A few months ago, Scott Yu showcased a phone dock inspired by Dieter Rams’ iconic DN40 digital clock.

That got me inspired to create my own version, featuring a wireless charger from IKEA. The charger is integrated into a panel that slides into a slot within the dock’s body. Before assembling, the cable is routed through a hole in the back for a clean and functional setup.

Printed with Prusament PLA Galaxy Black & Prusament PETG Orange.

To top it off, I even developed my own Android docking app — because, why not? :D

      It’s that orange/yellow bar at the top I believe, it recesses and pushes it out. If it’s not that, there’s a button on top somewhere that does. That is if it’s modeled closely to the inspiration he was talking about.

    that’s awesome! I really like the little orange stripy thingy along the top, does that light up? How’s heat management with the wireless charging?

      Thanks - The orange thing on top is for pushing the phone out of the dock and it doesn’t light up. Would be cool though. This is my second print of this model (for my desk) - using my first one since ~1 month on my nightstand and haven’t noticed any issues

    That looks awesome. It’d be a nice change for my night stand any hope of you sharing the print file?

    Which phone is that? I’ve seen a ton of these, but they are all for iPhones. I have a Pixel 8 pro, but that’s apparently not popular enough.
