Improved Phone Stand for phone with popcap / battery case
Description
PDFImproved design from the previous version (v6). This design is v7.
Simple phone stand designed in FreeCAD to accommodate phones with popcaps and / or battery cases. Designed with iPhone 7/8/SE in mind in a slim battery case, both with and without a popcap. Should fit most phones. Your mileage may vary.
Tested in portrait and landscape - popcaps were more or less centered. Also used with 9.7-inch iPad 4 (in portrait only). IF using with iPad, be careful not to topple.
Phones may slide around a bit because the "hook" is large to accommodate phone+battery case.
Channel on underside of feet is for glue-stick glue - for grip / non-slide.

Notes:
I used Cura 4.7.1 using "Tree" supports with a skirt. Extruder at 205 and bed at 65 running at 100 mm/s on the FLSUN QQ-s.
This is the 7th iteration to accommodate placement of popcaps and provide for a relatively short print time. I print these in just under an hour.Post-Printing
For non-slip feature, use hot glue
All I did was squirt a bead of hot glue into the channel and then use a knife blade to press flat and shmoosh the hot glue into the channel.
I put a very light coat of non-stick spray (just barely any) and spread it over knife face. I shmoosh the hot glue and hold the knife until the glue cools a bit, then the knife easily comes off and leaves the glue in the channel.
The channel is supposed to keep the hot glue from peeling off - YMMV.
Another option is Sugru or some other mouldable, rubbery substance.
