Makeshop Monday: Phone Stand

So the makeshop has lots of tools that you can use to make things, but the expanse of possibility can be intimidating. One way that you can make something without having to go through the whole design process is to use a tool called Thingiverse. You can find tons design files, which allows you to skip the creation of a computer assisted design (CAD) file part of 3D printing and go straight to the printing part.

Today's design file combines a nautical theme with a useful accessory. 

The octopus phone stand allows you to set your phone (or other device) on a table at a comfortable viewing angle without sacrificing your commitment to pretending we live near an ocean.

Download the file for printing at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:607518 and happy making!

(Mrs. Hickman can help you print your Octopus Phone Stand if this is your first "thing" and you're not sure where to start!)
