I am glad you liked the original, and love the improvements you made to the design! The extra details really add to it especially the radiating supports (don't know why I didn't think of that) and the base really did need to be a little thicker.
I actually just made a phone dock myself out of a bunch of desk clutter. I used a laser cutter with birch plywood instead of a 3d printer though. I took an old goose neck lamp, tore the lamp off, added an RGB pc fan where the old light was on top of the goose neck. the base is a hexagon, with a USB C port in the top, with some LED circiutry effects on the top. 3 of the sides have functions as well. 1 side is a 110v wall outlet, one side is a 4 port USB PD hub, and the front is the phone dock, which has a lever and button mechanism that turns on RGB strips on each side of the phone to show its charging when its plugged in. There are also 2 buttons and 2 knobs. the 2 buttons control the led presets, and turn off the lights (respectively) the one knob controls the fan speed, and the other knob is actually 2 knobs stacked together, one controlling the led brightness, and the other controlling the current presets palette. All the LEDs are controlled via an ESP32 running WLED. You might want to look into adding LED's to your projects using WLED (which is free) using a $5 ESP32 microcontroller. You don't really need to know anything about coding or electronics to set it all up. It's very DIY'er friendly.
wow that sounds like an amazing project! Do you have any photos up anywhere? YES I use ESP-32's all the time with wled love em'! Thank you for watching
This is awesome and looks fantastic! @WalterBranning great model! @tha_factory_of_fun your painting skills are fire🔥🔥 I Immediately thought that the vault door would have a wireless charger built into it. Possible design change....just sayin..

Your model was awesome!! It was a key inspiration to this, and I owe a ton of the design to you. Thank you!

Great idea!! I think you are onto something
