I have always wanted a small “Pocket iPhone / Smartphone Tilt Stand” that I could carry with me in a pocket, or leave laying around at home or at work on a table or counter, so it would always be available whenever I sit down to use my Smartphone. The Stand needed to be small enough and light enough to carry easily in my pocket or my wife’s purse so as to always be available wherever we are.
With these goals in mind, I created this small “Pocket iPhone / Smartphone Tilt Stand”, which works with most tablets, as well. This model also scales easily. I print it at 100% for most Smartphones; at 150% for small tablets; and at 200% for larger tablets. They print quickly and require very little post-print finishing. I print mine in PLA, but I think ABS might produce an even better model.
Since they print quickly, and are so useful, you may want to print extras to give to friends and family as small gifts. I printed mine in Black, but my wife likes the Light Blue and light Yellow ones I printed for her.
I print these using the following settings: Resolution=”Standard”; InfIll=20%; Shells=4; Layer Height=0.15mm; Raft=On. They all turn out well, and require only a tiny bit of post-print finishing on the “bottom" end (as printed).
Have Fun printing and using one or more of these small Tilt Stands, and let me know of any improvements I should consider.

I printed my versions on a MakerBot Replicator 5th Gen printer with settings as follows: Resolution=Standard; InfIll=20%; Shells=4; Layer Height=0.15mm; Raft=On. They all turned out very well, and require only a tiny bit of post-print finishing on the “bottom" end (as printed). Use your Slicer's "Scaling" capabilities to make the stands longer, wider, or taller to suit your needs or preferences. I print mine at 100% for most Smartphones; at 150% for small tablets; and at 200% for larger tablets. I considered adding a non-slip bottom to the stands, but I find that my phone cases provide enough friction, and that leaving them as-printed in PLA allows them to slide easily on a table and adds to their utility for my uses. I have a silicone case on my iPhone, so the stands 'cling' to the iPhone while sliding easily with the phone as it is moved slightly on the table. My wife’s iPhone with a leather case also works well. Your mileage may vary. Suggestions are welcome. -mike-
