Knockoff Playdate Pen Dock

thingiverse

A small magnetic charging dock for the Panic Playdate. With a pen holder. Sound familiar? Panic's official Bluetooth speaker dock isn't out yet, so I put together this design while waiting for my Playdate to arrive. The magnet holes on the back are fitted with a two by two square of 3mm square magnets. (In other words, it should fit a 6mm magnet.) Unfortunately, the magnets I have on hand aren't that strong. The handheld's mostly being held up by the USB-C charging cable. The magnets are just stopping it from falling over. If you want to use this design without the charging cable, you'll need to find some stronger magnets than the admitted "Executive Desk Toy Magnets" I had laying around. There's three holes in the back of the dock that you can fill with pennies to weigh it down. It stops it from flopping all over your desk, but it isn't strictly necessary. The pen hole is 8.5mm in diameter. My Wanhao Duplicator i3 was able to print this without any supports, but you may need to turn them on if your printer is having trouble bridging the 10mm gap for the charging cable in the base.
