SpaceX Landing Pad Qi Wireless Charger

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

Does what it says on the tin. Fast wireless charging (Max 10W). No electrical knowledge or soldering needed. Screwless design, just glue in the PCB and coil, the 2 halves snap fit together. Works on any Qi compliant device, I've used it with an iPhone 8 and my Samsung Galaxy S9. It can fully charge my S9 in around 3.5 hours.
The top half is a multi-part model. I sliced in PrusaSlicer and printed on a Prusa MK3 without an MMU, if you want to do the same go to my upload here:

To secure the PCB and coil, I used some hot glue. A good 2 part epoxy would probably secure it even better but I used what I had at the time and it seems to hold fine.
