Prototyping adjustable phone stand improvements

Prototyping adjustable phone stand improvements

My adjustable phone stand is published, but I'm not jut fully happy with how it looks and works.

  • More 'balance' in how it looks. The rounded edges don't fit well with the hard hex shapes and the thin bottom also doesn't feel right.
  • The holes don't offer as much angles as I had hoped. So I'm going to tilt one of them.

Currently I'm printing at 50% scale, as you can see on the top picture. After testing I figured the more center hole is no longer needed. So I this might be the next version:

Another thing I'd like to try it so make the insert 'click' with this design.
