Absolutely. I absolutely hated the inconsistent layer lines back when my ender 3 was still stock. After modding/fixing the z-axis to be quite literally perfect, I can print layers as thick as 0.40mm and the layer lines still look really nice. I've had friends ask if I printed a part with 0.10 layers when it was actually 0.20, because the lines just look so so much better when it's consistent.
@@Iisakki3000 say more, what did you do to get the z axis perfect? i've also found that consistent layer lines are more a smooth xyz movement rather than extrusion
@@feliwein_cclook for what is the source of z wobble in your printer and minimize it. Just redoing the couplers can affect it or doing oldschool tube coupling or printed couplers. If the z rods are warped you're kinda effed. Just making the frame more rigid with bracing can help too.
So true, my first custom designed printer had perfect layer lines, after make much modifications I lots it somewhere and eversince try to get those back 😢
I would argue that the average person does NOT like layer lines. The AVERAGE person associates 3D printing with inferior production standards and thus it WOULD be important to minimize that look.
@@Dewabarasunderan He does it in every video. Can't really blame him, they do have a big 3D farm, but I can't take him seriously since that UA-camr chair fiasco...
I’ve been a long time subscriber of scott’s videos… When I watched that one, I thought the only thing that would’ve made that dock better might’ve been an acoustic port to enhance the speakers maybe 👍🏼😎
i personally dont think this design would be of great use in the market, the design looks great no doubt, but people use different cases on thier phones, so either making the design to fit all the case sizes or the user would need to remove thier case daily...
Only problem with the dock for me is it doesn't allow any space for a phone case. Most people have their phone in some kind of case and they don't want to take it out every night. I don't know how you would make extra room for cases because there is so much variation. love the design otherwise.
I took his CAD file and modified it for my wife’s phone case and a cheaper Amazon MagSafe charger last night. It was done on the printer this morning. One thing to do with this is make a version that’s sized for the ProMax with a large case and then have different bezels that snap on for different phone and case sizes. Then you don’t even need to reprint the body when the phone is upgraded. Just make a new bezel for the new phone.
Yeah he design it for himself not to everyone and that’s just how he does things on his channel tho on the upside he gave the stl to make it work for anyone
@@smug_slime Yeah that's fine. I found one on makerworld and edited it on fusion (no experience required, he made it that easy). You do need calipers however. I wanted to use it with my case on so I adjusted accordingly
Show, don’t tell. This is not a podcast. I don’t want to hear generic advice that could apply to anything, just using Scott’s popularity to get more views.
@@inventorofmachines it’s an advertorial. He’s subtly informing fans of the dock that they can get the files from Scott and have it printed here. I would also point out that it’s his channel so he can do what he wants and you should vote with your clicks
I agree wholeheartedly. Scott’s designs are top notch and this is elegant in it’s simplicity. Great stuff. As an Engineer I have to agree with you as well. I dig the line, where I see convergence, in artistry and engineering.
Layer lines can also be hidden on a lot of prints by printing external walls first. I've almost completely stopped using fuzzy except when I need texture for something.
I think he should create an iPhone mag-safe-compatible case, so your iPhone doesn't stay caseless, or you needing to remove and attach a case every single time you want to take your iPhone in/out. And to hide the magsafe - have some "curtain" that moves out of the way when the iPhone is inserted and moves back in when it's taken out.
What? You just make the phone slot slightly larger? And phone case companies give you dimensions of the cases. You can customise the print to your configuration
I literally downloaded the fusion file and modified and printed last night to fit my wife's iPhone 15 pro with the case on. All I could hear in my head while modifying the CAD files was Gabe's voice complaining about no chamfers on the print bed side and the necessity of supports.
I made my own version for an iPhone 15 Pro Max using an Anker Mag safe charger. I didn’t bother with an eject button as I liked pushing the screen to eject.
Layer lines are mostly a cosmetic thing and whether you like them or not, it's a benign opinion. But layer lines for anything hygienic or food-related is not great.
This video could have been 3 minutes long if you cut off the repetitive points. You keep mentioning your 3d print farm and that it's made by 3d printing :o
100% agreed. Its a very nice design. I like it so much that i am currently trying to model my own version of it that fits my iphone 12 mini with its case
I agree that the initial video was amazing. Also, one of the viewers did a video describing the “parameterized” version of a Fusion 360 file. She spent a GREAT DEAL of time reverse engineering the design and backing into the stored dimensions. Unfortunately, this is not a parameterized design. It’s made up of a group of literal dimensions. And, since the design has several “Scale” features, the dimensions you enter get changed in the course of the design. If the file had User parameters like PhoneWidth, PhoneHieght, PhoneDepth, ButtonHeight, CaseThickness, it would allow infinite modification. I started working with it to get it to print with my iPhone 15 Pro with a case, but when I replaced the literal dimensions with my parameterized values and functions, I ended up breaking one of the scale features. I’m not taking anything away from the original author or the Fusions 360 volunteer, just sharing my experience.
4:00 the cable that comes out of the magsafe charger needs to be supported, or it will soon fray and short out. It needs to go straight for like 10mm before curving away.
