Description

SummaryCustomisable holder for tablet & phone, by putting into CD slot of Ford Fiesta 2008-2016 or Ford Ecosport 2013-2016. This thing has 3 parts: 1 base and 2 ends (2 ends are identical). Select "Base" or "End" to generate the STL file for the base part or the end part. After printing, plug the ends on the base, so that your tablet or phone can fit into this thing. Then put it into the CD slot. Both the base and the end can be customised. You can download the pre-defined base and end STL files. There is one pre-defined base, and 3 types of pre-defined ends, all can be plugged on the pre-defined base. One pre-defined end is for device thickness of 8mm (called EndT8.stl), the other is for device thickness 9mm (EndT9.stl), and one other is for device thickness 10mm (EndT10.stl). If you customise the base and the end, to suit your device, be sure to use the same values of BaseWidth, BaseThickness, BaseHeight for both the base and the end, so that they can be plugged into each other. If you still find problem fitting the ends to the base, change the Tolerance. For example, if the fitting is too tight, then increase Tolerance a bit. If the fitting is too lose, reduce the Tolerance a bit. Tolerance can take negative value. If the base is too high for your device, and covers some viewable screen area, there are 2 ways to overcome: reducing the BaseHeight or increasing the EndSpacer. A third way is not changing any parameter, but adding an external spacer from your own disposal, such as a rubber/cloth inner cover inside the base. Reducing BaseHeight can also unblock view to the car information screen (especially when using this thing with small tablet or phone). Set EndSpacer to zero if you do not want to have any spacer. This thing can be easily pulled out from the CD slot if needed. WARNING: when you put this thing into the CD slot, if there is a CD inside, you can still play the CD, the thing will not tough the CD, however, DO NOT eject the CD (ejected CD will be jammed into this thing). If the base exceeds the height of your printer, you can cut it into 2 halves, to print them separately, and assemble them as shown in the last photo. I prefer a printer with printing height 30cm or more (probably a delta one) to print the base in one piece (for large tablet, such as 9.7 inch IPad). Car interior, under the Sun, could be very hot, so it is better to use material that can withstand high temperature. ABS is more preferable than PLA.Print SettingsPrinter: Delta typeRafts: Doesn't MatterSupports: NoResolution: 0.3mm layerInfill: 20%Notes: ABS is better than PLA
