Qi Charger Stand for iPhone 8 Plus

thingiverse

There are numerous Qi chargers available on eBay for approximately $6 to $10 that measure 70mm in diameter and 10mm thick. This stand is specifically designed for these chargers, but others with similar dimensions will also work effectively. I was particularly impressed by the charger stand created by Eedh, which can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1033675. However, his design places the Qi charger too low to properly charge an iPhone 8 Plus. Therefore, I designed this stand with a similar appearance but positioned the Qi charger significantly higher. My iPhone 8 Plus measures about 160mm in length, so this stand attempts to center the Qi charger approximately 80mm from where the phone rests. Please note that your phone's dimensions may vary by up to 5mm due to the protective case you use. This stand is also designed to support thicker cases like Otter Boxes. Additionally, it holds the phone at a 20-degree angle from vertical. I printed my stand with 100% infill to enhance stability, taking into account its extra weight. However, this is not necessary; feel free to print it with less infill if you prefer to conserve filament. UPDATE: Version 2 of this design features analog sound amplification, easier access to the home button, and clearance for the Earbuds Connector, allowing users to charge their phone while using Lightning Connector Earbuds.
