Chain Link Fence Phone Fence

Hot summer afternoons at the diamond kept ending my streams early — direct sun on a phone that's already working hard encoding video means thermal shutdown before the last inning. This is the fix: a simple hood that keeps the sun off the phone and off the back of the case.

Slots are included on the top and bottom faces for a bungee or zip tie so you can strap it to the chain-link. Most days the top one alone is enough; windy days I use both. Add a strip of adhesive foam on the fence-side face if you want it to sit quieter and not chew on the galvanizing.

Printing

• PETG or ASA. Not PLA. This part lives in direct sun on 30°C days, which is exactly how you end up with a drooping hood and a phone shutting down from the heat.

• White is the recommendation — it reflects instead of soaking up heat, so the shade itself isn't radiating warmth back down onto the phone.

• 3 walls, 15% infill, no supports needed in the orientation as designed.

Notes

• Fits a generic phone, but probably not an iPhone max or something of that size.  

• The pole clamp is awesome, I highly suggest it.  I was able to get it from Amazon here: https://a.co/d/0eEkZ5UA.

• An optional fan can be clipped onto the top of the unit to help if needed, but I didnt use it either weekend I tested it. https://a.co/d/03SbNf2v
