Purpose
- Wall mount (under lack table to be exact) a cheap USB charger
References
- Product reference: USB 4 Port Desktop Charger
- Self made design:
Actions
- Calipers to measure up the dimensions
- Prototyped with hexagonal holes to save mass
- Sped up to 150% print speed because impatient
- Print detached from print bed
- Forewent holes in favour of small solid bracket
- Printed a few at 1mm height to check dimensions
- Fit was good
- Basic double sided tape to prevent charger from sliding around
- Screwed into base of Ikea Lack side table

Observations
- Hexagonal holes add lots of print time
- Hexagonal holes add complexity
- Hexagonal holes increase the amount of high speed non-print moves
- Parts with very little bed contact area are prone to detach
- Screw hole size was perfect
- Didn’t need to be anywhere near as wide as originally planned (30mm)
