Originally the remix of the ingenious Car Vent Gravity Phone Holder by Abdel Darwish that in the version V3 I remodeled from the scratch, keeping the original idea and general outline.
Main changes in V4 (2025-07-26)
Changed parts:
Arm
Sled
Clip
Clip Knob
Sled: Thicker pins that hold the arms (reported breaking in some cases)
Arms: Bigger hole for the pins.
Clip:
The clip profile changed to prevent its jaws from deforming when using for a long time in a hot car
The tip is remodeled for better grip
Clip: Remodeled to accept a screw for plastic (diameter 2.8-2.5mm, length 6-10mm)
Clip Knob: Added a hole for the screw
NOTE: The screw holding the clip to the clip knob is optional, but highly recommended.
Main changes in V3
Remodeled body for tighter tolerances (in previous versions sometimes the front and the back plate would detach)
Clip remodeled for better grip and easier removal from the fins when needed
Tighter Clip + Clip Knob for click-fit
Sled remodeled for a phone to sit better
Arms remodeled for faster print
Main changes in V2
The clip can rotate to adjust to various vent fins
Openings in the body to allow air to pass and cool the phone
UPDATED 2022-09-01: a “hooked” clip with a stronger grip to the ventilation fins and a longer “long” clip, also with a stronger grip. Try and see which one suits you best.
Longer arms to allow access to volume buttons for Huawei, Samsung and iPhone Press the Clip Knob to the Clip - it should snugly fit. It is highly recommended to fix the two with a screw for plastic, diameter 2.8-2.5mm, length 6-10 mm.
Alternatively, fix the two with a tiny drop of superglue. There is no need for the glue if you use a screw.
Do not glue the clip to the body. It must be allowed to rotate.
