I know this is very specific to my devices, but thought I’d share anyways. Really happy with how this came out and how convenient it is.

I have been playing with this idea for a while and finally designed it. This charges my ZFold3, Galaxy Watch6 and XROS vape all at the same time on my nightstand.
Phone and watch chargers are wireless, vape charger is a cable inserted to make a ‘dock’.

I designed slots in the bottom so the cables all route out the back.

I added a little area at the front for miscellaneous items, like lip balm and coins.

I’m kicking myself now for not including a place to put my glasses, but I might design something to attach to this existing dock for them to go.

    Things like this are why I love 3d printers.

    I’ve got a shelf thing I made that holds all of my roommate and my smoking stuff to keep it from being all over the counter. Game changer

      Nice! it feels awesome to make something useful that you know would never be produced at scale by any company. I’m years into printing but never lose the sense of wonder I get turning ideas into physical objects.

    This looks awesome. We’ll done.

    Man I need to just buckle up and get myself a filament printer. I’ve got something similar floating around in my brain that I want to have but no one makes that I’ve been able to find. 2 Qi charging plates as well as 4(ish) front side USB charging ports. Headphone stand between the Qi chargers.m

      They are incredibly cheap these days! You can get started for like $200

      Do you have any experience in CAD?

        Some, I’ve used blender and fusion 360 for my resin prints. Blender isn’t great for cad work obviously but has worked for some things and definitely for the more artistic stuff.

        I really love Fusion 360 but want to get rid of their dumb payment system but have yet to find a free alternative that is as easy to use. I use fusion maaaaybe 2 times every 3 months and like unlike blender it doesn’t feel like I have to keep using it constantly to remember all the shortcuts and menus etc. It just kind of works for the vast majority of stuff I do. I used to use Sketchup back when it was a real program and wasn’t online only.

    This looks really sleek! Any plans to publish the print files for it? (or put them up somewhere it can be purchased?)

      Oh for sure, I figured it would be too specific to me and my chargers so didn’t offer
