Phone Stand - Henchel-Santillan/solid-parts GitHub Wiki

This project was inspired by a similar project completed as coursework for first-year engineering graphics and design. Vernier calipers were used to take measurements of my personal phone by hand. These measurements were then used to generate freehand sketches for viable phone stands upon developing a list of constraints and criteria.

From the sketches, solid models (Parts) were created using SolidWorks 2020. A four-part solid assembly, the stand was made detachable with a cap-and-hinge mechanism for a 45-degree tilt and for ease of disassembly and 3D printing.

GrabCAD Print was used to assess model material and support material consumption when arranged nominally on a tray, under the following settings:

Printer: Fortus 360mc Large

Tray Settings

• Model Material: ABS M30
• Slice Height: 0.0130 in | T20
• Support Material: SR30
• Support Tip: T12SR30

Model Settings

• Body > Infill Type > Sparse

Support Settings

• Support Style: SMART
• Use Model Material

Arrange: Optimize, Model Spacing > 0.5 in

Centre of mass (COM) and overall volume were also evaluated to determine design robustness and boxing dimensions for packaging.
