Modular and Expandable Logitech Crayon Charging Base for Class Sets of Any Size

thingiverse

This modular and expandable charging cradle is designed to accommodate any size class set of Logitech Crayon iPad styluses. The school district where I work has multiple class sets of these styluses for students to use with their 1:1 iPads, but they've been disorganized and difficult to access. To address this issue, I created a charging cradle that allows all the styluses to be charged at once and easily accessible in the classroom. Students can simply pick up a Crayon, use it for the class period, and then return it to the cradle when they're done. This design is modular and scalable to support any size class set. If the number of styluses increases, I can simply print more modules and snap them together. The charging cradle was designed to work with aftermarket lightning cables that are often larger than Apple's standard cables. However, a small adapter can be printed to accommodate official Apple cables if needed. To insert a cable, start at the bottom of the block and rotate 90 degrees once it's through, then pull back down. The cable will now be seated in place. Underneath the charging cradle, there's space for cable management. Small zip ties can be used to secure each cable to the charging block, ensuring that they stay organized and don't get tangled when a stylus is removed. This charging cradle has been tested with larger aftermarket cables, specifically: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D9C8NP2
