Feel free to leave a boost! =)

UPDATE
I added an additional Extender so you can adjust the length up to additional +50 mm for vertical tablet usage.

This fully 3D-printed articulating arm is designed to securely hold tablets and smartphones while providing flexibility and stability. The arm is clamped onto a desk and can rotate, allowing for optimal positioning. It accommodates devices from 125 mm to 215 mm in width, making it compatible with most phones and tablets.

For maximum rigidity, PLA is recommended for the structural components, while TPU is suggested for the clamp pads to ensure a secure and scratch-free grip. Whether for work, entertainment, or video calls, this adjustable holder offers a reliable hands-free solution.

The nuts for the holder and base are open on both sides. The nut for the large screw to clamp is only open on one side.

For assembly see further pictures:

@sanojjj

my A1mini suddenly fails printing the screws and nuts, any ideas what seems to be the problem? never hat something like this happen...

@franken3d

That is a slicing bug. Try slicing it from Bambu Handy since it worked for other people

@sanojjj

Replying to @franken3d :

thanks, I'm sure it will work!

@sanojjj

flipping the nut with hole helped, the base nut I can't get to work. however I just printed the one with a hole twice. I think the problem is on my side since other prints seem to work... extremely happy with the outcome! boosted.

I don’t have any TPU but it works fine all in basic PLA.

@franken3d

The TPU parts are optional. Thank you for sharing your make!

Excellently crafted, the interlocking parts fit together perfectly, bravo. However, I find the reinforcement slightly weak. I might make an improvement

@A.ilterish

Does it work with iPad Pro 12.9 or 13 inches ?

The designer has replied

@franken3d

Hi, it should work with the basic print profile. Consider printing the longer version of the Extender.

Thank you, I needed a tablet support light and not metal. Your design is much appreciated. just curious, you have 4 small screws and nuts on plate 05. It seems that only one set is required is there a purpose for the other 3?

The designer has replied

@franken3d

Hi, you are right. Only one screw is needed and the other ones are from the flexible version (similar built). I will update the profile. Thanks for the boost =).

@user_3951846694

good print, would be nice if you made the screw a little longer so you can add a cap on both ends to make it more secure. the phone tends to slowly dip down at certain angles

@franken3d

Thank you for your feedback, I will consider adapting it
