iPhone 6 or 7 Passive speaker amplifier and charging dock

myminifactory

This dock will accommodate an iPhone 6 or 7 with a case and also provide passive amplification to the speaker along with charging capabilities; simply thread the Apple lightning cable through the hole and twist it into place. A groove is designed to keep the cable neatly tucked behind the dock. I have successfully printed this model on my MOD-t 3D printer, which is fairly basic. This particular design pushes the bridging and overhang limits of your printer but still prints without excessive sagging or stringing. To ensure a successful print, I recommend using a raft or at least a five-line brim to increase contact with the build plate; otherwise, the model may not stay put. It's essential to add supports to secure the base of the acoustic void, but be sure to avoid placing them inside this area so as not to compromise the appearance of the printed surfaces in plain view. With an overhang angle threshold set to 44° on Cura, I achieve only two lines of support for the overhang on the side cutouts, resulting in perfect prints every time. Infill can be set to zero percent without compromising the model's rigidity.
