Universal phone dashboard for SimuCube 2 and VRS DFP bases

Simply use your phone as a dashboard for sim-racing with apps like Sim Dashboard or SimHub. Phones usually have a far higher display-resolution than the typical purpose build dashboard-displays that come with 800x400 pixel. With Sim Dashboard for example you don't even need a physical connection to your PC because it runs over WIFI.

This dashboard-phone holder is designed to be easily attach- and detachable because I don't want my dashboard blocking parts of the display in other games or while doing something else on my PC. Simply screw in the TPU-brackets in the top M8-holes of your base with the opening looking straight up. Squeeze your phone in the right orientation and fix it with the screw on the back and plug it into the brackets. The fit should be tight enough for motion-systems, but still easy to remove within a second. Read the description in one of the images.

I recommend using a 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.15 to 0.2 mm layerheight. Use auto-orientation for all parts, just the bottom-part needs support. Print the brackets out of TPU A95 or harder with 6+ walls and high infill. There are four versions for different distances between phone and base. Add another 26 mm for the total distance. For example the 30 mm extension is in 56 mm long in total, which is about the maximum for the typical SimuCube-2-QR. Print the TPU-bed with only 2 walls and low infill because it should flex a little to grip the phone. Superglue the rubber-bed to the bottom-part of the holder.

The bottom-part comes in two versions. One (recommended) for M4 threaded insert (4-5 mm length) and one with a smaller hole for screwing the thread into the plastic itself (PETG recommended for that). The threaded insert needs to be melted into the hole with a soldering iron from the backside. When I was searching for inserts, you get them in different lengths, but the diameter for the same M-size seems similar enough and the hole is 5.7 mm in diameter.

You need:
2x M8 25 mm screws for SimuCube 2 bases or 30 mm screws for Simucube and VRS-bases because they don't have threaded holes and need additional nuts at the backside as well.
1x M4, 10 mm
Threaded insert for M4, 4-5 mm lenght
Superglue
TPU A95-A97 + a non-flexing filament (PETG, PLA, ASA, ABS or similar)
Sandpaper in case the bottom and top-part fit is too tight.
