A beautiful homemade phone holder was ultimately replaced by somewhat ugly wooden hooks. If you disregard their appearance, they turned out to be more convenient. Firstly, they are easily removable and installable. I don’t always need them, and there’s no unnecessary bulk. Secondly, they fit much tighter, nothing wobbles. Thirdly, I finally got around to using the jigsaw and paint, which seems more important than the result.

The previous holder, printed on a 3D printer, did not survive our sun. Ultraviolet combined with hot rays deforms PLA plastic, and my printer can’t handle PETG. There’s little hope for photopolymer printing since the resin also doesn’t particularly like direct sunlight. So, the temporary wooden alternative might easily become permanent 😉
