Post by Madelvic » Tue Mar 19, 2019 11:11 pm

Thought I'd share; printed on a 3D printer and using an off the shelf Belkin charger costing £20

Excellent! I have searched for something like this before and was surprised to find nothing available, I thought someone would be making them.

Does the phone stay well enough aligned to charge when the driving gets spirited?

Good comments, thanks.

A few answers: I've not tried it with 'spirited driving' and suspect some mod would be required to keep the phone in place

I can make the patterns available on Thingiverse if anybody has access to a 3D printer. I'll have a think about printing/making more, covering cost, though likely to be a few quid only plus postage

I believe it will work with Samsung phones; this is the wireless charger I used without modification, it just sits snugly in the printed frame and plugs into the cigarette charger via a (Belkin) usb charger
