Ultimate Tablet Holder

This is the Ultimate Tablet Holder, capable of not only holding tablets and phones, but also being able to carry cords, pens/pencils, and more. The Tablet Holder achieves this by featuring 2 cord holders along with a back pocket.

This guide will show you how to create the design using Fusion 360 and the dimensions are meant to fit the Ultimaker 3. If you have a different printer, the dimensions can either be manually changed in Fusion or scaled using your own printing software.

Each step below will walk you through creating 1 piece of the Tablet Holder at a time. This makes it easy to find the part you want.

I am currently attending Golden Sierra High School in California.

Ultimaker 3

Sub Step 1: Sketch a center rectangle on the origin of the bottom plane that is 1.5 in by 8.5 in and extrude it by .5 in.

Sub Step 2: Sketch a rectangle on the top of the new rectangle that is .75 in by 8.5 in and extrude it by 5 in.

Sub Step 3: Rotate the new base of your Tablet Holder back by 7 degrees.

Sub Step 4: Sketch a rectangle on the top of the bottom rectangle on the opposite of the back wall that is .1 in by 8.5 in and extrude it by .2 in.

Sub Step 5: Optional: Fillet edges as desired.

The result should look similar to the picture above.

Sub Step 1: Sketch a center rectangle on the back of 5.5 in rectangle that is 3 in by 6 in that is 2 in above the bottom of the rectangle and the same distance from the right side as the left. Extrude by 1.5 in.

Sub Step 2: Sketch a rectangle on top of the new shape and use the colinear constraint to make it even with the edge of your new shape your sketching on, and the back of the Tablet Holder.

Sub Step 3: Use the distance tool (D key) and make your rectangle .15 in away from the 3 other edges. This is done by selecting the edge of your sketch then the edge of the shape your sketching on then setting the distance to .15.

Sub Step 4: Use the cut option on Extrude with your sketch selected to cut a hole that is 2.85 in deep.

Sub Step 5: Optional: Fillet the edges as desired

The result should look similar to the pictures above.

Sub Step 1: Sketch 4 circles .2 in diameter on the back of the Tablet Holder that are .5 in from their respective corner and extrude them by .5 in.

Sub Step 2: Sketch 4 center circles .4 inches in diameter on the back of the newly extruded circles and extrude by .15 in.

Sub Step 3: Optional: Fillet edges as desired.

The result should look similar to the image above.

Sub Step 1: Sketch 2 squares on the bottom of the Tablet Holder base that are .2 in by .2 in, both .25 in from the front and 1.5 in from their respective side. Revolve by 6.75 degrees and extrude by .5 in.

Sub Step 2: Sketch 2 squares on the bottom of the Tablet Holder Pocket that are .2 in by .2 in, both .5 in from the back and .25 in from their respective side. Revolve 7 degrees and extrude by .8 in.

Sub Step 3: Optional: Fillet edges as desired.

The result should look similar to the image above with some minor leg placement discrepancies.

Warning: If a Fillet command was used on the Inside of the pocket, the command will either need to be altered or deleted!

Sub Step 1: Sketch a rectangle that is colinear to the front and back of the inside pocket and .75 in away from your desired side. Rectangle should be .1 in thick, extrude by 2.85 in. (This should make the dividers height just below the walls of the pocket)

Sub Step 2: Optional: Fillet edges as desired.

The result should look similar to the image above.

Sub Step 1: Click on the file icon at the top of the page and select export then hit the dropdown and choose the option that will give you the file in .STL form. Finally select where on your computer you want the file to download to (Downloads folder default)

Sub Step 1: Upload the Tablet Holder onto Cura.

Sub Step 2: The Tablet Holder is too big to print in the Ultimaker 3 in the default print postion, rotate it until it is diagonal and move it back into the center of the print bed so it can be printed.

Sub Step 3: Profiles recommended at .2mm, anything closer than .2mm is not recommended. Infill should be set to either 0 or 10%, it is not recommended to set it higher than 10%. Supports are required.

The Tablet Holder should look similar to the picture above (depending on your printer downscaling may be necessary). Your soon to be new Ultimate Tablet Holder will take approximately 18 hours and 45 minutes.
