Diy Qi Charger

thingiverse

This is a DIY Qi charger case that I made for my new iPhone x. It is really compact and minimal in design. It utilizes a small and cheap qi charging circuit bought from eBay for less than 3 USD and a micro USB cable for 1 USD. See link down below. The installation process is really simple, 1 Firstly take away all the support material and sand everything down if you want to paint it. 2. Desolder the led and mark its orientation so that you don't mix the colors up. 2 Then use really small screws (i don't have the exact measurement for them) to secure the PCB then solder on the led in the right position and cut excess leads off. 3 Then secure the charging coil by putting its wires in the cable channel and just put it in its place. 4 Lastly, put the lid on and screw it in place carefully. 5 Done, you now have your very own Qi charger for 3-4 USD depending on if you buy the cable or not and where you buy the circuit. If you decide to make one of your own, pls share your new Qi chargers with the rest of us, cheers!
