Description

Summary

A DIY Qi wireless charging dock designed for the Nexus 5.

This may work fine with other phones but the measurements for this are made to hit the "sweet spot" on the Nexus 5 for wireless charging.

This is the Qi module I used, however many over-seas retailers will sell similar ones with the exact same dimensions for cheaper: http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/305953407.html

Instructions

Print with high infill and at high quality for strength. No raft or support structure needed.

You'll need a DIY Qi module from any over-seas seller, and a USB cord you can cut.

I chose to NOT use the built in micro USB port and instead power directly on the board. Cut the USB cable and strip just the red and back wires (power and ground, respectively). Find the "+" and "-" signs on the board to the left of the USB power and solder or super-glue if you're feeling especially low-tech.

Test to be sure it powers up properly before using super-glue to affix the top.

Plasti-dip or paint to your liking.
