Job ID: 40626127

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
