SAAB 93NG Smartphone Holder

Phone holder for the saab 93! I have a 2003 93ss, and the plastic bump with four empty screw holes always bothered me, so i decided to create a phone holder to fill the empty space.

I started by making a cardboard mockup in order to get some measurements, i then designed the parts in CATIA v5 and printed them on my university 3d printer.

Notes:

Remember to print two "ArmV" and two "ArmH".

Rafts might not be needed, but it is always good to be on the safe side. It is probably possible to use less infill, depents on what safety margin you want, the print is very strong at 35%. I do not recommend to use PLA, it might melt in the summer!

Post-Printing

Additional hardware (See exploded view)

You will need 4 self tapping screws for securing the baseplate ("bottenplatta") to the phone console. The holes are 4mm in diamater with a 0.5 x 45 deg chamfer. I recommend using screws with a thread length of 15 mm.

For securing the holder to the baseplate, i recommend a M4 or M5 bolt and nut along with appropriate washers. Thread length of bolt should not be less than 25mm. Diameter of hole is 5mm.

Additionally, 8 M3 bolts and nuts are needed. I recommend using bolts with thread length of 15mm. Max screw head height is 3mm, max head diameter is 6mm. For the nuts, try to find those who follow DIN 934 standard. https://www.fasteners.eu/standards/DIN/934/

The nuts will need to be pressed in. A good way is simply to thread the bolt into the hole and hold the nut while turning the bolt. The nut will then be pressed into place. Repeat 7 more times.

How I Designed This

Will this work for you?

This phone holder is designed for the saabs with the telephone "bump" on the passenger side of center console. If you have one, you are in luck! See second picture.

How adjusment works

The four arms are held in place by friction. The clamping force of the two halves "Hallarenedre" and "Hallareovre" keeps the arms from moving. To adjust the width of the arms, simply loosen the bolts and slide the arms to fit your phone. Minimum phone width is roughly 65mm. Maximum phone width is around 90 mm. Maximum phone thickness is somewhere around 15mm.
