rbandrewsI ordered a wireless charger for my new phone. Which is neat! You just set it on this thing and it charges.
Unfortunately it tends to slide off after a few minutes, which is lame. It slides until it doesn't charge any more. If I were to set an almost dead phone on it and go to sleep it would slide off and not charge, and my alarm wouldn't go off.
So I fixed it: I printed a ring I can set the charger in to tilt it backwards, so the phone doesn't slide off, or tilt it forward, so I can see the screen. It could stand to be a little shorter and black (it's currently purple), but it solves the problem perfectly.
This is what I love about desktop manufacturing: I can see a problem and solve it for myself, in about half an hour, without even leaving the house.
