Foldable Phone Stand

I liked the recent Foldable Phone Stand uploaded by @AndreasG and printed one for my adult daughter which she loves. It is great but I thought I could improve it by reducing the part count and getting rid of the threads. See: https://www.printables.com/model/202498-foldable-phone-stand

I designed this from scratch in Fusion 360 with the goals of simplicity and printability while maintaining the basic function of adjustability and compactness when folded up.

I used clicky teeth on the interface between the hook and leg instead of friction of a screw and nut:

The circular teeth design with a big challenge for me to model in Fusion 360 especially with the beveled tooth ends but I did come up with a method after several tries.

CAD model is included, sadly not parameterized.

I've printed it in PLA and ASA on my MK4 so far, both worked well without support in the suggested orientation. Print with the “hook” on edge and large flat face on the leg at the bottom:

PLA has just the right amount of bendability to get the leg over the hook. I used 4 perimeters but less may work fine. ASA has more springiness so it goes together a bit easier. Both “hold” in position with my iPhone 14 Pro and case with no problem.

If you need extra holding power try warming up the sides with a bit of heat and bending in the tips a bit as shown. For PLA just bend in the sides a tiny bit (1mm each side?), it tends to be very rigid.
