Customized Phone Holder for Vent
Hey guys,
I got tired of the cheap vent style docks, so I designed a 3D Printable phone holder for my Pixel XL. The dimensions can be modified to fit any phone before printing. The goal was to create a dock that looked good inside of the car, didn't interfere with controls or vents, and fit snugly. I decided to use the vent, but instead of attaching to the flimsy fins, I attached the dock using the outer shape of the vent. I'm still testing it, but so far I have great results. The phone fits well and doesn't sag or move around while driving. The cord is mostly hidden and is routed through the vent to the arm rest. I have attached the files here in case anyone would like to print them out for themselves. Let me know what you guys think! |

Couple comments. It does look good, but if a phone has a button, it maybe difficult to press it while in the holder. Maybe a bigger gap.
I'm assuming if you sell the units you will offer other logos such as a roundel as that would open up your market. |

Hey guys,
I'm currently creating an iPhone X version and will be posting it in a few days if everything goes right. I can definitely sell them if you want to give me your money and can make custom logos for you guys including the roundel. But essentially, I am giving them away and you can print your own or send it to a company like shapeways to print it for you. |

I'm still working on the iPhone x version. I have created a roundel version with wood filament.

FYI, iPhones do not have a universal horizontal mode, aside from the obsolete 6/7/8 Plus models. So an iPhone dock needs to be vertical.
