Description

The Severance iPhone Standby Dock
 

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.

Features
 

  1. 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. 

     

     

  2. 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. 

     

Functions
 

  1. MagSafe Standby Dock – When placing your iPhone (11-16 non-Pro, 11-16 Pro, 15-16 Pro Max and possibly the Plus) in the dock, it will enter Standby Mode, displaying widgets and whatnot. The MagSafe charger fits just right. To eject, simply press the right side of your phone and it will pivot out of the dock. No buttons or levers keeps the design as true to the original as possible. 
  2. Nightlight Mode - Turn on your phone's flashlight and place it in the dock. The light will shine through the Lumon logo and the whole terminal will emit a soft glow. 
     

“The light of discovery shines truer upon a virgin meadow than a beaten path.” 

– Kier Egan, founder of Lumon. 


 

Printing and Assembly

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.

 

 

Optional
 

  • There's a power outlet backplate with the Lumon logo. Add a couple drops of super glue to keep it in place. 
  • The base of the stand has a 1 mm recess. You can add a pad of rubber or rubber feed to the corners. This model has a good amount of heft and doesn't move around a lot and rubber feet will certainly keep it in place. 
     


Other Notes

 

  • There are three faceplates. One for the older MagSafe charger (55.9 mm) and one for the newer model with the braided cable (55.5 mm). Please measure your MagSafe charger to be sure. The third faceplate is for the iPhone 16 and the new MagSafe. The Lumon drop lines up with its centered flashlight. If you don't want or need Nightlight mode, print the faceplate appropriate to your charger.
  • I've included a “Fit Test” template to see if your phone will fit. I modeled everything based on my own iPhone 14 Pro. According to the design specs from Apple, iPhones 11-16 (non-Pro, non-Plus) and iPhones 11-14 Pro should fit. Obviously, this is without a case – as intended.


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.

Love the model. Should I be able to angle it at or is it set in place?

I'm so glad you like the model. It was a challenge for me. The angle is set. One of the difficulties I had (I'm new at this,) was making it adjustable because it's so front-heavy. I couldn't come up with a way to reliably set it in place. I think I might have a solution now that I'll experiment with it this week. BTW - I'm gonna print your Batman Logo as soon as my yellow filament order arrives.

re: batman - Awesome! Let me know how it turns out. re: angle - just an idea, and i'm not sure how you'd model this but it would be cool if it had like notches or like a click?

Oh noI I just looked at the profile again and it appears that I exported the wrong monitor model. The one that should be there is angled at 12 degrees. I'm fixing it now and will upload in a minute. Edit: Model updated.

Any chance of a step file so we can adjust for other phones? Specifically a 15pro?

Seriously, I'd love to but this model needs to be cleaned up. Hold tight. I'm working on something that will work with larger phones.

The 15 Pro is less than 1 mm smaller HxW than the 14 Pro. Your phone will fit. There will be more clearance but it will work. Print the Fit Test plate to double check me.

This exquisite model is so precise a creation that one might deem it sprung forth from the hallowed severed floor itself. Crafted upon the forge of creation with filaments bestowed by the diligent hands of Sunlu and Polymaker, its matte visage mirrors the solemnity of Kier’s own compliance texts. The iPhone device—16th Pro Max iteration—now rests within its cradle, a union of form and function so exacting that it stirs remembrance of Dieter’s lamentations at Woe’s Hollow. Praise Kier!

Love the design I’ve just had a few issues with wobbling from the base. I’ve tried an o-ring and washer but it still does it. other than that it’s great.

The tolerance in the base is quite tight. The outer ring of the base should fit snuggly into the the outer hole of the base. Put together, the two parts should have about a 0.2 mm clearance top to bottom. Is that not the case?

I have the same experience with my model, it is not tight enough which makes it a bit wobbly.

Two questions for you and @Cboy – 1) did you use "Download STL/CAD files", "Download 3MF", or "Open in Bambu Studio"? and 2) Which Profile did you use? It appears that @Cboy used the Normal Size Phones… What about you, @filipmo ?

I can’t for the life of me get the base to print. I’ve tried printing at the angle in the project twice and it failed catastrophically both times, then I tried printing the part flat on the print bed and it just curled at the corners with really ugly print lines on the top. any ideas of what I’m doing wrong?
The designer has replied

Oh no. Without seeing the trouble you ran into and where, it's hard to diagnose why the print isn't working. There are a couple things to try but I want to make sure we have the basics covered first. Clean bed: wash your bed in dish soap and warm water. You probably already did this but usually when corners curl up from printing flat, that points to bed adhesion issues. It could also be the reason the angled orientation fails as well. If the brim and the contact layers are unstable, that will lead to issues as the print gets higher and off center. Suggestions: 1. Slow down - Try lowering the speed for this plate. Reduce it to something like 125 mm/s outer wall and 200 mm/s inner wall. Or reduce your printer to "Silent" speed. This is 50% slower overall. 2. Paint supports - You can use Bambu Studio to paint supports onto the bottom of the model. Added a picture so you could see where to paint the supports. This may help stabilize the model as it gets higher. The downside is a little more post-processing in getting rid of the support residue on the model. 3. Increase the brim size. Not sure this will really help if there are bed adhesion issues. Even though it seem counter intuitive, I'd encourage you to print this on a diagonal vs. flat. The ugly print lines is called stair-stepping and is due to how the printer lays down layers. You could futz around with adjustable layer height settings but you'll just have smaller print lines. Good luck with this and please let me know if this helps one way or another.

Thanks for the response. This is the most successful result of all my attempts to print this part. I originally considered painting supports onto the model, but I guess I assumed it would print as-is. Did you use the settings you suggested in your response? If so, is there a way to update the project for people who want to print this in the future?

>Did you use the settings you suggested in your response? No. I just opened up Bambu Studio and did that to try and help you out. I haven't printed it this way because, knock on wood, it has printed fine as-is for me several times. I did have one failure that looked similar to your picture. After cleaning the print bed, it printed fine. I didn't really dig into it past that. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll add a note to the profile right now and upload an optional plate for the base with supports when I get back home. Hoping you'll get a good print of the base one way or another!

Love the severance print and have printed out the main part however, my iPhone 16 Max will not fit because of the case, Is there any way I can get the 3d files to adjust the blue inside part? Or if you just make it a blue border and max size, and then phones could just fit in the loose area, that is an option. idk. I might just end up printing the blue part to a point without the outside border so the charger could at least mount to the base. my email is jamison.hiner@gmail.com. Let me know. Of course, for any changes I make, I could provide the files back so you could have the option to let others print them out. Thank you for your time!

Hey there. Do you have measurements with the case? I'll have to look at that because there isn't much clearance as it is. If the case adds too much around the perimeter, then I'd have to increase the size of the monitor. That isn't as straight forward as it would seem.

The phone with the case is 6.6875" x 3.36". Thats why a version with just the back blue area without a border would work

I have a 15 Pro so I'm waiting on that variation, which parts would be safe to print ahead of time? I imagine a few of them at least are the same regardless of phone size?

The monitor, base and knobs will be the same. It's the faceplate that will be different.

Wait. You have a 15 Pro, not a Pro Max, right? It should work with the original profile made for the 14 Pro. The 15 is less than 1 mm smaller HxW.

I've printed the iphone 16 pro max inner part and find it to be just a little bit too tight on the phone. Do you think scaling it up by 1-2% would still work?

It probably won't fit into the monitor. When you say it's tight. How? Length, width, both? It will fit snug, but it should have enough clearance not to press buttons down.
