Smart Office Phone Stand

My project, Smart Office Phone Stand, inspired by the design of Smart Office Bridge, is a smartphone stand 3D printed in PLA with colored side finishes and an NFC slot with a screw cap. This stand allows for easy contact data storage by simply bringing an NFC-enabled device close to the base, eliminating the need to manually input information.

Smart Office Phone Stand also features a cable pass-through with cable clamps in the base structure, enabling you to neatly secure your smartphone's USB-C charging cable. Furthermore, it includes two pass-through holes to anchor the charging cable head, ensuring convenient device charging. The housing dimensions of Smart Office Phone Stand measure 80mm in width, 14mm in depth, and 162mm in height, making it compatible with most smartphones available on the market.

Regarding the printing process, it is advisable to use PLA+ material and import all parts into your slicing software. Place the cap horizontally on the print bed and print the body with one of the two sides with the finish facing the print bed. You can also divide the body into parts and customize the colors to your liking. Use a 0.4mm nozzle, with a layer thickness of 0.1/0.2mm, and a 10% infill in a rectilinear pattern. If your print bed is properly leveled, you won't need to use a brim for this project. Supports are not required.

Finally, to complete the product, you will need an NFC tag (e.g., N215) to be placed in the designated slot after programming it with your smartphone and using an application to store data on NFC tags.
