Magnetic Phone Charger Base

thingiverse

Edit: 14/01/2020 Added a wire holder that securely fastens to the back and allows you to neatly wrap any extra wire into it so long lengths don't hang around. It fastens using a small M3 machine screw. I made the hole in the wire part slightly tighter so it threads nicely. You may need to widen the opening slightly to get the bolt started. I bought my wife a wireless phone charger for her cell phone, but she couldn't use it because her phone is in a case that magnetically attaches to her wallet. She wanted the wireless charger but wasn't willing to give up her magnetic wallet case. I decided to print a stand that could hold a magnetic charging clip. She can then just place her phone on the stand and the magnetic clip will attach to the charging port. This model fits a 90-degree magnetic charger I found on Amazon.ca. I expect most of these chargers have the same size end. I chose the 90-degree connector because it allows the wire to come out the side and fits close to the base. I was going to print a clip to fasten the charger end in place, but it's holding quite well on its own. The charger end can be positioned from either end, but if it's inserted from the right, the small LED won't be visible on the charger cable that I got. I also have a piece planned for the back that will allow me to wrap excess wire and keep it out of the way. It may not be as good as a wireless charger, but it does work.
