Phone holder (3D print)
 

I noticed the console can barely fit a phone and it seems to get really hot, so I made this pocket that slides in the space between the carpet and center console. No velcro or tape needed. I designed it for my iPhone 7 (fits a 5 as shown) and probably fits others.

Inside pocket is ~.4" x 5.4"

The files are attached if you want to modify as well as the .STL if you just want to slice and print.

Not an M.E., but I like to have fun in Solidworks. If you do make improvements, please post in this thread so everyone can take advantage. Thanks!

Looks nice and functional. PLA? Looks like no supports needed if printed as pictured.

Thanks!

No supports needed. I tried to make it super simple and easy to print. I went with quarter cubic 50% infill. I originally had 25%, but the piece that gets shoved between the console and carpet would break after several removal cycles. If you don't plan on pulling it out, you could go 25% and save a little print time.

I did it in ABS because I already had it loaded for another project. Probably would look nicer in PLA. :thumbup:

You’re welcome! No sense in trying to make a new wheel. I’ll give this a try one day this week at quarter cubic and 50%. I have ABS loaded at the moment so that’s what I’ll use too.

This is an awesome design Idea - I just need to stretch it to fit a Samsung Note 20 5G - will pass this on to a friend who has a 3D printer...much apoprecited!

I'd pay money for one for my iPhone 12! I'm not a 3D printer guy so there is zero chance I'd undertake this on my own.

Can you post your modification? Would use that for a Note 20 Ultra.

I just bought a iPhone 12 Pro Max so here is an updated file. It can hold a phone that is 6.5" long. The original Solidworks file and an STL is attached.

It should fit Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.

that is pretty cool... full size Samsung would be cool, so who is going to sell them LOL...

Really nice. A discreet way to store your phone inside the car.

i've been reading more and more about 3D printing. Is there a home printer one of you guys recommend for a beginner? This would be my first project :)

Creality Ender 3 pro or 3v2. About $200. I added an auto bed leveling sensor (about $50) and nothing else and it’s great.

Can you adjust the phone pocket width to hold 0.45" x 6.25" long mod to the 6.5" long one? (Pixel 4 with case)
