iPhone heavy Dock - Customize

thingiverse

I sought a design that would fit my iPhone 5 perfectly and allow me to customize it to match my case and aftermarket cable. I also wanted the option to add weight to the design while it was being printed. You can remove the module in OpenScad to enable printed infill instead of hollow space. To customize this design, I used OpenScad (a free software) to make any necessary adjustments. Then, I exported the design as an STL file and sent it to my favorite slicer (Slic3r) for processing. Next, I generated g-code from the slicer and sent it to my printer. Before starting the actual print job, I ran a series of test blocks to ensure that everything would fit properly. I drew heavily on the code from "iPhone 5 Dock v2 by Okatake" to create this design. Print Settings: Printer: Makerfront i3Pro XL Rafts: No Supports: No Notes: To add weight while printing, you can use sand in the infill area if you're using an infill pattern that allows the holes to extend all the way down. However, do not use a 3D honeycomb pattern for this purpose. If you do choose to use sand, pause the printer, raise the head, add the sand, lower the head, and then resume printing. I have only printed with PET material so far.
