Fast Phone Docker -- Grip (Customizer)

thingiverse

READ PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PRINTING - You're warned, especially if you're printing for use inside a car. There are some gotcha's to watch out for. (updating to 0.2.6 -- fixed height adjustment for plug) This is a docking station for your phone. It allows you to insert and plug the phone in with one hand in just one second. This is a customizer, which means it 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. This was originally designed for use in a car. It doesn't 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. The docking station 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 and printed separately. You can also design your own mount if you have a specific purpose. 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 tolerances. 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 use 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. 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: 3 x 6-32 x 3/8" (or M4x10mm) 1 x 6-32 nut 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) [View in Action](https://youtu.be/skYrqzR1Mlw)
