ROJECT PRESENTATION
This project is a tube clamp allowing to maintain a phone in all possible positions thanks to a ball joint on a bike, a motorcycle, a quad bike, or any tube !
The assembly is done without any screws, which however does not affect its robustness.
The goal for me is to create other supports that can accommodate this ball joint for other applications, such as in a car, for a camera stand, etc…

Notes:
About PLA:
PLA may be brittle when the mount is installed, which requires a slight deformation of the part, especially for large diameters. Unless you have a very deformable PLA, I would not recommend its use for this part.
Moreover, PLA is less suitable for outdoor use than PETG or ABS.
About the model
Which files should I use?
In the .zip folders, which you will have to unzip, you will find all the parts with different diameters.
You will need to take a nut and a frame.
If this is the first time you print the phone holder, choose in the folder Frame R which has a step to the right for the mounting of the ball joint.
If you have already printed the phone holder from Tripod Phone Stand (no screw!), you will probably need a left step for mounting the ball joint. Then choose your frame in Frame L.
The parts are already well oriented for easy printing.
Available Tube diameter
With this model, you can access mount from 18mm diameter to 100mm diameter.
If you encounter any problem with a particular diameter, do not hesitate to leave me a message so that I can help you.
Also, if the diameter you are looking for is not available, please let me know. Keep in mind, however, that due to their deformability, it is possible to use the size above or below for .5 diameters.
Compatible phones
The maximum supported phone width is 80mm, and the minimum is 50mm.
This covers 99% of the telephones on the market. Width is usually between 70 and 75mm.
The maximum thickness is 10mm.
Not suitable for a tablet
Assembly instructions
For the tube clamp
Clamp the Frame on the tube
Use the nut to tighten the Frame on the tube
For the phone mount
The screw of the ball joint must be passed through the ball of the ball joint before screwing the ball on the Phone arm. A little of glue may be necessary to prevent the screw from loosening over time.
Insert the phone clamp on the arm and use the tightening screw to tighten
