3D-Printable Smartphone Charging Station Design
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Freelancer Project Title
Design a 20-Device Smart Phone Charging Station for 3D Printing (Fusion 360 / SolidWorks / Build123d)
Project Description
I am looking for an experienced mechanical designer/CAD engineer to design a professional-quality 3D printable charging station for mobile phones.
This is not a simple phone holder. The goal is a polished product that can be printed on a Bambu Lab A1 printer and later modified into a commercial-quality design.
The designer should have experience with:
Fusion 360 (preferred)
SolidWorks
Onshape
Build123d (bonus)
Product design
Design for additive manufacturing (3D printing)
Project Overview
Design a charging station that holds 20 smartphones.
The station will be used to charge, organize, and identify phones.
The final design should be modular, strong, printable, and easy to assemble.
Printer
Bambu Lab A1
Maximum build volume:
256 × 256 × 256 mm
The design should be split into printable pieces if necessary.
Phones
Design around:
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max with a rugged protective case
Approximate design envelope:
Width: 86 mm
Height: 170 mm
Thickness: 18 mm
Smaller phones should also fit.
Capacity
20 phones
Two rows of 10 phones
Required Features
Phone Cradles
Each phone should:
Rest at approximately 15° angle
Be easy to insert and remove
Not rest on the USB connector
Be securely supported
Have hidden cable routing
Cable Management
Design hidden cable routing.
USB cables should not be visible from the front.
Cables should route underneath the station to the rear electronics compartment.
Electronics Compartment
Rear compartment should hold:
One 20-port USB charger
Approximate dimensions:
152 mm long
102 mm wide
102 mm tall
Include:
ventilation
cable management
removable service cover
Touchscreen
Provide mounting location for a:
ESP32 CYD (Cheap Yellow Display)
2.8" touchscreen
The display should be flush mounted in the front of the station.
LEDs
Each phone position should have:
Number location
LED illumination
Space for WS2812B LED strip or individual LEDs
Numbering
Each phone slot should have:
Number 1–20
Prefer recessed pockets so translucent inserts can be installed.
Assembly
Prefer modular construction.
Examples:
Separate phone rows
Separate electronics tray
Separate rear cover
Hidden fasteners preferred.
Printing
All parts should print without excessive supports.
Avoid impossible overhangs.
Use fillets where appropriate.
Deliverables
Required:
Fusion 360 source (.f3d)
STEP files
STL files
Assembly drawings
Bill of Materials (BOM)
Preferred:
Parametric design
Build123d source code that generates the CAD model
Well-organized project structure
