Finalized Stem, Made Minor Edits, Uploaded to GutHib!

As much as I loved working on this project, the time has come to submit it!

Let's see if my 3d printer gets to work his behind off tonight!

Finished Modeling Stem.

Inner Diameter of Stem: 28mm, made to friction-fit inside of the housing - everything's coming together very well; I should be ready to submit this project for review soon and then I can print it!

Finished Base CAD Design!

The base (2 parts) is officially finished! I spent waaay too long using Fit Point Spline to recreate a custom logo - I think it looks good - there was definitely a more efficient way of doing it, but the logo had quite a few background artifacts that I was unable to remove, so Fit Point Spline it was!

The bottom of the case also has some text and magnet holders that should help the stand stick to a metal desk! :D

I finished those magnet holders as well; here they are:

Tomorrow, work starts on the stalk!

Started CAD Design

Today, I designed the holder for the MagSafe charger itself, which also just arrived in the mail, meaning I should be able to revise and test this part of the charger later tonight!!

I also made a cover to hide the cable:

Initial Brainstorming And Research

The first thing I always look for in my projects are problems that needed solving; this was no different. In my household, USB-C and Lightning cables are constantly being juggled around, and I was getting quite sick of not having a way of charging my phone. Additionally, the holidays are coming up, and I wanted to design a thoughtful gift for my father, who, with a Lightning port, only has one cable to charge his phone. I wanted a design with MagSafe so that the phone could be mounted in either orientation, and I had the idea of making a floating design - obviously a floating phone will just topple the 3d print over, so I designed the print around a few weight blocks that I had lying around! Sadly, Apple's Accessory Design Guidelines are a bit confusing; but I think I'm getting the hang of it! When I get home later, I'll begin with the case in Fusion.
