joints, clamps, and knobs for flexible, tool-free assembly.
