Thingiverse request board
beverageexpert
request section anywhere on thingiverse for objects. If not I start it
with holding brackets for my dremel drill press. Im sure it is a super
simple piece. I am still tweaking my bot before I get into the whole
3d design thing. I do have a 30 day trial of autodesk inventor that I
havent cracked yet. Random side note I requested my free trial of
inventor and 3 days later my dvd's were at my house even though they
said 30 days. nice Oh well if there is a request board please direct
me to it, otherwise lets gets the ball rolling.
thanks

I have been wondering the same thing. I'd like a dock for my nexus but lack the cad design skills! I could probably knock out what you are asking for. I can do simple structural designs. Write out some details or maybe upload a sketch depicting the concept design and maybe i or someone can make it for you. If someone out there reading this would like to design a Nexus One dock that accepts there standard micro usb connector, I would love it!
Cheers!

I am always willing to lend my CAD services to the community. If you
give me a detailed description possibly with pictures I can try and
work something out. for you guys. P.M. me lats talk.

revs, you can just download it and make the necessary mods!
I just designed it last night and printed it out today. It's a bit
thick because I wanted to be able to pass through a USB cable that I
already owned, instead of having to source one that could be embedded
in the dock. Plus, those micro USB connectors have such a high
holding force that even getting them plugged in is tough.

Unfortunately the Nexus One has the micro-USB port in a sane place,
unlike the Droid. :-)
I'm also working on a Nexus dock, so if I get it working I'll post it.

So i got something made for the basic idea. Its very rough and it took my full blender skillset to accomplish but i think it will give you an idea as to what im after.
Thanks again!
Cliff you are welcome to give it a shot as well. Im just so horrible at Blender. I need to take a class or something. I wish TrueSpace made it to Mac and had continued support. I was decent with it. :)
Files:
Rendered image
STL file including just the base
Blend file with all my attempts :) May or may not be useful
Do you guys also need details on the MicroUSB connector?

with an unsightly solution and have the end of the cable hanging out
from the top of my dock. I redesigned the part last night by shelling
the heck out of it. It'll be interesting to see how the print goes
tomorrow. I can't wait to see yours!

bottom like that. You can actually have the whole bottom of the phone
surrounded, whereas in mine it can only cover part of the side (of
course, that's how it goes into clock mode though).
That's a pretty awesome job in Blender. I couldn't figure out how to
use that program *at all*. Just like Lightwave, Truespace, 3D Studio
Max, Maya, I could just not get the hang of its GUI at all.
Waiting for some print pics! :)

files on Thingiverse if / when it gets perfected. There's another
separate part that gets glued on, which sets the viewing angle and
houses the magnet to put the Droid into "clock mode".
Hopefully these images from picasa show up. I have no idea how to
post images into thread here!

Nexus or a Droid so I have nothing to compare.
Matthew LaBerge
The concept looks real good I like it. One thing, what file formats
can blender export? Pro/E does not seem to like the .stl file if you
can export a STEP file that would work better for me.
I would also need details on the MicroUSB connector you plan on using.

Sorry but i dont think Blender supports STEP files. I snapped up some pictures of the items which should be most critical. Let me know if it enough. Ive also atteched an OBJ and 3DS file with the export of the Blender scene from before. Thanks again! :)

insertion force spec, would prove to be a challenge when docking a
device without adequate guides. I can't confirm this since I haven't
ever docked a micro USB connector before. What do you guys think?
For the Droid, it has to be docked landscape, and since the workspace
of the MakerBot isn't large enough, my dock floats in the middle of
the phone in its landscape orientation. I made my connector float in
there because I thought it wouldn't work, but if it really does, I'll
make the necessary changes to my design as well.

Thanks for the dimensions. I'll work something up this weekend and
send it to you for testing.
I apologize that it has taken me this long to get back to you guys;
I've been overloaded at work and everyone including our VP of
Engineering wants to see my bot which has kept me busy during the
evenings with demos but at least it's kept me printing.

LOL! No worries Matthew. I understand. There is no time to rest in the life of an engineer. I have been relatively overloaded as well. Anything you can come up with is well appreciated. I am printing a copy of my design now. Check attachment for progress. It wont work as a charging dock but it'll hold it up for clock mode or something. :)
I'm dissappointed with the amount of warping. Looking forward to building a heated chamber.
Cheers,

I think it would be awesome to add a request feature to Thingiverse
where people could request items to be designed and someone like
myself with CAD skills could check a special page and design it up for
them based on their description. A lot of people have great ideas but
don't have the skills to turn them into a physical object, that's
where people like me can help.
Riley Porter and I had also discussed this with trading of services
too, I have access to a Bridgeport Mill and he has access to an Epilog
Laser. I machined an extruder mount for him and he in return is
cutting me parts for a Paxtruder.
Would be interesting to see what Bre and the Thingiverse folks think
about this?

Ponoko's arrival in EU makes for easier lasercutting for us at last, but it'd still be great if I could find someone out there in Ireland with a laser and a willingness to exchange use of it for printing or whatever.
I'd be happy enough to help out if someone had a neat idea they wanted modelled. Can't wait til I can broadcast that on the site. :)
