This document describes the design and 3D printing of an adjustable smartphone holder. It includes the following:
- Design of the holder parts in CATIA V5 software, including a rack and pinion mechanism and fitting joints.
- 3D printing of prototypes and final parts using a fused deposition modeling (FDM) printer with PLA material.
- Analysis of difficulties in printing different parts and solutions adopted.
- Assembly and evaluation of the final 3D printed smartphone holder, finding its performance to be similar to commercially available holders.
