Love FreeCAD! I redesigned my phone/tablet stand last night to print without support material. The nice big hole is there to make it possible to plug the device in, assuming the connector is small enough and central. A small challenge in this project and a change in my usual design thinking was the creation of something you can’t see - the object used to cut the hole.

The print has been running since 08:45, just a few minutes from finishing.

I’d print it positioned on its side, not the way shown in the picture.

The STL prints on it’s side, as you’ll see in the Youmagine preview.
