Description
This is a positive and negative template of the samsung galaxy S22 designed to mark out the ideal location for a magsafe ring.
Magsafe is an apple invention but is likely to become the basis of a universal standard of magnetic wireless attachment. the ring of magnets allows it to snap onto wireless chargers so that they locate perfectly and charge faster, it also allows easy docking into magnetic holders like in your car etc.
For this system to work the magsafe ring has to be allined with the wireless charging coil inside the phone. so i took an Xray of an S22 and a model of a S22 and used them to plot the coil location inside the phone on a 3d model.
This allows you to place the magsafe ring perfectly around the location of the charging coil so that they work together perfectly and don't interfere.
The negative model allows you to stick a magsafe ring direct to the back of your phone.
these rings are just a ring of metal, the magnets are in the dock.
The positive model allows you to put the printed model inside of your case and see where the magsafe should go inside of a phone case.
This is why i did this project as you can see from my photos i used this to mark out the location on the inside of my phone case, i then cut out the thin liner of the case to make just enough room to stick in a ring of magsafe magnets (cheap to buy) if its going inside of your case you have to use magnets rather than a plain metal ring.
this has now turned my phone case into a magsafe case and means i can use the magnetically attached chargers and docks. as its on the inside of my case it doesn't even show and doesn't have a lump on the outside etc.
Size differences,
as you might notice from my photos the gap i cut for the magnets is bigger than it needed to be, this is because the plain metal rings are bigger than the rings of magnets which i didn't realise until after printing, although magsafe is a standardised system its not 100% so before printing measure the ring your going to place and adjust the model (adding at least 1mm tolerance)
