Phone Holder 2.0

my project will solve the problem of your phone falling on your face while lying in bed.

2x4s

Screws

3d printer

Pipe cleaners

Hot glue/gun

this design should support most phones, but if you have a very large or very small phone, you will have to adjust the design. I am calling this bit that holds the phone, the “hand”

this is a paper prototype with the measurements i wanted. I made it out of paper first to make sure that it would fit my phone.

build the parts out in a CAD software. Make two left fingers and two right fingers and one wrist.

when you print it out, it should look something like this. It can be any color you want, i went with red. Next, you want to carve it out of the plastic

after carving it out of the plastic, this is what it looks like on my phone

fold one end of the pipe cleaner, and add a big glob of hot glue. Wait for it to dry, and thread it through the holes. Repeat until you have 4 pipe cleaners.

You can now adjust to fit your phone size. When you have the desired size, fold the pipe cleaner over and your phone will stay put.

the supports will be made out of wood, 2x4s specifically. You will need 5 decent sized 2x4s. Cut them out to the desired length and cut the specific angles. You will cut 2 base legs, 2 vertical legs, and 1 top beam.

this is what the wood looks like when it is all cut out.

place the vertical leg in the middle of the base leg, then use either brackets and medium screws or long screws to attach the legs together.

drive a screw through the center of the hand, and through the center of the bottom of the top beam. Use just one screws so that it can revolve.

go around and tighten all screws. You can sand down all sharp edges and paint it to any color you want.

attach your phone by loosening the pipe cleaners, and opening up the fingers. Then put your phone in, and tighten the pipe cleaners until the phone is secure. Lastly, fold back the pipe cleaner to hold it in place and en
