iPhone & Apple Watch Lightning Dock

thingiverse

Charging Dock for Lightning Compatible Devices The dock is an exact replica of Apple's iPhone Lightning Dock, but it charges both iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time via Micro USB instead of a Lightning connector. There are two versions available: one with a watch charger and one without. The Phone dock will charge and sync the phone through any USB port, while the Phone & Watch dock can only charge both devices when connected to a 2.1A charging USB port. This limitation could be overcome by creating two voltage dividers for the watch charger's data+ and - lines. Print Settings Printer: Kossel Mini Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 75% Notes: Sliced in Cura Docks printed in ColorFabb XT-CF20 at 250°C, Bottom Grip printed in NinjaFlex Snow at 240°C. Post-Printing Insert an Apple Lightning to USB Cable into the top of the dock and remove the USB Type-A connector. Solder the wires to a Micro USB Breakout Board. Press the breakout board into the bottom of the dock. Add Adhesive Backed Lead Weights to the side cavities on the dock's underside for stability. For the Apple Watch dock, remove the USB Type-A connector from your Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable and insert it into the watch dock. Bend 5mm Brass Tubing at a 90-degree angle using a Tube Bender. Trim both sides of the tube with an X-ACTO knife to avoid tipping over due to the watch's weight. Run the watch charger's cable through the tube until it presses into the watch dock. Press the other side of the tube into the phone dock and flare the edge to secure it in place. Solder the watch charger's wires to the micro USB breakout board. Secure all parts together with acrylate glue if needed, then attach the bottom grip to the underside of the dock.
