Nexus 5 car holder dock with QI - low warp design, tighter fit

thingiverse

This is a remake of my nexus 5 wireless car dock after my original melted in the summer heat of my car (Printed in PLA).\nModification since V1:\n1:Created for slimmer phone "shell" cases like the Capdase Karapace Touch.\n2:Created with ABS for heat resistance. Horizontal holes minimize warping issues.\n3:Draft angle on the Qi charger recess to secure it firmly.\nThis is a wireless charging car dock for an LG Google Nexus 5 phone.\nPrint time: 4 Hours\nCleanup: 10 minutes\nAssembly: 10 minutes\nThe phone is inserted from the front, ideal when space is limited i.e. between the A-Pillar and steering wheel.\nThe holder fits on standard suction bases found in most car holders with a snap fit of four claws between the base and the actual holder (five out of five bases fitted perfectly). It has a recess to hold any Qi Charging module (a 70mm dia x 10mm thick QI base will work) see link above. Attach 5mm self-adhesive felt pads on each claw to prevent scratching your phone. If you are using a case with your phone, you only need a pad on the side claw.\nInstructions\nPrint in one piece with the large flat side against your print bed.\nThere are some small chamfered overhangs in this print but no major bridging.\nThe snap fits worked perfectly on my printer. However, snap fits are pretty high tolerance so you may need to adjust your post-processing or file to fit.\nYou will also require:\nSuction base from a generic car holder with a four-claw type connection.\nSee the attached photos for details.\nThe suction base I used was stiffer than my previous swan neck, found at http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00H3G8858?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00\nThree felt pads or similar padding are needed: a Divesta Furniture Protector, 5mm Square Scratch-Free Cushion Pads, available at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Divesta-Furniture-Protector-Square-Scratch/dp/B009YUZNYU/\nA Qi charging base (70mm dia, 10mm thick) is necessary; I used a QUMOX branded charger available at https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KA7INC0/
