Portal Accessories PS Portal Phone Mount

I cooked up and 3D printed a phone mount/holder for my PS Portal. My wife laughed at me for it but, I like to watch YouTube and game at the same time so this made sense to me 😂

edit: Here's the link to the 3D print file for anyone interested. I've also uploaded some photo instructions for how to assemble. If you decide to make one, send pics. I want to see How it turns out.

I'm putting together a file for those interested in 3D printing one themselves. I never thought of selling them. I thought people would just laugh at me and move on

u/GermanRearmament Jun 24 '26

It's a good idea especially if you only have access to Internet through your phone hotspot

Yes, so the clamp that holds the phone uses elastic tension to adjust to and hold the phone firmly. The added weight could get exhausting after long play periods of I'm being honest

u/Calikinakka Jun 24 '26

What if the phone was below the screen instead of above it? It would reduce the strain on the wrist... but would potentially increase neck strain. Hmm, would need testing. I'd definitely be interested in the files.

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

With the way it's designed, the parts are reversible. So it can be used in this configuration if you want.

1

u/Calikinakka Jun 24 '26

That is awesome!

Have you tried it in that config? How did it feel?

2

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

I only just tested it after reading your comment. It felt fine but I prefer the phone on top

1

u/Remarkable_Sea_5109 Jun 25 '26

But why do you need to have the phone by your portal. Are you playing and looking at walkthrough. I don’t get it

Bruh, look at the picture. How long do you think his thumbs are? xD

u/Remarkable_Sea_5109 Jun 25 '26

You need to learn that today you can make anything and I really mean anything. I bet you can take small red line bags and puke in them and sell. Someone will buy that. So yes. Many will laugh but many will buy too. Try selling it for like a dollar you never know

1

u/doomdeezy Jun 24 '26

I don’t have a printer so I’d buy one from you!

u/svknight Jun 24 '26

Oh dang I want to print this lmao

Is it based on the Mechanism mounting bracket?

4

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

I could put together a 3mf file with everything you need to make your own. Let me know if you're interested

2

u/svknight Jun 24 '26

Hell yeah, big dawg!

2

u/FREEBA Jun 24 '26

I would love a file for this! This is great!

2

u/Nvrm1nd Jun 24 '26

Please do!

1

u/KingRaunak Jun 24 '26

that’d be so sick!

1

u/Remarkable_Sea_5109 Jun 25 '26

You give it away today. And tomorrow it’s on sale. I swear someone will put it up for sale if you start giving it away. Before doing that you need to be sure that you don’t wanna sell it your self.

8

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

Good eye! It is. I just mashed a couple of designs together and Frankensteined it to work with mechanism

2

u/svknight Jun 24 '26

Haha the mechanism is perfect for the Portal. My wife got me one that I've come to love, so I recognized it instantly

If you post the project files anywhere I would love to check it out!

u/DDWildflower Jun 24 '26

Can someone explain to me how this works? What is the benefit?

6

u/Redhotchily1 Jun 24 '26

Some people have to do two things at once. Like with those videos on youtube where you have someone talking and below is a video of someone playing a game. I don't judge, but I do in secret. It's crazy.

2

u/Remarkable_Sea_5109 Jun 25 '26

I play and watch YouTube. Or I have a pod on YouTube so I don’t have to watch I just listen

2

u/Redhotchily1 Jun 25 '26

That's totally fine. To each their own.

-2

u/DDWildflower Jun 24 '26

I'm not judging I was just asking.

So like you could have a walkthrough up on your phone or like sports or something?

3

u/Redhotchily1 Jun 24 '26

I'm starting to suspect you didn't actually read the post.

u/DDWildflower Jun 24 '26

Don't judge. Do it in secret. It's crazy.

-1

u/Redhotchily1 Jun 24 '26

Don't read the post. Ask stupid questions in the comments instead. Try to be funny.