I agree with 99% of the love of the design... my 1% that differs is that this design does NOT take into account that most iPhone customers have a case on their phone... almost no one walks around with a naked iPhone... so, in this design you have to take your case on and off? That is a hard stop for me and I am sure most others out there. To make this design 100% positive, it needs to address this fact, and allow cased iPhones the same ease of use.
I think that the biggest issue with designing it to accept the phone with the case, is the fact that there are so many different cases. Even though they look the same, dimensions can be just slightly off and then it won't fit. Making it parametric could be the way forward, so that the user could easily edit the dimensions
Wrong. - he did give credit to Rams - this is not Ram’s clock. Rams did not design an iPhone charging dock. Obviously the external shape is from the (credited) clock but Scott designed the dock.
The point of industrial design is to be the interface between art and mass production, industrial designers are the ones who problem solve the design to create a final producible product. Engineering is called in to scale the technology required and insure standards are met.
From my experience, most of my friends and colleagues still associate "poor quality" with the layer lines that come from a 3D-printed process. They believe that the lack of perceived "smoothness" is indicative of a quality-control issue, even if it's a common outcome for printed goods.
A cut out for an actual charger. Some round hole vents at the back to prevent heating Those holes could have leds to act as night light whilst you sleep. Dimmable by an app.
to me, 3d printing is useful because if item I printed I accidentally broke, I can reprint. and also probably redesign a bit if something needs improvements. (almost everything I print I design myself)
I wish you had tired a print in place version to demonstrate it. I think also printing it in a nonwhite cooler with the white charger does make it uglier than if it had been in white. Good take.
I like this design except for one thing. Fast wireless charging emits a lot of heat. You need to dissipate the heat. So vent holes are a must. Maybe they need to add holes for small copper tubing to passively attract the heat a bit more and send it through ventilation holes on the top. The design is also big enough to accommodate a slim fan. Add some feet to the bottom and direct air flow to the back of the phone and have the vent holes for upward air exhaust. Does this over-complicate the design? Probably, but you pretty much have to unless you make this more of an open air design to their doesn’t need to be active airflow
His stand also has a watch and airpod charger that can only be used for airpods. The airpods can charge on the large magsafe, so the priority for the tiny watch chargers in my house is for watch, first. I don't have a spare $40 for just airpod charger, and if I did, I'd make sure to have a stand that can take both anyways. Scott's design just seems silly to me, it only looks good in his video, I would find it a fail item for my habits.
I hate designs that always leave out something, like cars with zero clearance for wheels, and you're like wow, that's so sleek until you realize, the tire needs to bounce. In this design the IPhone is missing it's case. No one has an iPhone without a case, so his dock needs to be custom made to fit whatever case you bought for your iphone.
I have never ever bought a phone case. They are cheap feeling and ugly. The idea of a case is to keep the phone looking good but always covered up with a case. Makes no sense.
both white and red version is from same stl yet that layer lines in red is quite visible . is it because of lighting ? or the bambu lab a1 is that good by default ? what
Brooo, you’re totally missing two major defects here. So, I’ve got a $1,200 phone and I’m using a $10 Temu case, which is MagSafe. The thing is, I shouldn't have to take off my case just to stick it to the dock, that push thing right there is a kind of scuffed for the 1,200$ - that’s a huge issue, man! Also, the bottom speakers are getting covered up. Can you check if the alarm sound even plays properly when the phone is docked? These are two big problems for consumers, and I don’t get how you just missed them, bro. #Engineer @ #Master!
I printed it and I would change the fitting of the MagSafe. It’s too loose. There should be a springy section on the clamping ring holding the MagSafe.
Problem with this thing is that if you have a phone case it won't fit into the dock anymore and it's unfeasible to take your phone out of its case everytime you wanna dock it
It probably wouldnt be that hard to mod it to your case. Its just that every case is different and needs the care and attention to make it for the case proper. Just make sure if you remix it to pay it forward and upload the resut so anyone with your case can have it too, good stewardship.
It is almost perfect but it violates Rahms design rule "Good design is as little design as possible" I don't like the push button, the version without is much better.
nah gonna have to disagree and say most people hate layer lines and 3d printed layer lines are pretty cheap feeling no matter what the difference wit h grain in wood is that it can feel very smooth to the point where you dont feel the grain at all
The design is interesting but of very limited use because it cannot accommodate phone cases, which do not have uniform size, and it can only be used for one size of phone. E.g., it can't work for an iphone pro and an iphone pro max. The design could be modified by making the opening large enough to accomodate phones of varying sizes (including their cases), and by supporting the phone solely by the magsafe charger. The empty space around the phone be somewhat disguised by using black filament as the background.
It's a nice design but the big flaw is that everyone uses phone cases and they're all sorts of sizes and iPhones have multiple sizes too. If you were going to sell it then you would have to at least create one for each size phone and possibly another of each that leaves room for cases vs no case if you want it to fit well on all combinations.
I absolutely hate layer lines especially from the 3d printed stuff i got for my sim racing wheel. It's like the guy i got it from barely did any post processing. His work was sloppy that's why i hated it
Do people really don’t use phone cases or I’m too poor as a consumer… why not mention make the dock variant with a bigger hole to fit phone with a case. not look as nice but a very big group of target audience.

That was part of my question though, How would anyone that has a case use this thing!?
It wouldn't fit!
