Orb Qi Charger Shell

thingiverse

I enclose my Nexus 7 Qi charger in a protective shell that blocks out harsh actinic light from the vibrant green charging LED situated on the side. The design called for careful placement of the STL file, requiring me to rotate it by 45 degrees as I laid it out on the print bed to prevent the legs from printing at an angle. More details about this innovative gadget can be discovered at http://tomhorsley.com/hardware/solidoodle/solidoodle-charger.html . The choice to design and create this protective cover instead of using electrical tape was driven by my desire to use the 3D printer's capabilities, even though sticking a strip of tape on the side would have sufficed.
