Thanks- I’ll check it out! I liked how simple TinkerCAD felt, and was hoping to use it, if I can, that’d be awesome
Something like that last image is exactly what I’m trying to do! I probably could have described it better.
I think it’s probably a bit more complex than I thought, and I’m not sure it’s doable it tinkerCAD (i couldn’t find any way to trim objects…perhaps i’m just missing it). I’m gonna play with windows 3d builder soon when I get a chance I think.
I’ll check it out. I liked tinkerCad when I used it, but it didn’t seem like there is a way to trim either object to do what I wanted, so I wasn’t sure if it’s the right tool. Maybe a little user error on my end, so I’ll look into it more
Edit: This is as far as I got in Tinkercad/Blender/Automesh – I had trouble actually modifying the shapes in any way in all programs (I am an absolute beginner at this, but I wanna learn and have access to a few different makerbot printers):
This is my crude sketch on what I wanna do.
This is the magquad holder I want to integrate directly into the case.
I don’t wanna stick the holder on my naked phone, and if I put the holder on the case as it is, it will likely be too thick to charge.
Thanks! This sounds a lot, but I wanna try making it. I like modifying things to suit my use, and this sounds like a fun learning endeavor. I’ll perhaps look at OpenSCAD. This sounds similar to some of the information I found on blender (making shapes to delete areas). I need to play with these tools to get more facile at doing this.
I don’t have a picture readily availble at the moment, but the stls are https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4935721 for the phone case (I just wanna use the right side) and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5704716 for the holder. It’s a little more complex than just a magsafe holder, it has a quadlock mount integrated.
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4935721 (right cover stl) and https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5704716 are the two files I’m trying to merge. I’m gonna try playing with windows 3d builder as someone suggested as well
Thanks, I’ll look at it!
I tried with tinkercad, and I struggled. I was again able to align the shapes directly on top of one another, but when it came to modifying the actual shape I could not figure it out- is there a tutorial on adding shapes together or anything, or even carving stuff out?
I looked and couldn’t find anything this specific. It seemed like a much easier tool to use, but I couldn’t figure out how to do what I wanted. I also used
Yeah, the 15w charging is only iPhone, and fast charging doesn’t seem to work – i think because of overheating mostly from my experience. This current setup the charger is closer to my phone than other setups, so I may try it, maybe it fast charging will work, but I don’t have my hopes up.
Hopefully with Qi2 these android users are natively included.
Edit: fast charging still doesn’t work with magsafe
