Dock for Nexus 4 and LG WCP300 wireless charger (parameterized)

thingiverse

I'm tired of my Nexus 4 phone sliding off its WCP300 wireless charger, so I decided to create a device that keeps them together. I wanted something more stable than that; using it in a slanted position isn't an option for me since I just use it for charging. This dock holds the phone pretty loosely so it can be lifted in and out without sticking. The dock was designed with OpenSCAD, and it's fully customizable, allowing you to easily adapt it to other phones and wireless chargers as long as the charger is round. Sorry about the sloppy code - I only wanted to get this one job done fast. Instructions Measure your phone and wireless charger if you're using a different device from my Nexus 4 and WCP300 charger. Also mount the phone on your charger so that it's charging reliably, then measure the distance from its base to the charger base. Add a millimeter or two to both measurements, edit the OpenSCAD file with your new values, create an STL file, and you're done! Note: the OpenSCAD code calls the charger a puck simply because that's what it looks like. If you have this exact combination then just slice the attached STL file and print it. I used these settings but feel free to use whatever suits your machine and filament: CuraEngine slicer 0.3mm layer thickness 20% infill PLA 210C hot-end, 60C bed Full support enabled The STL files have 2 small hollows underneath just to save plastic - the support for these can be broken out after printing but I didn't bother doing that myself.
