This is a swivel phone holder that swivels on a heavy spherical base.

It ca hold a phone vertically or horizontally.

There is a groove for holding the vertically and another one for holding it horizontally.

It is also very handy for taking photos as it will hold your phone straight at any angle, even on side slanted surfaces.

For this print, you will need to print.

• 1 base
• 1 swivel
• 1 rest
• 1 plug
• 2 pins

The swivel (half sphere) has to filled with sand or any heavy dry material to make the it heavy. This provides the necessary weight to hold the phone at almost any angle

.

Add as much material as you can to make it as heavy as possible. I found that gently tapping the sphere as you fill it helps pack the sand down. make to keep the threads for the plug clear of any sand.

screw in the plug and tighten it.

Insert the 2 pins in the holes on the flat surface of the swivel and insert the rest onto the pins.

depending on your printer everything might be tight enough but I recommend adding a drop of glue to the pins to hold everything securely.

Printing

First, no supports are required for any of the parts.

The most challenging part of this print, is printing the swivel (half sphere).

It is not difficult but use a small layer height to get a good surface finish (.16mm or smaller). so the challenge is patience…I guess.

The rest is very easy straight forward printing with nothing special to mention.

Thank you for printing and I hope you enjoy.
