Part of the fun of owning your own 3D printer is looking around and asking yourself, “What useful things can I make today?” For example, if you have a Samsung Galaxy S26 or Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphone, what kind of prints could you make with that in mind? With a little creativity, you can print a variety of gadgets and accessories for this Samsung phone that serve practical purposes or just make it look cooler.
All it takes is the right design and some thermoplastic filament from a reliable brand, and you can create stands and holders to stick your phone anywhere, useful clips to keep your cables organized, a sturdy protective case, or a cute little add-on to give that Galaxy S26 a little more personality. If you have some experience with 3D modeling programs, you can make these designs yourself, but if you need a starting point, you can find different models on 3D printing enthusiast websites like Printables and Maker World, either aimed specifically at the Galaxy S26 or for all smartphones in general.
Magnetic Charger Holder
The Samsung Galaxy S26 is compatible with magnetic wireless chargers, which is a good way to keep the battery charged. The only slightly annoying thing about this type of wireless charging is that, depending on the charger model, you may have to lay your phone flat on it to charge, making it much harder to see the screen. Printables user Knickfinger has designed a solution to this little conundrum in the form of a magnetic charger stand.
This stand is designed with the Galaxy S26 Ultra in mind, but could probably fit a standard S26 without much trouble. It consists of two printed components: a flat base and a curved stand, the latter having a depression in the middle for inserting a magnetic charger. Simply print and assemble the parts, insert a magnetic charger, and place your phone on the holder. It is clearly visible and also charges passively, pleasantly and easily.
Cable organizer clip
Whether you regularly connect your Galaxy S26 to your PC or plug it into a regular charger, you’re probably constantly using your USB connection cable. Keeping control of cables is a persistent pain when owning a smartphone, especially if you travel a lot, but it can be a little easier. All you need is one of Printables’ user SD-3D cable organizer clips.
SD-3D came up with this design as a fun project with his son to use up some leftover filament, so it’s exceptionally simple and easy to make on purpose. This is a unique, strong impression consisting of an S-shaped clip, through which you can wrap and pass the cables to keep them tightly bound and under control. There’s even a cone in the spaces that prevents the cables from coming out if they get jostled. Since the design is so simple, it’s also easy to expand or shrink it to fit whatever cables you have, including USB charging cables, headphone cables, power cables, and others. Make a few for your S26’s cables, then make a few more to use around the house.
Lens case and protector
The one thing that every smartphone absolutely should have, Galaxy S26 or otherwise, is a sturdy protective case. These phones aren’t cheap, and without any protection, it only takes one bad drop to turn your thousand-dollar purchase into an ineffective paperweight. There are many different protective cases on the market, but if you want a good customization opportunity, why not 3D print a case and add a little lens protection to boot?
Maker World user pyog3D designed a custom protective case for his Galaxy S26, printed from PLA filament. You can insert your phone directly into the case after printing it, and this will help protect it from sudden drops or the rigors of daily life. What’s interesting about this case is that it features a raised protrusion on the back, encircling the Galaxy S26’s three camera lenses. This helps create a little extra protection for the lenses, absorbing the weight of any sudden drops while preventing the lenses from directly impacting anything. pyog3D recommends printing with PLA or TPU, with one commenter on the file also suggesting using PETG filament for a sturdier build.
Convenient vehicle support
If you plan to use your Samsung Galaxy S26 in the car, whether to help you navigate or listen to your music, it’s not a good idea to leave it unsecured in a cup holder. He would jostle too much while driving and wouldn’t have the ideal angle to check the maps. For the best car phone experience, you want a mount to hold it firmly in place. Printables user mgen designed such a 3D printed stand for the S26 Ultra.
This thick mount will allow you to securely mount your S26 Ultra to a car dashboard for ideal hands-free operation. The build consists of a panel meant to be attached to a swivel mount via a pair of screws, as well as a secondary clamp that can be used to hold a USB-C charger underneath the phone. The phone sits on top of the charger, while the stand holds it in place. There is an alternative version of the panel available with the project, which comes with a pad that you can install an RFID chip on if you wish. mgen recommends printing this project using PTEG filament.
Phone Flashlight Lantern
Choosing accessories for your smartphone is not just for practical purposes; Sometimes it’s fun to create a cute little gadget that will give your phone some extra personality. Say, for example, you want to use your Galaxy S26’s flashlight to help you read while on a camping trip, but the flashlight is too aimed and too bright for comfortable use. Using your 3D printer, you can create a cute phone flashlight lantern that turns that light into a nice, soft illuminator for those quiet nights.
Printables user Supervince wanted to turn his smartphone’s blinding flashlight into something better suited for occasional lighting. So they designed a simple lantern to stand. This lantern consists of four parts, with an open bottom and a transparent “light” in the middle. Simply place it over your phone’s flashlight while it’s on, and the light will filter through the transparent material, dimming it and diffusing it into a pleasant glow. It’s a perfect accessory for summer camping, as well as long power outages.
