Rotary supports for smartphones up to 8x15 cm

once upon a time… I ate my breakfast and realized that reading or watching media would be better when I’ll prepare support for my phone with ability to fast switching between videos or lists. I’ve prepared three variations of thisthing:

“claws” – minimalistic (requires 2 set screws 5×6 mm to connect swivel halves)
“heavy” – ascetic, thick and rigid
“snake” – thinner and wider than heavy but more stable and with different holes

Parts and quantities:

Claws
Name Qty Printing time (full speed)
Claws 01 Swivel half 1 31m
Claws 02 Swivel half (with holes) 1 30m
Claws 03 Support 1 5h 1m
Claws 04 Handle 1 2h 14m

Heavy
Name Qty Printing time (full speed)
Heavy 01 Swivel 1 40m
Heavy 02 Support (left) 1 6h 34m
Heavy 03 Support (right) 1 6h 32m
Heavy 04 Handle 1 2h 31m

Snake (has the same handle “Heavy”)
Name Qty Printing time (full speed)
Snake 01 Swivel 1 31m
Snake 02 Support (left) 1 5h 34m
Snake 03 Support (right) 1 5h 45m

I’ve uploaded an assembly guide for “Snake” (“Heavy” has the same procedure) and for “Claws” on YT:
