Ludicrously Lightweight Charging Dock

prusaprinters

<p>This is what I think will be the final iteration of my cutting board rack which became a charging dock and just kept getting lighter until it's now on the edge of functionality.<br><br>I was going to say it's on the edge of printability too, but that's not the case - it can be (and I did) printed without supports.<br><br>If you are going to print it, and you want the best outcome, I suggest printing four of the clips (STL provided) which are a snug, but not tight fit. &nbsp; Pause the print about half way up the first curve and clip one over each end as shown in the photo. &nbsp;This will stabilise the tall end pieces which have not much contact area with the plate.<br><br>Once the print is at about two-thirds height, if you remove them and relocate on the angled “front” parts you'll stop them vibrating as the print gets taller. &nbsp;(I didn't, hence the slight layer shift).<br><br>Or of course you could just give up and use supports - but where's the joy in that?<br><br>Once you've printed it, PLEASE don't use it to hold a tablet - it's fine for an array of phones, but it's a talking piece and not intended for seriously robust use.</p><p>Finally: &nbsp;If you decide to try without support or brim (or using the supports provided above), be prepared to have a few failures!<br><br>&nbsp;</p><figure class="image image_resized image-style-align-center" style="width:50%;"><img></figure><p><br><br>&nbsp;</p>
