Normal stand, allows you to keep the mobile only in horizontal or vertical orientations, but when we stand, sleep, or relaxing in sofa, these orientations doesn't help. This omni directional stand helps you to tilt the mobile and position it according to your need. I am just a beginner, learnt 3D Max and designed this in 2 days.. Hence the lack of professional look, but hope you would enjoy the 360 turning view of your mobile at your desk *Texture has been applied to provide grip in rotation, if the texture doesnt work in 3d printer, a silicon/cloth on the stand would help to hold the grip.
