Published material guidance; still check heat, UV, load, and printer compatibility.
A planning starting point only; wall count, orientation, and geometry often matter more than infill.
Choose the needed variant, then slice it for grams, cost, and print time.
Saved setup guidance is used for material, infill, support, and per-file recommendation text; editable numbers are planning estimates only.

Hi! I needed a decent phone holder for my Volkswagen T4 (1997) so I designed / remixed one. Fits a Samsung S10 / S9 perfectly. It is very easy to print. The holder consists of five small parts. The actual holder for the phone can be printed out of TPU, so the phone with a case will fit in better. Part 4 is simply glued to part 3. You need just 3x M4x12mm screws (10mm-15mm will fit). The holes have no threads. Just screw in the M4 screw with some pressure to create a thread. Quantity Prints: 1x Part 1 - Dashboard Cover 2x Part 1.1 - Dashboard Cover Hooks 1x Part 2 - Connector with holes 1x Part 3 - Bracket base plate 1x Part 4 - Smartphone holder (TPU) I printed all parts (except Part 4) from PETG due to heat and UV exposure. ABS would be even better. Maybe PLA+ will do as well. PETG 0.2 Layer 25% Infill Support only for Part 4 I printed all Parts in 4~ Hours with my Flashforge Creator Pro.
