3D Printed PinePhone stand

[simoni]

I tried a few different stands for my PinePhone but they all seemed to be designed to be used only for display and/or charging and made the phone difficult to use.  So I decided to design a stand specifically for use during development and test.  The stand is strong and stable with a comfortable angle and allows you to use the touchscreen and buttons with one hand.  The design is in OpenSCAD and is GPLv3 - so feel free to use it an adapt as required.

Very cool. Hoping this reduces the USB cable falling out easily.

Thank you

Nice!

Works like a charm. I found the fit between the tabs and slots was very tight. Other than that all the other problems were my newness to 3D printing. I think I will try to add a CE Dock holder as my first 3D design task.  It has been a very steep learning curve. Picture taken with my Pinephone

Different printers have different tolerances; I tried to add a bit of slack into the slots; but it should be pretty clear in the OpenSCAD code what needs to change to make it even looser.

Anyway; glad it worked for you   If you add in additional bits for the CE dock then you are welcome to make a push request to the github repo (or just link to your design and I'll include it if you are not familiar with github).

Nice work. I was inspired by your design, so I made something that was a little easier to print (also has a shorter print time and uses less material):

EDIT: Made a second version that prints more quickly with less material, and makes it easier to plug/unplug the USB cable:

Looks great The more designs to choose from, the better.

Hello @simoni  and @arcanemachine,

Very nice jobs    I'm looking for something like that.

I've an idea, as yours stands are in two parts, could you find a way to fix the part with the hole for the USB-C cable in landscape position to use the Pinephone in landscape mode ?

I've been meaning to do that... If you want to check back in 2 or 3 days, I should have a new version ready.

If you don't want to wait (and are handy with FreeCAD), the FreeCAD files are in my Thingiverse link.
