18/02/2025 Update: As requested, I've added a couple of bigger versions of the stand, one intended for bigger smartphones, the other should be able to take bigger devices like handheld gaming consoles and tablets.

 

I needed a phone stand with the following features:

• Easy to setup and fold with one hand

  

• No sticking-out parts so I can throw it in my backpack and it will not damage my laptop if I put weight over the backpack.

  

• Support for 30 and 60 degree angles, sometimes I want to watch my phone while I'm standing up and most models here are too vertical for my tase.

I could not find any, so I made my own.

I provide two different versions on each size:

• Print-in-place should work if your filament is properly tuned and your 3D printer is precise. I've tested it with Bambu Lab PLA, PETG-HF, ABS and PETG-CF, so I think that using Bambu Lab filament with Bambu Studio filament profiles is a safe bet.
   

• If the model is stuck after printing or you don't feel very confident about the success of the print, I recommend you to use instead the Split-parts version, it's very easy to assemble and it will be more forgiving.
   

  

Material considerations:

• PLA is very stiff and easy to print, it's a safe bet, but if your phone gets very hot, you should use something else.

• PETG-HF can take more heat and will probably resist better in the long term when you carry it around.

• PETG-CF is my personal favourite, all the advantages of PETG over PLA, plus the stiffness, and it looks really slick. 

• ABS is probably the best material for this print, lighter, it will hold together better with use and resists more heat, but it's very hard to print due to warping. It's also the cheapest filament per volume.
