Product designers are mostly on Instagram and YouTube unfortunately. It's rare for people to write like me. But /r/IndustrialDesign(er) and /r/Design are good places for written communication.

You should be fine, go for it :)

It's not a lot, because I printed it with an infill of 10%. You can increase it, and make it around 40% or 50%. Some people also use sands to make it heavy. For now it doesn't bother me and I think because I'm putting other things on top of the tray, it doesn't move around easily.

OP Here.

1. In the blog post I actually worked on that for a few days. But I didn't like it as much I liked this one.

2. Unfortunately the default Apple MagSafe charger that I can use as a customer isn't easily bendable like that. TwelveSouth and other companies use custom parts, so it's possible to integrate them in a better way.

I did all my CAD work via https://www.shapr3d.com/. It runs on multiple platforms, but I use it on my iPad Pro. There are many other options, such as OnShape, Fusion, FreeCad etc.. However most of them have their own quirks

Onshape: It's public domain on Hobbyist plan, so anything I create has to be by default Public. The next plan they have is $1500 yearl

Fusion: This is the most recommended one, however it's macOS and Windows only. Their Hobbyist plan is pretty generous, but the UI is very slow on macOS and it doesn't have an iPad app.

For me, the iPad Pro is a huge enabler. I don't want to sit down in front of my MacBook because I already work the whole day. Second, with the Apple Pencil it's so much easier and intuitive compared to anything else.

The only ceveat with Shapr3D is the cost. I paid for the yearly subscription, which was around $299. And it's the cheapest of all of them btw.

I didn't say that, but that's ok :)

Yes! We don't have AppleCare Plus here, hence I have to use with a case. I designed it with a case in mind.

Thanks a lot.

Thank you, I'll look into it.

Yeap, so I added the instructions on Gumroad's page (where you download the 3D file). I printed it where the bottom is touching the plate. And support is minimal supporting the tilted part of the model.

It's actually very easy because it just pops out. It's the same thing as pressing down, you're just pressing down from the side. (I had both)

Yes, there is minimal support because the phone part is tilted. If you print with tree support, you should be OK.

Yeap, I was more active, but I only posted about my work there. I rarely post other personal things. I would post a lot more in the past.

Thank you for your kind words.

Rescaling usually doesn't work well because the MagSafe portion is static between all sizes. Hence, every custom sizing needs a custom re-design.

Thank you!

There are none? All the photos are straight from my Bambulab X1C. I used eSun PLA+. No special treatment was done.

Actually probably not. Does it have the same size as the 14 Pro ? If it's the same you can use it with no issues. All the orange photos you see are from an 14 Pro, so it should work nicely.

It's impossible because I made it myself and released today. Read the blog post please :)

I believe they want a minimum order of $1000 and only allow me to print it in a single color. Honestly, providing a physical good is a whole other set of issues with which I have no experience at all.

Thank you. Check this tweet out: https://x.com/fatih/status/1836691756965933084

There are two holes on both sides (for both left- and right-handed people). All you do is push slightly, and it comes out.

You're the third person asking this, so I'll add a section about it to the blog post. Thank you again.

OP here. Of course, there are commissions and taxes. First, you can download it for free, but you can tip (donate) any money. Say you gave $10; around $1.5 goes to Gumroad. And then, of course, I'll have to pay income tax on the rest, depending on your country.

OP here, yeap. Here is a list of books I have and recommend:

* Braun, Designed to Keep (Phaidon) * Dieter Rams (Phaidon) * Bauhaus (Taschen) * Dieter Rams, So wenig wie möglich (it's in German, but there is also an Englisch version, from Sophie Lovell)

TIL, I didn't know about it.

Thanks a lot for your support. A friend and I looked into the economics, but the lowest company willing to print was around $63. If you know of any services that provide 3D printing, I am happy to look into it.

OP here. I use a Bambulab X1 Carbon.

Haha, it was a typo. I fixed it now :)

Actually, both are used for pushing out. I made it so both left and right-handed people can use it. The cameras are already taken into consideration, and you can use them on both horizontal sides.

I'm working on a `Max` version, because a lot of my friends are asking for one.

OP here, check this photo out: https://x.com/fatih/status/1836691756965933084

Because there is a tray, you don't need any mechanism to remove it. It's just your fingers and hands.
