Phone and Watch Charging Station
Description
This is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4803204 which is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4657117 I realized that neither the original design nor the remix would accommodate the new iPhone 13 Pro, as the new camera protrudes too much to allow for the MagSafe to dock. So I created a little slot to accommodate the camera. I made the slot just a little large to make it easier to line up and get the phone to attach to the MagSafe charger without having to line up perfect every time. Makes it easier to get the phone on and off the charging station. I made two versions of this. One retains the slider from the previous remix, and one removes the slider. Personally, I don't care for and do not use the slider. However, you might want it, so I kept that, as well. That's the only modification I made. This is my first attempt at publishing anything on here, so if I messed anything up or violated any rules, I apologize in advance. Shoot me a message and I'll resolve the problem. I'm a total novice at this. I remixed this for my new phone and thought maybe someone out there ran into similar issues as I and I wanted to share. I found that if you print apple-side down, and your bridging is good, you can get away without any supports in the non-slider version. You may still need to add supports in the cable slots to get them to print correctly. I tried it both ways and can make an argument either way. If you don't add supports, you might run into some troubles with the cable slot strength (I had a little sagging, but still totally usable). On the other hand, digging the supports out of those slots was kind of a pain, but the slots turned out stronger. Both ways worked. If you choose to print the version with the slider, you'll need to add supports for the threaded pieces that will accommodate the wingnuts. I'd still recommend printing apple side down for this. I printed one with 15% infill and one with 20% infill. 20% seemed a little more robust, but 15% works great, too, and will save you approximately 90 minutes of printing, as well as approximately 50 cents worth of filament.