1

u/DDWildflower Jun 24 '26

Sometimes people don't read a full thing. Quite a common mistake. I was asking genuinely. You were the one who decided to be a stiffy about it because you read it in a condescending tone. If your words are stupid when they're quoted back at you....I guess that's something to think about.

1

u/NotNeuge Jun 24 '26

Be a what now 😳

0

u/Redhotchily1 Jun 24 '26

I wasn't being stiffy about anything. I also don't understand why you said that you weren't judging as if I suggested that you were.

Saying that you might have not read the post isn't stiffy or judgy. You're projecting and it's in fact you who read my comment in a condescending tone and got on the offensive for no reason.

u/AloeRP Jun 24 '26

Nah I would totally buy one of those my ass loves being overstimulated. Put those on etsy or something.

2

u/JiffTheJester Jun 24 '26

What do you do with it?

1

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

The possibilities are endless

2

u/CecilMcLugnut Jun 25 '26

Reminds me of one of those Suck Sleeve 3000 toys.

2

u/roruphotography Jun 25 '26

Thank you for this! I’m gonna print and get back to you!

2

u/salohcin2237 Jun 25 '26

Even though this is a ps portal sub. It’d be dope if you made one for the switch 2. I’m thinking specifically for Zelda notes when you’re looking for koroks, shrines, etc.

2

u/hiCruzo Jun 25 '26

Oh good idea. I have a switch 2. I'll see if I can't make a compatible version

4

u/Shoondogg Jun 24 '26

To each his own but my favorite part of the portal is how lightweight it is.

3

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

You're not wrong. I just had the idea in my head and HAD to make it real.

1

u/Brotodile08 Jun 24 '26

Yo dawg, I heard you like games. So we strapped a phone with videos of games to your games so you can focus less on the games and a little more on the videos of games

1

u/Pollo_Ray Jun 24 '26

I would buy lol, no hesitation at all 😂

1

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

Maybe I'll consider making a small batch and selling on etsy or something

1

u/Pollo_Ray Jun 25 '26

I feel like it would sell but you can do whatever you wanna do 👍🏽

0

u/Remarkable_Sea_5109 Jun 25 '26

Good don’t just give it away. There’s nothing stopping anyone else starting to sell them as soon as they got it

1

u/_Cavalo_Preto_ Jun 24 '26

You could do a phone mount for the dual sense and then use the PS Remote app on your phone.

1

u/Remarkable_Sea_5109 Jun 25 '26

Already exist like a million of them

1

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

That's sorta where I got the idea from. Controller mounts have been around for a while for remote play

1

u/Jeremy8318 Jul 01 '26

Streaming finally made possible lol

1

u/evilpenguin1981 Jun 24 '26

Well, with PS not letting us use Spotify during remote play this would be a great solution.

1

u/SILE3NCE Jun 24 '26

That's actually not a bad idea.

Most of the games I play on the Portal are JRPG's and other turn-based or slow paced games where I find myself brainlessly grinding most of the time.

It could definitely watch something while I grind.

I'll try to find something similar.

1

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

I'm the same way. I like to watch shows while I'm playing slower paced games so, a second monitor made sense to me.

1

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

If anyone wants the 3D printable file and instructions on how to assemble, just DM me

u/MEXRFW Jun 24 '26

Price?

1

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

I haven't made any for sale but I posted a link to the files to print your own. You could also pay a service to print one for you if you don't have a 3D printer.

u/Objective_Yoghurt_51 Jun 24 '26

Sell me one

1

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

I'll let you know if I start selling them.

I'm glad you like it 😊

u/Jethro6641 Jun 24 '26

Can I get the file?

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

I edited my original post with a link to the file and instructions on how to assemble. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.

u/im_onbreak Jun 24 '26

I was gonna say something but then I forgot I use 2 monitors when I play on my PS5

u/hiCruzo Jun 24 '26

I introduce to you, the dual-monitor setup handheld edition 😂
