Samsung Qi wireless charging phone holder for BMW vehicles

thingiverse

The BMW i3 Electric car boasts three small receptacles in the center console's front area designed to hold detachable cup-holders. This setup accommodates this design perfectly and offers a spot to place your cellphone where it can wirelessly charge from a Samsung wireless charger. Files currently compatible with this design fit the Samsung Note5, but I'm actively working on a version tailored for the Note8. In theory, I can adjust the design to fit any phone model. This is an ongoing project. Although the two pieces don't align completely, they are incredibly strong and functional (as evident in the attached photo). However, there's an unsightly gap that needs to be addressed by adding some tolerance to the parts where they interface. Additionally, a nasty overhang causes some rough strings on the base's underside, which could be resolved through angling or a different connection design. Despite these imperfections, this design does work as intended.
