Fast Phone Docker -- Grip (Customizer)
Description
<body> READ PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PRINTING - There's a few gotcha's especially if you're printing for use inside of a car...<br><br> (updating to 0.2.6 -- height adjustment for plug was broken -- fixed)<br><br> This is a docking station for a phone. It allows you to insert and plug the phone in with one hand in one second. This is a customizer, which means it's a program that generates the model based on the dimensions of your particular phone and plug. If you're not familiar with openscad, please read the section below.<br><br> This was originally designed for a car. It does not place any undue pressure on the mounting mechanism, which means it can be connected to something like a car vent without having to worry about alignment, or damage. I also built a desktop mount for use at home or in the office.<br><br> The docker comes in two parts -- This is the 'grip' part of the charger, It physically holds the phone and plugs it in, and is meant to be attached to a separate mounting mechanism. The mounts must be downloaded/printed separately. You can also design your own mount if you have a specific purpose<br><br> I made this as simple to print as possible -- it prints with no supports at a 0.2mm layer height. Many edges are beveled to prevent first layer overprint, and there's a configurable customization tolerance to adjust for different printer tollerances. That being said, it's a large print, with a lot of tight fitting mechanical parts, so you'll likely have to do some post-work. The pieces are subject to warping if you don't do lily-pads properly. I've only tested it on my printer. Let me know if there's anything I can do to make it simpler for other printers.<br><br> Most of this is snap-together. The plug assembly however, uses bolts so that you can fine tune the plug height post-print. For this you need:<br><br> 3 x 6-32 x 3/8" (or M4x10mm)<br> 1 x 6-32 nut (or M4x25mm)<br> You will need four bolts for attaching a mount, again, 6-32 or M4, but the length will depend on the mount. (3/8" works well for the desktop mount)<br><br> <a href=https://youtu.be/skYrqzR1Mlw>View in Action</a> </body>
