Star Trek Inspired Phone Dock

thingiverse

This is my interpretation of ThinkGeek's April Fools 2016 product, the Star Trek White Noise Sleep Machine. Printing was the easy part; doing all the finish work to make it look like it was actually from The Next Generation was another story entirely. I documented the build in an imgur gallery, which should help if anyone wants to attempt building their own version. For the phone side, this project uses the "LCARS UI" app available on the Google Play Store. I also have a demonstration video on YouTube which shows the lights and some of the software functions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuYR8m5SDVc Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple Black Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 - 0.3mm Infill: 10 - 35% Notes: If you want to print your own, you'll need to print all three base_ pieces at a decent infill and whatever layer height you have the patience for. I did 35% at 0.3 layers. For the cube you need 7 copies of cube_cell, and one of cube_base and cube_core. These should all be printed in a translucent or glow in the dark filament, and at a low infill if there will be LED lighting added. You will also need 4 copies of cube_pin, and 28 copies of cube_spacer. If you want to do the electronics you'll also need led_mount, and the control panel with the switch openings. If you want to do a print without the electronics, use the blank control panel and just screw the cube right to the top of the base.
