bedside phoneholder with integrated wireless Qi charger by makibox850

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is a derivate of my formerly made bedside holder with cup and creative accessories stand.
The holder is designed to be used on 30mm thick bars.
----- THE END ------
Update:
Cleaned up the small part a bit. Have changed the shape of the chargers cave from cone disk to cylinder.
Shown in the pictures is the smaller version.
I had to reduce the size by a few mm due to limited build space on the CTC printer.
Edit the bigger thing to make it fits your needs.
Take care on adjusting the slot width, the disk mould esp. the depth, the USB plug mould.
Edit it online on Tinkercad:https://www.tinkercad.com/things/kDMaBQHJ5xo-bedside-wireless-qi-charger
The parts:
the big part size: 162x141x40mm
the small part size: 162x131.5x40mm
The small part has been printed out on my CTC Twimaker succesfully.
See the pics.
The story:
Now on strong demand I have redrawn and made the thing with the integrated Qi-charger disk.
The dimensions allow holding some phones bigger than the iPhone5.
Some from LG and many other manufacturers will fit.
The Pulesen Qi-charger disk has a halfway cylindric shape.
diameter 93mm
thickness 7.5mm
powered by Micro USB
The receiver coil integrated with the receiver matte should sit round about 75mm away from the right side wall. This has been the case since the coil sits almost centered on the back of our phones (several models from different brands).
The receivers we are using on this disk and the much stronger Qi desk charger are Nillkin Wireless Charger Receivers.
Look for one similar to thishttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Nillkin-Wireless-Charging-Receiver-Charger/dp/B01M11UT3V

The used flat Qi-charger (max output 5 watts) is relativly weak but we have it working with my wifes Huawei P10 lite. Charging over night takes time but it works OK.
Not the best choice for powerhungry devices like iPhone.
Most of the time IOS blames the particular Qi-charger not to be a compatible accessory.
WARNING:
Please be aware of a certain amount of heat the charger and your phone make while charging at least.
This is normal. Warming up to lets say 40-45 degree Celsius is ok.
Do NOT cover the warmed up charger / phone with your bed blanket or pillow or so.
Printing out:
At low speed printing out took a long time. ca. 110g filament printed out
My recommendations and the settings I have used printing on FR4 Epoxy sheet
-ABS
-hotend temp 255 degree Celsius as shown by the display, (it may be much lower in reality, probably 30 degree less than shown)
(have set it a little less than usually used because of bridging and not having attached a parts cooling fan)
-bed temp 110 degree Celsius
-layer hight 0.3mm
-infill 15%
-speed as LOW as 30mm/sec (thanks to crappy shaky Chinese made CTC printer)
-allow bridging
-no raft (absolutely no raft, prepare your bed propperly, printing raft is huge waste of filament and time)
-no brim (allow it if you need it)
-no skirt (allow it if you need it)
-no support if your printer does bridging the 30mm slot width ok
