I have a charging corner at home where I charge all my laptops and tablets. I previously bought a small charging station, which barely fit my laptops and tablets. However, after a laptop slipped off, I considered making a larger one.

This charging station consists of a top cover (laptop stand) and a box. The interior of the box can accommodate a Ugreen 200W six-port laptop charging module, approximately 101mm x 101mm x 34mm. There are two sets of tie-down posts on either side of the charging module. A 20mm strap can be used to secure the module.

On the front of the charging station box, I have created some cable guides to allow excess charging cables to be neatly wound. Considering that most charging cables are now Type-C, I have also added some recesses for Type-C charging heads to fit. When not in use, the Type-C cables can be neatly plugged into these holes, preventing clutter on the front panel.

Assembly Guide

Install the charging module into the box and insert the power supply through the rear power port. If using straps, secure the charging module with them. Insert the charging cables into the front ports of the charging module and use the buffer to adjust the cables to the appropriate length. Route the charging cables out through the long slot at the bottom front of the box. Test the connection.

Slide the lid in from the side until it fits snugly against the box. Place the laptop or tablet on top and plug it in.

Function is very good but top surfaces at every location (top of dividers, top of upper platform between the dividers, tops of walls on base unit, tops of pegs, etc.) on my print and visible in your example prints are less than ideal. I also have the same banding issue at the level of the USB-C openings that are evident on your prints. Adjustments to the print profile would likely fix these and improve the overall quality.

Brilliant design, I made two of these and had slight curling up on all 4 corners on both parts, I thought this was due to my bed not been clean enough so gave it a good clean ready for the second attempt, still happened on second one. That said, this didn’t stop me putting them together and they work perfectly. Thanks for sharing!!👍

Glad you like this design. Yeah warping is a pain for model this big. I always use my stickest plate but sometime it still warp. Luckily it didn't affect assemby.

@Printer360

use some glue if it's a problem.

@kaochan

I did have some print quality issues, and am worried about placing devices down where they go, as it is rather rough, even with sanding. I'm thinking of dropping in (and I could upload the profile) tpa "pads" for scratch avoidance. Do you know what curvature is at the base of each "slot"?

@delock

I checked my fillet radius is 5 for the top piece. Can you share a picture of the rough place? Thanks!

@kaochan

Replying to @delock :

Thanks for the info! Printed in petg. I've done a fair amount in petg with different brands with no real issues, but it could possibly have been my error in some way. These were taken after some significant sanding, otherwise it would have been too rough to put devices in there. I hope this helps!

@delock

Replying to @kaochan :

did you encounter warping? warping can cause toolhead to scratch the top surface. I met rough top when I have warping.

@gromayv

Very neat and tidy design, really liked this one a lot. I made a few small tweaks to better fit my use case: -Reduced the top dividers down to only 3 slots instead of using all of them. -Left some flat surface space because I also charge things that are not flat like flashlights, kitchen lights, speakers, Ring batteries, etc. -Added some small 3D printed wattage tags on each USB-C port just as a quick reference for output power. Everything came out great and it keeps the setup much cleaner and easier to organize. Thanks for sharing the design!

I like your mod of the top plate, giving it more flexibility, thanks for sharing!

Long, but easy print. Fits an Anker prime charger model A2683 perfectly. Superb design!

Printed in black PLA without any issues. Installed an Anker Prime Charger which fitted just fine.

@user_1728608950

you used PLA even though the print was for PETG?

@user_3772090833

Replying to @user_1728608950 :

Sure, no problem.

nice touch with the color change on top. Makes me want to reprint my top piece LoL

@vedax

Printed great in black PLA. I used the print profile of the one with the holes, and otherwise went to 0.2mm layer height. I integrated an Anker Prime A2683 without issues.
