Garmin Edge phone mount with wireless charging pad

thingiverse

This is for my cold-weather indoor training setup. I need a way to keep my phone charged while in use so I designed this phone mount with built-in charging pad. I clip my bike into a Saris M2 smart trainer and ride along with others in Zwift. In order to enhance the experience, I cast my phone's display to the TV in front of my bike, so that I'm not always looking down at the smaller screen. I need to keep the phone in front of me, however, in order to interact with the app, such actions as changing course, signaling other people, and so on. I went looking for a phone mount that would accommodate this. Also, I wanted a mount that would keep the phone charged. An hour riding session will take my phone from full charge down to around 60%. What I ended up designing was this mount that allows me to snap a Mophie MagSafe wireless charging pad in place and which is based on the Garmin Edge-style mount I already have on the bike. This is the 3D printed result. I took measurements off of the Garmin unit and created the mount in Fusion 360. It is printed in PLA at 30% infill, 0.4mm nozzle and 0.16mm layer height. The phone is only held in place magnetically but it is firm. I wouldn't trust this outdoors on bumpy roads but it is perfect for this setup. I sliced this with the Garmin mount on the bottom, using supports. This entailed a lot of clean up but otherwise the part came out perfectly. I would love to hear if you slice this in a different configuration.
