My wife and I travel this means staying at Motels when visiting family out of state. You check into a motel, and you have phones tablets watches and countless other electronic devices that now need to be charged and one empty working outlet in the room. "Ever been there"? Or staying at family's house and once again one unused outlet in the room.
Design criteria:
1. Light weight< under 2 pounds depending on charger.
2. Size Footprint< 6 1/2" wide 7 1/2" long 3 1/8" tall 5 1/4" tall with dividers installed.
3. Ease of use< Dividers that fit snug but will remove for traveling. No hinges so cover may be lifted off easily set to side with electronics still on cover. Holes in base to fit most standard plug ends. Inside of base large enough to hold all components including dividers/charger/ plugs/ Velcro strap while traveling to hold top in place.
4. Prints with .6 nozzle Film PLA No support needed All parts print horizontal
Notes: I am a wood worker at heart and as you can see in the photo, my first model I made about 4 years ago was made from wood, big clunky and when traveling it was like taking a piece of furniture with me. This model is half the size and a tenth of the weight. I've been asked what kind of charger to use I don't recommend chargers. I think you can make the best choice to fit your needs. The photos will show different chargers I have used 6 ports to 10 ports. I do recommend using 12" cables if your traveling because room is limited. I have tried to print this out in wood grain film, but my printer nozzle keeps getting jammed if someone would like to print this in wood grain, I would love to see the make. On the dividers they are very snug at first but sliding them in and out loosens them up over time. The long tab on underside of cover helps push them out for removal. Thank you for the interest in my design.
