V3 Multiangle Foldable Phone, Tablet, Laptop Stand

How many desk phone stands have you owned? If you're like me and have bought many stands designed for just one type of device, you'll love this versatile stand.

This stand is portable, foldable, lightweight, and has multiple tilt angles. It can hold cell phones, tablets, and even laptops (at certain angles) securely on your desk. The platform offers 18 tilt angles from 10° to 74°, giving you the best viewing angle for your devices.

Made up of 3 easy-to-assemble components that can be printed on a single print plate, the stand is a breeze to put together thanks to its spring pin design. You can print each components at different colors to suit your styles.

Updates: 

2024-11-15 V2 Stands is launched. Base plate hinges are beefed up. Aux Stop Plate is added to accommodate devices with very thick cases. i.e. Kids Tablets

2024-11-17 V3 Stands is launched. Raised Plate is added to make room for phone charging cable. Now you can use the stand while the phone is charging. 

2025-01-06 Added print profile for PEO, PEY, PET, H1H patten print plates.  It's extremely tricky to get good adhesion on these build plates. This print profile has been fine-tuned and tested to ensure good prints every time. Please well clean the print plate with dish detergent and hot water, fully air dried, before printing to ensure good adhesion.

2025-01-06  Extra Large version is launched! As cell phone are getting larger and larger, many people is asking me to make a larger version of this versatile stand.  Check the print profile area to find it. It's under the Maple Leaf version.

Upgrade you printed stands:

Both V2 and V3 print profiles are posted. This Stand is designed with modules in mind. You only need to replace the components as needed for upgrades. Please select the correct print profile for the Stands or the upgrade components you need.

Here is a photo to show upgrade from V2 (red) to V3 (white) components changed.  Just repalce the components as needed.

Material:

I've printed the stands in the photo in PLA, PLA+, PLA Matte, PLA Silk, PETG-HF.  All were printed, assembled, and work well using the uploaded print profiles. I suggest to print this in PETG for better feel and better flexibility of the spring pins.

Install Kick Stand to Platform: see the orientation of the taper edge on Kick Stand for correct orientation. Don't worry if installed wrong, the components can be removed and reinstall again. Just don't compress the “spring” too much to damage it.

Installed Platform Plate to Base: See the snap-lock to ensure Platform and Base are installed in the correct orientation.

Install Aux Stop Plate to Base: Use the side wall to slide the pin into the hole. Pay attention to the orientation of the components.

Installed the Raised Plate to Platform: Use the side wall to slide the pin into the hole. Pay attention to the orientation of the components.

After installation the components, exercise them a few times so that the pins and holes of the hinges are wear-in and become smooth.

Operation:

When not in use, it flattens to just 8mm thick, making it super portable. You can carry it in a briefcase, purse, school bag, or even your jeans pocket. The platform is kept in place by two snap-locks. To disengage the snap-locks, use the slots on both sides.

Adjust the tilt by lifting the platform and lowering the ‘kickstand’ to one of the 18 slots. The strips on the each side are the reinforced beams and tilt angle reminders.

In working mode:

• Cell Phones: Can use any of the 18 slots (10° - 74° tilt).
• Tablets: Can use slots 1 to 16 (74° - 17°). The last two slots don't provide good support.
• Laptops: Use slots 6 to 12 for viewing or light typing. I use one stand in the office to raise my laptop monitor to the same height as my other desktop monitors. If you need more stability, especially for heavier use, I recommend using two stands side-by-side. If the spring pins pop out, just reassemble them. They’re designed to pop out rather than break.

Two Stands Mode:

I really love this stand, and so do my friends and colleagues who’ve tried it. I hope you like it too. Feel free to share any improvement ideas!

Improvements detail:

V2 Stands 

1. Hinges on the base plate are beefed up.

   

2. Aux Stop Plate is added for extra thick devices which slide off from the original design of stop edge. For example, kids tablet with extra thick cartoon case.  Aux Stop Plate folds flat and locks onto the Base. It can be tilted up to lean against the original stop to give extra height of the stop for thicker devices. Installation of this Aux Stop Plate is as easy as the other plates.

   

   

V3 Stands

1. Add Raised Plate to allow charging cable to plug into the port located at the bottom of a phone in portrait mode. This is designed for cell phone only. Although I've tested ok with my tablet, I'm not recommend using the tiny Raised Plate to hold your tablet which may be larger and heavier than the one I tested.
