You want to use your iPhone as a HD-Camera for skiing instead of buying an expensive one?

Have an iPad or iPad 2? Or perhaps a tablet PC that you love to carry around but lack the hardware to keep it upright when surfing the web or reading an e-book? Look no further! This elegantly designed tablet stand is the ideal solution.

The simplicity of its design gains inspiration from three identically-sized spheres that encircle a central sphere to produce a sturdy stand. The material is made out of durable ivory-gloss polyurethane with soft rubber protrusions that act as "grips" to keep your iPad or tablet PC in place.

The set comes with two sphericals that can be positioned anywhere on the tablet's base in either the vertical or horizontal position, whichever best suites your needs.

This is a boat on wich one you can use your iPod/iPhone dock and use your remote with!!

I've print it with a stratasys and then paint!!

Here's my first real thing designed with OpenJsCad! An iPhone4 dock. Fully parametric. Haven't yet tried to print it so I'm not sure if it will actually fit.

OpenJsCad is a free open source Javascript alternative for OpenSCAD. Give it a try!

See joostn.github.com/OpenJsCad

My first thing! It's a mount to attach an iPhone 4 to your MakerBot so you can shoot timelapses or stream video to remotely monitor builds.

* iPhone 4 or 4S compatible.
* Thing-O-Matic compatible (and probably Replicator and others)
* Snug enough to mount horizontally
* Slot for an iPhone cable

Make sure it doesn't obstruct the build platform!

Solid iPhone 4 or 4S stand. The stand can be modified easily in length, width and thickness.

The backside is based on some Maya design. It can easily exchnaged by some other design by replacing a dxf that is used in the OpenSCAD file.

It's more a proof-of-concept I made for a friend (I don't even have an iPhone ;-)) The PLA print broke quite fast.

My phone lives in a case that's rather bulky. This helps keep it alive when I drop it now and then:O)

However it does not fit so well into bespoke stands. So I made a stand that accepts the phone in it’s fat case.

Behold the “fat case phone-stand”

It’s for a Galaxy S2 in an Otter case.

This is a parametric design using openSCAD. The stand works for both orientations of the phone.

This is an improved phone holder. Its made to allow for the outlet above it to be used while the phone holder is plugged in. It also does not require to be bent after making it. It is designed for an Apple iPhone charger.

I really shouldn’t have a problem filming things with my iPhone without getting fingers in the way of the lens, but it happens. I’ve also noticed that it’s easy to accidentally rub the microphone and mess up the audio during recording. Because I have a couple holiday concerts coming up that I’ve been asked to record I thought it would be worth figuring out a better way to tackle this problem.

I started with my iPhone Tripod attachment and added the new features I was looking for. First I modeled a handle long enough to hold comfortable, but short enough to carry in your pocket. Then I removed the tripod nut hole and added a slot for the handle to slide into. I also added a slot in the handle and a tab on the camera mount so the two parts slide together for easy transport in your pocket or bag.

A friction-fit cap for the bottom of the iPhone 4 that allows a stethoscope to be attached and recorded using the built-in microphones.

As the sound passes through the rubber stethoscope tubing, it is split into two chambers (seen in the rendering image) and funneled directly to the mics at the bottom of the phone.

A quick test recording can be heard here:

This is an iphone 4/4s holder designed to fit most standard cases. Specifically designed around the SPECK PIXEL HD case. there is pass through allowing the Apple 30 pin connector to be threaded through.

Ultimately, I would love to design something similar based around a 90 degree 30 pin passthrough connector.

This is a variation of thingiverse.com/thing:9459. It is an awesome design and I printed it for my iPad. I wanted one that I could put my iPhone 4 in when it was dark so I added some walls on the end to help me line it up. Thanks to Pointedstick for your awesome design!!! It works great!

Lady Gaga approved.

Fit a Micro-Sim card into a Mini-Sim card slot. For example, use the Micro-Sim card in the iPhone 4, or iPad, in older iPhones which use Mini-Sim cards.

A holder for the USB cable used with an Apple A/C - USB adapter, at least for the bulkier style connectors.

For a holder for the slimmer, smaller connector go to thingiverse.com/thing:13718

I designed this to hold my iPhone4 with a Speck Candyshell case in the car when using it as a GPS. I wanted a mount that could work in any car, so the lighter socket was an obvious choice. It also eliminates the need to carry a separate charger and cable. It holds the phone quite firmly without blocking access to any of the connectors, switches or buttons on the phone.

All of the SCAD files are included, so it shouldn't be hard to adapt the design to different phone cases, or for no case at all.

NOTE: The design calls for a switching regulator available from Gravitech. While this part is a pin-compatible replacement for the LM7805, it is a switching regulator and this is very important. The iPhone can draw up to 1A, and the 7805 linear regulator would be dissipating close to 8W, so it is important to use a switching regulator.

