Phone Holder for Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 with slot for LG WCP-300 wireless charger

There are already a huge number of smartphone holders out there yet I couldn't find one that fit my specific phone and wireless charger, so I made one. This model has been specifically made for the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 in combination with the LG WCP-300 wireless charger. Customisations include the 'lip teeth' which stop this slippy phone from sliding to the left or right, a lip depth that means the slider mechanism can be used while the phone is docked, a speaker hole, and an angle that means the camera's pointed at my face when it's sat on my desk for face unlock and video call purposes. Thanks go to David_J for their dock that works with the LG WCP-300 and included dimensions, their example also helped me figure out OpenSCAD: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1030748 Todo: - Put the thing upright before exporting - Improve the rounded foot joint - Add a cable holder for the wireless charger's cable V1: it printed! It needs tweaks before it's fit for use though. Photo album's here: https://imgur.com/a/jZHfeb6 The critical tweaks are: - deepen the USB port channel, currently my microUSB connectors are too thick to plug in - Adjust the angle to be shallower, partly for better camera angle, partly because the phone keeps slipping off the shelf! The other issues that are evident from this prototype: - 'lip teeth' could be taller - 'lip teeth' could be wider for a more snug fit - opening for top-half of puck shaped charger needs bringing in by 1-2mm - Corners on the base need rounding, as-is they're pretty sharp. V4: - Printing now, V2 got rid of the major issues but I moved the lip teeth in a bit too far so have needed to take those back out by 0.5mm. Apparently bringing the upper puck radius in 2mm was too much also to the point where the model is bending when I try to fit it in. I'll leave it at 1mm and live with the gaps. Updated pictures coming once V4 has printed.
