Display-Lift Phone desktop stand

German

• My desk stand for devices with a VESA mount looked at me and declared its versatility, thus birthing the “Phone” variant
• The stand is height and tilt adjustable Height adjustment can be locked to prevent heavier phones (or tablets) from sagging
• If needed, the stand can be made taller by simply swapping the 50mm arm for a longer one Available lengths in the STL file list: 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120 and 150mm (distance between rotation axes)

• Thanks to my niece, a solution now exists for the Samsung Flip, whose rear thumb rest precludes a flat back

   

• Version 1
  • For devices with a fixed 14mm mounting width

• Version 2

  • Adjustable mounting width from 0mm to 20mm

  • Ideal for modern slim tablets

     

• Assembly
  • Insert the rubber feet into the base plate Firm pressure should suffice
  • Insert the joint holder into the base plate:
    • First, insert the rounded tip into the provided recess, then firmly tap the opposite end
    • Disassembly is equally simple a firm tug on the joint holder is all it takes
  • Attach the locking knob to the joint holder:
    • Slightly compress the joint holder gap
    • Slide the locking knob over the mounting cylinder ensuring the small control knob is horizontal
    • Release the joint holder the locking knob will now hold independently
  • Press one arm roller into the joint holder It is easier with the locking knob vertical
  • Insert a set screw into the roller This screw merely prevents disassembly and does not affect clamping force
  • Snap the phone holder into the tilt joint:

  • Press the tilt joint into the corresponding recess using the small bead at the edge	The joint now rests on the edge on the other side Place a suitable object (I used a wide-bladed screwdriver) on the bead

    • Firmly tap the screwdriver to seat the bead in the recess
    • This is slightly more challenging than with the base plate
    • Unlike the base plate, this join is irreversible without damaging the parts
  • Press the tilt joint onto the other arm roller
  • Tighten the other set screw
  • COMPLETE! when using the simple fixed-width phone holder (v1)
  • For the adjustable-thickness holder (v2), proceed as follows:
    • Loosely insert the two device holders
    • Optionally, attach the rubber caps (adhesion is preferable)
    • Position the device and fully insert the device holders

  • COMPLETE!

     

• Operation/Function
  • Height adjustment via arm rotation:
    • Position the locking knob vertically
    • Gently move the arm
    • Return the locking knob to horizontal to prevent sagging under load
  • Tilt adjustment
    • Adjust the tilt by pushing/pulling the phone holder

    • Due to reduced force vectors, fixation is unnecessary

       

• 3D Printing

  • I used BambuLab’s new TPU90A for the rubber feet TPU95A might yield firmer feet If they don’t fit, print slightly smaller feet

     

• Materials
  • I tested the stand with Bambu’s PLA Basic PETG should also work without modification
