adjustable-angle tablet-stand 3d printing 3D 打印模型

please see latest update below!

this is my design for a print-as-one (print-in-place) hinged tablet stand that can be adjusted over a wide range of incline angles. i was looking around on thingiverse for something of this nature but could only find adjustable ones that need screws and nuts to assemble, or some other post-print assembly. i thought there must be a better way!

this will work straight off the print bed. just peel away the brim and very carefully loosen the hinges and you're good to go. i've been using it with a large 9.7" galaxy tab s2 with a case on and it supports it nicely and feels very stable.

when you first unfold it, the inner two parts have to swing all the way round the outer base piece so that it brings the supports on to the top side of the base where the position notches are located. then to put it away flat, just rotate all the way round to the back again.

there may well be a few improvements that could be made to the design, but i would welcome any comments and suggestions! at the moment, the supports are spaced a little too wide to use for my samsung galaxy s5 smartphone, so i have considered maybe a smaller version to accommodate phones as well. not sure if the narrower design would become unstable for large tablets though.
