Description
The MagSafe Compatible iPhone Stand is a practical and versatile 3D printable design tailored for users eager to fully experience the new StandBy mode in iOS 17 while keeping their device charged using Apple's original MagSafe accessory.
What gives this stand its unique edge is the enhanced stability from the weight of fifteen M6 nuts (13mm diameter, 5.5mm height). They're designed to be inserted into the base mid-print to be closed into the stand - the included gcode files have a built-in stop to make this step easy. I suggest using hot glue to secure the nuts and prevent any potential rattling, but you're welcome to get creative with other weight-adding materials of your choice.
Customization is at the heart of this design. The package includes the original Autodesk Fusion 360 file, empowering you to tweak the design to your liking, whether it's to use different nuts or make other design amendments.
The stand prints effectively in both PLA and PETG materials. For the best print outcomes, utilize the organic supports in PrusaSlicer 2.6 (included in the gcode files). Make sure to download the correct file for you printer and material. For a non-slip finish, a piece of rubber taped to the bottom of the stand does the trick.
Enjoy the versatility of this design and happy printing!
