Like you, I love so much about this show - the acting, the story, the darkness and, naturally, the Innies' computers. Meet the Data General Dasher D2 Terminal Computer straight from the Macrodata Research Department remade into an iPhone Standby dock. That's all it does. Well, besides helping me tame my own Four Tempers.
Update 2/5:
By popular demand, I uploaded an iPhone 16 Pro Max model. I'm working on other and will upload/update as I finish them.
Update 2/6:
Added iPhone 15 Pro Max to the Big Phone profile. If you have a big phone that isn't a 15 or 16 Pro Max, print one of the Fit Test plates for size.
Update 2/7:
Added iPhone 16 Pro to the “Normal Size Phone…” profile. This will be the last phone specific update for a while. If there are any issues with fit, please comment and I'll look into it. As for non-Apple Phones, I'm still considering options. Thanks for your patience, good people. This is a fun project and I've learned so much from so many of you. Thank you for the likes, boosts and downloads. This is totally my pleasure.

Faithful recreation - Over the last couple weeks, I spent hours pouring over reference photos, making measurements, learning how to model and painstakingly recreated the Dasher D2 as an iPhone dock. From the gentle curves and draft lines, to the top and bottom air vents, every detail of the original General Data Dasher D2 is recreated. Fans of retro computer design, cassette futurism and, naturally, Severance will appreciate the details. I call it the Dylan G.
Style - It's no wonder the designers of the show chose the Dasher D2. It's a classic that made any 70s data center a little brighter and the design still holds up today. In adding the necessary modifications to transform the terminal into an iPhone dock, I added the Lumon “drop” to the the navy blue faceplate. I also added an optional backplate for the power plug with the Lumon “world” lettermark.

The profile is arranged to give you the highest quality model. There are more plates and everything is tuned as best as I know how. I chose wall thickness vs. infill for strength. Lightning infill at 10% and 3-4 walls is sufficiently strong. I don't recommend reducing the wall thickness unless you up your line width settings to 0.6 mm across the board – or do both.
Assembly is straight forward. Place the monitor in the stand. Thread your MagSafe cable through the faceplate slot and push the puck into the large hole. Thread your cable through the monitor and fit the faceplate into the monitor well. Place the stand into the base. Plug it in and go.
I've learned a ton and hope to learn more. If you have any tips on how to improve modeling, slicing and printing this project, please let me know.
Since receiving my printer as a holiday present from my wife, I have been printing everything from drawer organizers, small adapters, brackets and the odd bracket. This is my first multi-component model built from scratch. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
