After talking with my family, I decided that I wanted to make an adjustable phone stand. After looking on different websites, I first found a flat-folding phone stand on Thingiverse, as shown below on the left picture. However, I did not like the design, as it not only had too many parts but also reminded me of my dad's old iPhone 4 phone case, a phone case I did not particularly enjoy. When I scrolled down, I saw another phone stand similar to it– the "Foldable Tablet/Phone Stand." After seeing this, I knew I wanted to make it. It seemed possible for me to make, and I really liked the way it seemed almost like an art easel. I then downloaded the parts onto Fusion 360 in order to inspect each part of the phone stand easily, and I was now ready to start designing and making the stand.

Making this phone stand was rather difficult, especially as I was new with Fusion. After making the base however, I got the feel of how the software worked. For each part of the object, I started with a sketch on the YZ plane and extruded whatever was needed. These sketches mirrored the side views I had drawn on paper. I Afterwards, I made a rectangular sketch on the XY plane and extruded downwards until the bottom of the extruded object, cutting out any parts of the object I did not need. I then added the knobs on the hook part of the phone stand by sketching out circles and extruding them. Finally, I filleted everything except for the circular parts on the base of the phone stand.

For each part of the phone stand, I printed it on a low speed setting with a brim and support; each part took around 2 hours. After each part printed, I used tweezers to snap off the brim, and I used sand paper for any uneven sharp edges. For the support, I first used a drill bit to drill out most of the support, but then later realized I could use tweezers to squeeze it out. The process took a little while, but in the end, each part fit well with each other, and according to the measurements that I had planned.
