In theory, with parametric design (eg OpenSCAD, Autodesk Inventor, etc) a model could allow you to enter the phone dimensions and it automatically re-calculates the correct geometry.

In practice, experience says doing this (in a robust way) is a lot harder than it sounds. ;)

Thanks, very nice design and write-up.

It's not really that much harder, as long as you know which dimensions you want to be variable from the start. Going back and changing everything after the fact is a massive pain.

I’ve started to put something together in OpenSCAD: https://u.ale.sh/braunscadv1.png

I’ll share the source once it’s a bit less painful to look at (right now everything is a bunch of copy-pasted spaghetti code :')

I am extremely interested in this. I’ve got a new iPhone 16 and I’d love to use it in its case with this stand.

I wonder if there's a version that's more of a shelf so could accommodate (m)any sized phones and with/without cases?
