GrabPad 2 is a valiant, yet probably ultimately futile attempt to not drop and break my iPad when I use it around the workshop to take measurements or make sketches while standing up or walking around.

Handling the tablet without any case is fine when sitting down, but on the go, it feels awkward. The GrabPad was an attempt to create a lightweight, multi-purpose case that is easy to put on when needed. I also didn't want to mess with the magnetic Apple Pencil attachment.

I printed the current version in extrudr PLA-NX2 and went for a EVA-01 color scheme, because, yes, I'm a giant elder millenial nerd and I had filament leftovers in those colors, so why not.

Notable Example Print Settings:

Layer Height: 0.20mm (adjust as you see fit)
Supports: On, Auto (for the slots on the left and the right side), plus the charger opening
Infill Pattern: Cubic (use whatever you like, I ran into layer offset issues with 3D patterns like Gyroid)

A couple of notes:

  • This just fits the build plate of a Bambu X1C, with a prime tower. Given the limited color changes in my print, I didn't use a prime tower. If you you use a X1C and you keep flow calibration on, pausing and removing the filament before starting the first layer gets rid of the need to clean up the overlap in the end.
     
  • The fit is snug, intentionally so. So far, I haven't had any issues with inserting/removing the tablet regularly, and it holds the tablet in place firmly even despite some fairly vigorous sharing for test purposes. Either way, adjustments might be needed as I keep using this over time.
     
  • Even though it looks like a handle and can be used like a handle, I designed this to rest between my thumb and index finger. In future iterations, I will probably make both the “handle” and the backplate a bit more sizeable to accommodate folks with bigger hands. It works okay for me.
     
  • The charging slot is sufficiently large for a slim USB-C plug (e.g. Apple's official one), but is probably a millimeter to small for most others. If I get around to clean it up, I'll share the Fusion 360 file. Or you can just use a Dremel or other tool of choise to make ends meet.
