Universal iPhone Lightning Dock

thingiverse

Inspired by the original iPhone Lightning Dock by Apple and the brilliant design of jckray, I decided to create my own iPhone dock. Apple's design works seamlessly with their cases but doesn't fit many other cases, including those from Spigen and others. Jckray's design was excellent, but the version intended for most cases didn't work with five different (slim) cases I own. I opted not to use original Apple Lightning cables, which fit perfectly in jckray's design, and instead chose Amazon basics Lightning cables, which were too loose in jckray's design. The result is a sleek dock with custom text and my logo at the front. You'll need to use the base plate from jckray's original design. The rest of the components are entirely new creations inspired by jckray's design. To print: - Print the STL file, no support needed (I used 65% cubic subdivision infill in cura). - Print the base plate. - Place a heavy object in the two large grooves to give the dock some weight. I used lead powder and secured it with hot glue. - Attach an Amazon basics cable available in black or white. - Attach the base plate, which can be done without glue; just apply a little pressure. The pictures show two test prints, as I didn't have a final product to photograph since it was a gift. I forgot to take a picture! I hope you enjoy the design! Included are two STL files: one blank and one with "Hab dich lieb" written on it. The text can be easily modified in freecad. I hope you like the design! Thanks, Hans
