Instructions

Print

mountbase_vanmoof_s2_s3.stl

• print with pause at height of 2.6mm, insert 4 neodym disc magnets in the same orientation

magnetalignment_tool.stl

• quickly printable reference ring to align the magnets of all parts in the same direction during print
• print with pause at height of 2.6mm to insert 4 disc magnets in the same orientation.
• use this tool later to align all magnets added to later prints

cradle_pixel3a.stl

• print with pauses at height of 2.5 mm and 6.5mm to insert 7 neodym disc magnets into the print, use your magnet alignment tool to keep them oriented properly.

cradle_pixel3a_topcover.stl

• print with pause at height of 2.5mm and insert 3 magnets aligned to match the 3 magnets in the top of the cradle_pixel3a.stl.

You'll need

• 1x M3 locknut
• 3x Screw M3x10
• 18x Neodymium Disc Magnets 5-6mm(14x if you don't use the alignment tool)
• 3x cable ties 3mm wide

Assembly

mountbase_vanmoof_s2_s3

• (insert the magnets during printing, as described above)
• insert the locknut in the bottom of the mountbase_vanmoof_s2_s3
• insert the cableties into the channels in the bottom of the mountbase and fix it to the handlebar of your S2/S3

cradle_pixel3a

• fix the cradle_bottom part to the phone cradle using 2 M3x10 screws
• use the M3x10 screw to fix the phone-cradle to the mountbase
• don't tighten the screw too much, it should still allow the cradle to rotate to landscape and portal orientation, with the included magnets keeping the cradle positioned after rotating

Use

• Insert your phone into the lower part and keep it in place by attaching the cradle_topcover to the magnets on the upper side of the cradle.

Designing your own phone cradle

Designing your own phone cradle to fit the mounting base is pretty easy.

All you need to do, to be compatible with the base is:

• place a M3 countersunk hole in the (gravitational)center of your cradle
• design 4 pockets for neodymium magnets with approx. 6mm diameter spaced in a circular arrangement 20mm from the central hole. (see below)

Cradles are currently available for the following phones:

• Google Pixel 3A
• Apple iPhone X
