This is my take on the well known and loved phone stand with hexagon pattern.

I fixed some things about it i did not quite like that much, the changes i made are as follows:

  1. One continous patch of hexagon-pattern runnig round the whole part
  2. Pattern is centered on the part
  3. Pattern is offset to the main structural part to make the part visually more interesting
  4. Charging port is designed to print without supports, just like the rest of the model
  5. Thicker struts dividing the hexagons, making for an easier print and, in my opinion, for a better look
  6. Rounded off the corners of the frame around the pattern, making the pattern look more integrated
  7. Added chamfers to the edges of the part to make it look more pleasing


I noticed that i designed it in a way that makes the parts able to be arranged in a pretty dense layout, thats why I also included files with some parts pre-nested to make work a bit easier for you in case you need to print them in bulk.

Overall this file can easily be printed without any supports, the only problem you might run into could be the bed-adhesion, since, because of the chamfered edges, the contact surface is rather small. For now I would just recommend to add a brim, but if it becomes a common problem I might add a chamferless version, so make sure to let me know in the comments / makes if you had any difficulties printing this.

Have fun printing!
