Description

This is a arm for a Magsafe charger or a stand which can be moved and held in a wide variety of positions. It can be mounted right side up or upside down. The clamp is 50mm so should be able to mount to most furniture   

-When changing the position of the arm, support or remove your device- 

 

Printing

Material: PLA (because it needs to be glued to metal it's best to pick a material that bonds wel with metal epoxy)

Layer Height: 0.20mm 

Supports: None

all other settings are the system presets for 0.20mmQUALITY/SPEED

“Screw Mount”  has print in place bearings so it may have some trouble with bed adhesion due to the the small service area of the bearing ‘cones’

 

Non-printed Parts

tools

  • Metal epoxy
  • 2.5mm hex key (for M3 Screws)
Parts
  • 4x ∅8±0,1mm rods Aluminium 200mm long (Other materials could also work as long as they can be glued. Brass, Carbon fiber, steel, etc. you could also make the rods longer or shorter if needed)
  • 6x M3 x 12 Screws
  • 6x M3 Nuts
  • 1x official Magsafe charger (or any wireless charger that can magnetically hold a phone and is 56mm in diameter and around 5.4mm thick)

Added for Stand version

  • 1x M3 x 20 Screw
  • 2x M3 x 12 Screws
  • 3x M3 Nuts

 

Assembly

Step 1

Tighten the M3x12 screws until there is no wiggle but it can still turn

 

Step 2

 

Step 3

 

Step 4

Assemble the arms first without the glue to check the fit and orientation. Then glue it with metal epoxy. Cleanest way to glue the parts is to add it in the hole of the printed part and then push the rod in wiping away any spillage.

Step 3 and 4 can be modified or repeated if a longer arm with more hinges is desired. Do keep in mind that it will be less stable the more segments are added

 

Step 5

Check the orientation, the two parts only go together one way with a M3x12

 

Step 6

Put the fastener cover on the fastener. you need 4 for the magsafe version and 5 for the stand version.

 

Step 7

Put all the parts together and snake the Magsafe in-between the rods an push it in the clip. 

If you make the stand version skip step 7

 

 

Step 8

Check the orientation and connect the two parts with a M3x20

 

Step 9

assemble the stand with two M3x12 and two M3 nuts

 

Step 9

Connect the stand the the arm.
