I made a Jolla themed phone presentation stand in preparation for FOSDEM 2026. @flypig was so kind to send a device i forgot last year back to me and i promised to return the favor with a phone presentation stand so their devices look less scattered at the Linux on Mobile table xD
It is released on Printables if you like to print one:
The model is a remix (fork in 3D community speak) of an existing Phone Holder made by E. Soderberg. I personally asked for and got permission to add the Jolla Logo to my remix despite the license the model was issued under excluded commercial use. So we got a side agreement for this special usecase of sharing this model to the community and use at Jolla events.
These will not be for sale. And please do not sell any prints of the model yourself.
You are however strongly invited to print them as gift to your friends and community members.
I will be at the booth and carry the ~10 prototypes i printed during design phase with me and would love to gift these to any of you visiting the booth.
Half of the work was already there by basing on E. Soderberg’s model to be honest. I was procrastinating all year about which holder mechanism to use and printed several “systems”. Its really hard to invent a new one since the topic is already exploited.
This one is super sturdy due to the geared locking system. The print orientation puts all layer lines in perfect orthogonal angle to the expected force. Its genius really and i would have never come up with it myself, ahah.
You can use the phone in any angle without the holder tipping over.
I extended the gears to the other side to make it even more stable against lateral forces and flattened the angle to the maximum so that one can press with excessive force onto the phone when the holder is in lowest 17° angle.
Its now really a specialized convention / trade fair presenter and we can just slamm phones into it and remove them without careing.
Yes, the holder clips are interchangeable. The published 3mf build plate project files contain the 12mm holder clip which suits the C2 with TPU bumper.
On the silver one in the picture are the 10 and 8mm versions that hold phone without bumper tighter.
Yes, both versions, the tall and the smaller stands fit the new Jolla Phone.
This is the tall stand, it needs 2mm TPU spacers so the camera bump does sit flush.
The spacers are supplied in the printables post.
But i would advise to print the small version to safe filament and print time. The tall one does feel a bit heavier and is slightly more resilient to hard presses to the very top of the phone. But the small one doe snot need TPU spacers since the camera bump does not sit on the stand.
you can however print the flat TPU stoppers that keep the phone from sliding in case you used slippery material for the stand.
This is the “best” image i could find of the mockup sitting in the orange small stand
Functionality is Great! I only Need to mention that the Model „Stuck together“ at the gears where it shouldnt ( but maybe a Printer Settings problem )
Yeah, sorry. I am a bit over enthusiastic when it comes to “print in place” margins. With higher margin that gear feels “slack” and has too much play when rotating it into position. I can see from your photo that the print quality is very nice and flow setting should not be the problem. Looks decently calibrated. You could try to print with lower layer height tho. If you look closely at the top hexagon overhangs, the layerlines sagged which is an indicator for too few cooling for that filament.
Lower layer height like 0.15mm or even 0.1mm helps massively to reduce that sagging by increasing the layer overlaps necessary to achieve an overhang.
So yeah, the only thing i likely made different is to print all my stands in 0.15mm height because i anticipated the hard to print <45° overhangs.
