iPhone SE (5/5s/etc) dock for Golf GTI MK7

thingiverse

I really loved the idea of that source dock, but it was too massive for my phone and I didn't have an L-shaped cable. But it has a Tinkercad link! I've never used Tinkercad before, but I'm fairly familiar with CAD programs and it seemed pretty straightforward so I rolled up my sleeves and dove in. Unfortunately I quickly realized that Tinkercad and I don't share the same language. I couldn't find a way to measure the distance from a part to a specific spot. It would give me measurements, but only ones that it deemed necessary which turned out not to be the ones I wanted. After some searching on the internet, finding developer posts that said "yeah, we don't do that", and printing a failed version with the wrong dimensions I finally gave up and re-created it in Fusion 360. Since then I've noticed that there's a "Take Your Designs Further with Autodesk" section under Export that just opens it in Fusion 360. This dock is specifically designed around a standard iPhone cable. You insert the cable vertically through the back of the dock, twist it 90 degrees, and then push it back in to lock it in place. That keeps it from rotating or being pushed back through the dock. You do have to fasten it down to keep it from pulling forward (tape, superglue, etc.) but this should position your phone quickly onto the connector with a minimum of fuss.
