Wireless Charging Install

[JediSamReye]

playing with a couple designs, I am also looking at a couple different chargers, and seeing how it would be to adopt this design to use other chargers.
I am on the fence about the tension design, there are complex tabs that make you push it down to grip the sides of the interior tray.
But I scaled down the original design about 3% (so it can fit on more build plates) and also it still sits on the ledge on of the cubby.
And it stayed in placed when testing slides, still fine. My concern is picking up the phone, and the magsafe strength might pick up the print. I was thinking maybe just run 3M double side tape on the bottom and call it good. Still deciding.

Once I get this to a point that I like, anyone interested in paying shipping and I mail you one, can give me any feedback?

I'd be glad to test one out.

One day I'll get time to build one that uses the new Pixel Snap charger along with a slot to put the Wireless AA into that will keep any lights visible and buttons pressable on it. But I still not had time to finish my GMRS radio mount. Maybe to save a ton of time I should see if OpenSCAD can load STLs to create the code that I could that feed into an LLM agent and then have it merge them into a new OpenSCAD script to output as STL. I have the OE EU wireless charging slot from Ford for my Focus, but, Pixel 10 Pro XL doesn't fit it while in the case. Also, no air flow around the phone in the pocket means that a hour or two into a drive the phone will stop charging for thermals, well at least that was an issue I had with my Pixel 6 Pro, I've not really used it with my Pixel 8 Pro or the current P10PXL, maybe that new battery by-pass so that the charger can directly power the phone and not move the power through the battery first could prevent it from getting as hot as fast.

I extended the arm to more up the hump. And pushed the puck out more, that is pretty close to I think the “good enough to try it” phase.
at this moment I put one piece of 3M double sticky tape right at that slope. Just a little more hold when you pickup from the plate.

Ok, I will pick up more filament (I burned a bunch in R&D) also it was mostly grey.

Also one thing to note, I have been testing with the newest generation of magsafe puck, its type C charging, and has a braided cable. The generation before that is slightly different size. My design can be adapted to match any of these chargers pretty quickly. I have been thinking about doing the best qi2 one I can find. I havent looked too much into them, seemed like the anker ones are good. I am interested in the idea of them being active cooled but will have to see if that changes how I can press fit them in.
