MagSafe Stand for iPhone

Introducing the MagSafe Dock for iPhone, a sleek and functional charging stand designed to accommodate the Apple MagSafe charger. This stand features a slot and channel that direct the cord backward, keeping it organized and out of sight. The model is optimized for 3D printing and does not require supports when printed flat on the build plate. It has been successfully printed in both PLA and PETG HF materials.

Printing Instructions For Static Version:

• Orientation: Print the model with the base flat on the build plate, as shown in the provided photos.
• Layer Height: 0.2mm
• Walls: 3
• Infill: 15%
• Supports: Not required
   

I have also updated the original to include a version that folds for travel or when it is not needed. There are two models fitting both the newer 25W MagSafe charger puck, which is identifiable by its braided cable, and the original 15w MagSafe stand. This stand features a 3d printed screw that allows you to tighten the stand at which ever angle suits you best. When finished with the charger, simply loosen the screw and fold the stand flat. 

This model does require supports for best printing results. The internal threads are on the bottom piece and should be printed as shown. The top piece can be printed vertically or flat, depending on your preference for surface finish for the front face. I have had good luck with the following printer support settings. The model will require a bit of cleaning for the cable channel in the back and the space for the charger puck. I did this with a thin utility knife to gently scrape out any remaining support bits. 

A bit of super glue or similar bonding agent is required to attach the thumb knob to the printed screw.

UPDATE LOGS: 

• Update : Folding Version -This is the first working iteration of this hinge type, so it does take some force to get it tight enough to support the phone. I will be refining the model as requested or I think of improvements.  

   

• Update v11: I have added an optional model for your apple watch charger. Disclaimer, the watch charger spot is a snug press fit and can be difficult to remove. I would recommend using PETG or something with a little more give than PLA if you plan to remove it often. 

   

• UPDATE v10: By popular demand (sorta) I updated the model for a version that fits the new Apple 25w MagSafe Charger (2024 version). This is largely identical to version 9 but the older MagSafe charger will not fit in the 25w/2.0 version. I have also made the opening in the back a bit larger to press the puck out easier. 

   

• Update v9: I am back with a new version! This iteration has some more refined geometry for ease of printing and simplifies running the usb-c through the part. The slot is also moved to the back so there is no outward facing cable.
