Iphone 5 Charging Stand

thingiverse

This phone stand was designed specifically for an iPhone 5. It features a convenient hole for the charging cable, allowing users to keep their device charged while keeping their workspace tidy. Additionally, the stand includes holes for the earphone jack and camera lens, ensuring that these essential components are always accessible. This project is part of the #MakerEdChallenge2 initiative, which encourages students to create innovative solutions using 3D printing technology. As an engineering student, I have enjoyed taking on projects like this, as they allow me to apply my knowledge in practical ways. When I started the engineering class, I invested in a 3D printer for myself, enabling me to bring my designs to life. **Important Notes:** * This stand is compatible with all iPhone 5 editions. * The stand shown in the images has since been updated to provide a better fit. **Print Settings:** Rafts: No matter what settings you choose Supports: Not required Infill: Set to 20% for optimal results **Post-Printing Instructions:** Your printer should be able to print the object in the orientation specified. Depending on your printer, you may also need to use a raft to ensure proper adhesion. **Design Process:** Our teacher assigned us a project that required us to create an everyday item using 3D printing technology. I wanted to design something that would make charging my phone more convenient and visually appealing. The #MakerEdChallenge2 initiative encourages students to push the boundaries of innovation, and this project was a perfect example of that. **Project Details:** Iphone 5 Charge Station To complete this project, you will need access to calipers for precise measurements. Depending on student skill level and design complexity, completing a modeling portion of an engineering class can take anywhere from 2-3 weeks. A basic understanding of 3D modeling and math skills are necessary to create this stand. This project is ideal for schools with 3D printers, as it encourages students to build something practical that they can use and take home. Knowing that they created the object themselves makes it even more special.
