bedside phoneholder with integrated wireless Qi charger

thingiverse

This is a derivative of my formerly created bedside holder with cup and creative accessories stand. The holder is designed to be used on 30mm thick bars. ----- THE END ------ Update: I cleaned up the small part, making it a bit neater. I also changed the shape of the charger's cave from cone disk to cylinder. The pictures show the smaller version. Due to limited build space on my CTC printer, I had to reduce its size by a few mm. Edit the bigger thing to make it fit your needs. Be careful when adjusting the slot width, the disk mold especially the depth, and the USB plug mold. You can edit it online in Tinkercad: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/kDMaBQHJ5xo-bedside-wireless-qi-charger The parts: * The big part size: 162x141x40mm * The small part size: 162x131.5x40mm I successfully printed the small part on my CTC Twimaker. See the pictures. The story: Due to strong demand, I redesigned and made the thing with an integrated Qi-charger disk. The dimensions allow holding phones bigger than the iPhone5. Some from LG and many other manufacturers will fit. The Pulesen Qi-charger disk has a halfway cylindrical shape. Its diameter is 93mm, and its thickness is 7.5mm. It's powered by Micro USB. The receiver coil integrated with the receiver mat should sit around 75mm away from the right side wall. This was done because the coil sits almost centered on the back of our phones (several models from different brands). We are using Nillkin Wireless Charger Receivers on this disk and the much stronger Qi desk charger. Look for one similar to this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nillkin-Wireless-Charging-Receiver-Charger/dp/B01M11UT3V Or this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/PULESEN-Wireless-Charger-Charging-Samsung/dp/B01FJW43EC/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_107_lp_t_3/257-2298514-1577853?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D8C3S2Q92901GZZ0WP5M The used flat Qi-charger has a maximum output of 5 watts, which is relatively weak. However, it works with my wife's Huawei P10 lite. Charging over night takes time, but it works okay. Not the best choice for power-hungry devices like iPhone. Most of the time, IOS blames the particular Qi-charger not to be a compatible accessory. WARNING: Please be aware that a certain amount of heat is generated by the charger and your phone while charging. This is normal. Warming up to around 40-45 degree Celsius is okay. - Do NOT cover the warmed-up charger/phone with your bed blanket or pillow or so. Printing out: At low speed, printing took a long time. Approximately 110g of filament was printed out. My recommendations and settings for printing on FR4 Epoxy sheet: * ABS * Hotend temperature: 255 degree Celsius (as shown by the display) * Bed temperature: 110 degree Celsius * Layer height: 0.3mm * Infill: 15% * Speed: as low as 30mm/sec (thanks to my crappy shaky Chinese-made CTC printer) * Allow bridging * No raft (absolutely no raft, prepare your bed properly, printing a raft is huge waste of filament and time) * No brim (allow it if you need it) * No skirt (allow it if you need it) * No support if your printer can bridge the 30mm slot width okay
