Just a simple and (in my opinion) sleek phone stand. Link for anyone interested: printables.com/model/1251408-simple-static-phone-stand

That looks really nice and elegantly simple. If I could make a suggestion though, you might want to raise the phone cradle up a bit and put a slot in the bottom so it can charge while on the stand.

I honestly never thought of that, maybe in a future model at some point. I rarely ever charge my phone on the stand, and only when it's horizontal. But I am glad for the feedback!

I only thought of it because I bought a little stand for my phone a couple years ago and it has one, but fair enough!

Any constructive criticism is welcome and all my models allow remixes, so feel free to modify if you are so inclined.

Couple days late, but I just remembered this post and dug it back up to make a suggestion if you (or anyone else) decide to remix it with the charging slot, to help retain the model's excellent printability.

Cutting a squared notch will create a steep overhang that will be difficult to print. But, if you instead cut a large circular hole through the bottom center, it will create a shallow taper that will be easier to accomplish, it will also cut down on filament usage 😃
