Magnetic-Charging Phone Stand

A desk phone-stand with an integrated right-angled magnetic charging cable, which runs through the bottom of the stand and out of the back.  Just drop the phone onto the stand to start charging.

It’s sized for a phone wearing this case, leaving the fingerprint sensor on the back clear.  You can edit it online in Tinkercad to fit your own phone (case).

Add four 2.5 mm-tall adhesive rubber feet under the stand for grip.

See V2 which has a narrower bed for more comfortable access to the side buttons.

(Re entry into Cable Organizers competition: I designed this to organise a single loose charging cable – not quite sure whether it’s what the competition setters had in mind…)

Layer height: I used 0.32 mm – though after eight months of pressing my fingertips against the side multiple times a day as I release the phone, I see there’s a crack there, so maybe 0.2 mm would be better to squish the layers together more.
Initial layer height (assuming 0.32 mm layer height elsewhere): 0.172 mm to avoid a small gap, in Cura at least, between the sloping phone bed and the charger retainer
Line widths: inner wall & infill 0.4 mm; outer wall & top 0.8 mm (my nozzle diameter is 0.4 mm)

Wall thickness: 1.2 mm (being a 0.8 mm outer plus, where there’s space for it, a 0.4 mm inner)
Outer before inner walls for the slope of the bed.
I put the Z seam at the back, out of sight.

Just two top layers (for 0.32 mm layer height), to avoid extra passes making the phone-bed bridge sag, and so that the finished bed is thin enough to have some give, which is probably good for dropping the phone onto it over and over.
I used no bottom layers.

Infill:
I used a Cura infill mesh to make two sections:

• To contain the cable tunnel, I used 15% Triangles infill for the bottom 3.692 mm (to just below the phone bed).
• I left the rest with no infill: the phone bed bridged happily without; and with no infill the thin bed has a bit of give.

I positioned the infill mesh over the top rather than bottom section, to avoid a Cura bug/feature whereby the meshed infill got printed before the walls.

Supports: none
