iStation (Apple charging station for 2 iPads & 2 iPhones)

thingiverse

We had a real problem with clutter near the outlet used for charging 2 iPads and 2 iPhones. The iStation is capable of cradling/charging all of our devices by using the original Apple charging cables. Both the iPhone and iPad connector ports may be swapped for the lightning or 30-pin charging cable. Although I intended all 4 devices to be placed in vertically, we have opted to place the iPads in more of a filing format with the cables plugged in from the side. Instructions Obtain the following hardware: M3 machine screws (8 total; >=10mm) M3 nuts (8 total) M3 machine screw (1 total; >35mm) Print the base station unit (2 shells; 25% infill; PLA; 0.25mm height) Print 4 desired connectors (2 shells; 25% infill; PLA; 0.25mm height) Using a 35mm or longer M3 screw, pull the M3 nuts into the bottom cutouts from above the charging port in order to capture the nuts in place Affix charging cables to the respective connectors Mount the connectors into place with 10mm M3 screws Snake cables through traces in the underside of the iStation Place tape (masking or packaging) on the underside of the station to keep the cables in place. Slide your devices into place and start charging while also getting a bit more organized
