thingiverse

This dock is perfect for individuals with multiple Apple devices to charge, including three iPads and two iPhone models. The file format provided allows users to customize the design using various tools, such as Sketchup. The designer has printed all three components, which function effectively - as seen in the photos. The dock is compatible with new Apple cables, offering an enhanced user experience through features like auto-release and cable strain reduction. Inside the dock, there is a USB hub that enables users to connect via a single cable back to their PC while also benefiting from fast charging on two ports. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use the D-Link DUB-H7 High Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Hub, which generates low heat and should work well in this setup. To simplify printing, the dock is divided into three parts. The designer used PLA strips and a soldering iron to glue the sections together, reducing potential issues if the printer malfunctions during a large print. For successful printing of complex objects, consider merging the top and bottom components and printing vertically instead of horizontally. This dock accommodates various Apple devices, including iPhone 4, iPhone 5, iPad 1, iPad 2, iPad 3, and iPad mini.
