Laser Cut Smart Phone Stand
INTRO: LASER CUT SMART PHONE STAND
STEP 1: measure your phone
First, we need to get some measurements. Here with the detail we only need the height, width and thickness of the phone.
Calipers are very helpful for this kind of measurement. With small objects like this, it’s much easier to work in metric, so I measure my phone in millimeters.
STEP 2: Create Sketch
Step 3: Enter the Dimensions
Now that you have a rectangle, click on the Stop Sketch button. You can drag Shift+Middle Mouse to move the scene around and see the sketch you just made.
Now it’s time to create a solid object to represent the phone- go to Create > Extrude and click on Rectangle Sketch
STEP 4: Extrude rectangle
STEP 5: Fillet corners
Step 6: Status Phone Model
To model a phone stand, you’ll need to figure out which position you want the phone to be in while it’s on the stand. You can do this by rotating and rotating the phone. You can rotate it as you like.
Step 7: Make the Laser Cut Profile
Now that our design is finished, we need to export the profile lines so that we can laser cut them. To do this, go to Sketch > Create Sketch, then click Panel. Rename the sketch in the browser so you can keep track of everything.
Step 8 :-Create a new sketch from the side face of the panel
Step 9 :-Right-click the sketch in the browser, then choose Save as DXF, then save the files to a folder you can easily find later.
Save as DXF for Illustrator Import
Step 10: Laser Cutter Settings
The document size for this project is already 24″X36″, so the size should be set to match. Illustrator Print Dialog This project uses 1/4″ (6mm) plywood, so the speed is half (10%) as fast as the 1/8″ plywood settings from the last two lessons, and for good measure the power is set to 95% is extended to.
Step 11: Finished Products
First cleaning it and , the stand fits the phone properly. This project may work better with a thinner material.

3D printer
The term “3D printing” originally referred to a process that deposited a binder material layer by layer on a powder bed with inkjet printer heads.
printing
Before printing a 3D model from an STL file, it must first be checked for errors. Most CAD applications produce errors in the output STL files
of the following types:
hole
faces the normal
self intersections
noise balls
manifold errors
overhang issues
A step in STL generation known as a “repair” corrects such problems in the original model.
Once complete, the STL file needs to be processed by a piece of software called a “slicer”, which converts the model into a series of thin layers and produces a G-code file containing a specific type 3D Printer (FDM) compliant instructions. printer). This G-code file can then be printed with 3D printing client software (which loads the G-code, and uses it to instruct the 3D printer during the 3D printing process).
Printer resolution describes the layer thickness and X-Y resolution in dots per inch (dpi) or micrometers (μm). Typical layer thicknesses are about 100 µm (250 dpi),
finishing
Although printer-generated resolution is sufficient for many applications, greater accuracy can be achieved by printing a slightly larger sized version of the desired object in standard resolution and then removing the material using a high-resolution subtractive process.
