I just found, printed, and tested this, both the latest version as well as the tablet-mode version. The regular version works perfectly! I only got my P9PF yesterday and the case hasn't arrived for it yet (Pitaka aramid fiber case with built-in Magsafe), so I can't confirm whether or not it works with that case, but it's an ultra-thin case and there's plenty of space left around the spacer, so I am confident it will fit.

The tablet-mode one kind of works. Since the device is so thin in tablet mode, it is too far from the lip for the lip to hold it steady and in contact with the charger. However, even when using my hand to hold it in contact when in tablet mode, though it does charge as expected, the P9PF doesn't engage the "Pixel Stand mode" features, such as photo frame, smart home controls, media controls (if media is playing), etc. So that's a bummer, and of course no criticism to this design, just an FYI for anyone else reading this.

Thanks so much for this awesome and useful print, Hydra! ^_^

Update: Just got my Pitaka case and tested it with this spacer, works perfectly! Just in case anyone else has or wants this case and was wondering. (edited)

Nice work, it's a great spacer. The only thing that I think needs to be perfected is the height. I think the phone can go down a bit lower, which also allows the Pixel Buds to be charged wirelessly too.

I have uploaded some new revisions to better align the phone and stand.

I have also created a tablet mode version, but I haven't tested it out yet.

Works great! Anyone able to remix a bit so it has a more positive attachment to the stand?

talk about just in time... got my fold, searched here, bang! Work perfectly.

I would love an update to:
- hug the bottom of the charger a bit more so it can stay in place without 2 sided tape or something like that
- a lip to catch the bottom of the phone. The phone tends to slide forward tip back a bit.

Fast print - works as described. Thanks for sharing! :-)

Hint: Use double-sided tape to hold the spacer in place.

It works ( with offical case )

@MrStoneCold_1854887 I think it's printed backwards? Or is the photo flipped?

@skola28 hmm good point, it may go the other way round actually!! (edited)

I have made a new revision which is wide enough for the official case.

you know what's really needed? a spacer and stand that allows the phone to charge in tablet mode..

@diomark_6235 I was thinking about that too, it should be possible.. as long as it remains balanced enough.

@diomark_6235 Uploaded a new version that should be wide enough for the tablet mode, I haven't printed it yet, I will soon.

except.. doesn't work with a case.. makes sense.. oh well.

Got the pixel 9 pro fold today and wanted this for my pixel stand, thank you :) ( Edit -- Works with the offical google case, but not perfect size .. (edited)