This is a fairly detailed model of an iPhone 4 GSM according to case design specification from apple.com

I'm new to openscad, so surely a few hundred things could be done better, and I'm willing to learn so I welcome any feedback.

This utilizes the roundedRect function (with modifications) - thingiverse.com/thing:9347 - by WilliamAAdams.

The model inserted into an openscad iphone dock - thingiverse.com/thing:10270 - by jag is shown in one of the images. This shows how you use the model to see if you block any of the phone's features with your design.

Planned improvements:
- setting the color as parameter - to be fixed. Current color RGB[.4,.4,.4] - the 3 screen shots were done before the color was set, so they are the default yellow - DONE
- Getting suggestions and acting on them... :)

Universal Smart Phone and Tablet Stand

Our new baby- Rose. Digitized with Trimensional on the iPhone and a little smoothing in Meshlab.

We wanted to archive this moment in life in all three glorious dimensions. We are sharing the stl, so please play nice! :)

Perhaps I should tag as Work in Progress ?...

A small Iphone holder inspired by the crowdfunded "glif" and thingiverse.com/thing:11609

When I printed the original, the plastic was a bit weak at the clip. I added a eye loop hole for support.

Let me know how this one works!

Over the weekend I stumbled upon this awesome Instructable by jtsubota "iPhone 4 Tripod Mount".
instructables.com/id/iPhone-4-Tripod-Mount-1/

The parts list was short and I decided to try to pick up all the required parts after work Monday night. Unfortunately for me, my local hardware store was missing a handful of the (already short) parts list. I almost gave up and was prepared to head home empty handed when I realized I could easily modify the project using my Makerbot and make this work with what I was able to find.

Here is the parts list:
1/4 inch hex nuts
30mm suction cups

Rather than secure all the parts in place using screws like jtsubota did I modeled everything to press fit in place. The nut fits in very snuggly and the suction cups snap into place with a firm push. Once everything is attached it feels really solid. So much so that I can shake my phone by the tripod mount without fear of it disconnecting.

If my calculations are correct, I believe the cost of this project breaks down like this:

1x 1/4" nut $0.40
2x 30mm suction cups $0.59 each
~$0.50 woth of Makerbot plastic.
 
Right around $2 for a really solid tripod mount ready to be printed on demand. Not bad at all!

If you'd like to see more pictures of the project I've included a few more in my blog post here:

A small Iphone holder inspired by the crowdfunded "glif".

I have a (now discontinued) Griffin Technology TuneFlex Aux. This was a nice mount for iphones and ipods in that it came with a bunch of attachable adapters that would make your iphone, ipod, whanot, fit.

However, they had no such mount for an iphone4 (and indeed this device is no longer available from griffin.)

Instead of buying the latest and greatest they had I decided to just design and print an adapter that would fit and that would hold my iphone 4 nicel.

I modified/printed this for my sister in-law who has an Iphone 3G with a case.

The opening has been enlarged.
The Cap has been made one piece instead of two.
The opening for the plug allows the plug to come all the way through to work with the case.

A Samsung Galaxy fits in the slot as well. It just can't be used as a dock because the port is on the top of the Galaxy.

A friend of mine wanted something to plug the headphone port on his iphone since it gets used in a very dirty environment and he doesn't use the headhpone port that often. So I modeled up this dummy plug which I modeled off of a 3.5mm TRS(3 pin) Male ipod headphone connector.

I tested this in my iphone, ipod, and computer headphone jacks and it worked in all of them.

Due to their small size it would be a good idea to print multiples of these at one time to give each a chance to cool more before the next layer is added. I was able to print these without using a raft and used the multiple function in skeinforge to print 6-8 out at a time.

This is a redesign of my iPhone 4 wall mount dock in opens cad. I needed to make it fit a slightly thicker case and didn't want to boot into windows to mess with the old Alibre file...

I also used my dovetail modules ( thingiverse.com/thing:10269 ) to make versions that have dovetails so that they can join together for if you have more than one iPhone 4 in your family.

The dovetails aren't terribly sturdy since they are rather small but I mostly wanted them to stop the docks from pivoting without having to add another screw to them.

This a custom designed iPhone/iPod/apple device holder with the capability for docking - designed for docking with this cable specification:
store.apple.com/uk/product/MA591G/B?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MTA4MjUwMzg

The apple device docking holder was designed for Will Arnold MEng, of the Will Arnold Project:
myspace.com/thewillarnoldproject

The purpose of the device was to provide something for Will to position his iPhone in the upright position so he could easily change music he was listening to at work, while also being charged at the same time.
