Phone Stand With Charger

I made a phone stand so my dad can be more organized while doing his work. It will be easier for him to watch his phone or make phone calls while working on his computers. It was important that the phone stand was sturdy enough to stand up on its own with any phone and was the correct size for my dad. It was also important for him to be able to have his phone sit vertically or horizontally. I also added a spot for a charger so his phone could charge while in the stand.

-Carboard

-Tape

-Scissors or X-acto knife

-Paper and pencil

-Inkscape

-Glowforge

-Lazer cutter

-Potentially wood or glue

You will need 1 piece close to the scale of 3.5 by 3.25 inches. 1 piece close to the scale of 4 by 3.25 inches. 1 piece close to the scale of 3/4 by 3.25 inches. 2 pieces that are a triangle in shape (see #4) close to the scale of 4.5 by 3.5 by 3.5 by 3/4 inches.

Using a ruler and scissors cut out the cardboard into the different pieces and tape them together like so.

Draw out the shapes to scale on graph paper.

Import your photos into Inkscape and create a vector image.

Using glow forge import your file in order to laser cut and change the settings for the material you are using. I laser cut the image into cardboard due to time and also in order to make sure my design was correct but since I have it in Inkscape I could change the settings and print it out of wood.

Laser cut and cut or glue together depending on material.
