Description
This is 6-slot charging station for the widely available and popular HTC Vive Tracker 3.0.
It connects to the pogo pin headers at the bottom of the trackers to charge them, eliminating the need for USB-C cables and chargers.
Just put the tracker on one of the slots and it will start charging automatically.
I also provide all the STEP files in case you need to make modifications to the design.
Print Details
I printed the model from ASA, but you should also be able to print it from any hard 3D printing material including PLA.
None of the parts requires support structures.

Assembly
ConnectorModules
To assemble the charger start by building the 6 connector modules.
Start by carefully cutting the angled pin header into individual pins (the spacer should stay intact).
Now place them in the slots according to the following figure:
After making sure that the pins are fully seated in their slots you can use the SolderHelper piece to flip it over and solder the little perf board piece as a backplate to the pins (it prevents the pins from moving).
The perf board also works as a breakout board to solder the positive and negativ wires (20AWG) to the connector module:
To add additional rigidity you can add a small amount of hotglue to fix the the perf board in place.
Repeat this process for all 6 modules.
TopShell
Add the 14 M3 heatsets and the 12 M2 heatsts to the top shell.
Screw the Wago holder to the top shell using 4 M3x8mm FHCS screws.
Install the 4 Wago terminals into the holder module.
Install the 6 connector modules to the top shell using M2x6mm SHCS screws.
⚠Make sure to install them in the correct orientation (pin row always on the outside):
BottomShell
Solder the 24 AWG wires to the DC socket (make sure polarity is correct) and add some heatshrink tubing to isolate the terminals.
Install the DC socket on the bottom shell and fix it in place with the included nut.
Wiring
Now connect everything together.
Start by connecting two of the Wago terminals to form a GND rail and two of the Wago terminals to form a VCC rail. Use the 24 AWG wire for this. Now connect all the modules to the two rails as well as the wires from the DC port.
Finalization
Now that everything is connected correctly you can optionally add some electrical tape to fix the wires in place before closing the two shells and screwing them together using the M3x10 SHCS screws.
Finally connect the 5V PSU to the DC socket and place the Vive Trackers onto the slots to charge them.
