Design & Print Desktop Stand for Wireless Charger in Tinkercad

[@ritacachia1416]

Thank you so much for the video. Very easy to understand for a beginner like me who's trying to learn from scratch to make items for my grandchildren. Keep up the good work 😊

Awesome tutorial! As a creator I love seeing tinkercad tutorials out there. I think people are intimidated by CAD and this is an awesome way to get them started!

[@BV3D]

Hi SamuelMennega! Thanks, I like designing stuff in Tinkercad. I find it a lot more approachable than Fusion 360. I need to watch more Fusion tutorials so I can get more comfortable using it. But I still love working in Tinkercad-it's where I do most of my designs.

[@trolling4dollars816]

Very nice video of a practical print. Thank you.

[@BV3D]

You're very welcome! I was pretty happy with how the whole thing came out. It looks super nice in that Proto-Pasta Empire Strikes Metallic filament. 😍

[@JohnBorlaug]

Wow Bryan! You must be an educator in real life! Even tho I haven't 'played' any TinkerCAD, I really appreciate your style of education! Looking forward to more! :D

[@BV3D]

Haha! Hi John! I'm not an educator by trade, but as an IT guy, it comes with the territory at times. Thanks for dropping in and giving this one a watch! Happy to have you as a subscriber! 😀

I use Tinkercad for just about everything. Still need to do videos of my projects... keep up the great work!

[@BV3D]

Same here, Vince. In the video I did most of the sizing using the inspector panel because when you resize using the handles on an object, Tinkercad doesn't track the changes. It would still think a box was 20x20x20 even if you had sized it to 30x10x80, and then if you try to apply a radius to the edges, it looks weird. I had thought about doing a radius of 1 and a step count of 1 to get a nice edge on the parts, but in the end I think the design looked OK without doing that. Make videos! I'd love to see some! 👍

[@ScaldaYT]

Well that was another great video. Also that Christmas Jumper is EPIC. I hope you and the family have a great Christmas. take care of yourself

[@BV3D]

Hi Scalda! Thanks -- I'll be wearing that sweater on Christmas day. Merry Christmas to you and yours, and have a happy New Year! 🎅

[@TD3DMakes]

Hey Bryan, that turned out great! Articulate and eloquent as always. Thanks for sharing!

[@BV3D]

Thanks Thierry! I'm glad you liked it! 😀

[@PotentPrintables]

Nice video Bryan! Sweater stole the show though :)

[@BV3D]

Hi Ali! Thanks - My wife got that sweater for me and I love it. I wish I'd had it in time to do the unboxing for the December Alien3D UFO box! 👽

[@UDoIt2]

Was that octolapse that you took that timelapse with? I need to figure out my settings. That print is awesome Bryan!

[@BV3D]

Hi John! It was, indeed! OctoLapse was updated recently, and has a lot more settings to fiddle with. Mostly, it wants to know about your slicer settings so it can do a better job of figuring out when to snap an image. The one drawback to it is that some filaments will leave wispy little hairs behind as OctoLapse moves the extruder out of the way to take a picture. But I think having a nice, stable timelapse video outweighs that issue. I've been thinking of setting aside one printer to be the showcase printer. Maybe set up a science-fair trifold background with a neutral pattern and some good lighting. The trifold would give me a good place to put stickers from filament manufacturers and other cool YT channels, as well! Lastly, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours! 🎅

[@JAYTEEAU]

Great stuff Bryan. "resorting to other antics" at 2:55 was quite funny. All the best for Christmas. Cheers, JAYTEE

[@BV3D]

Haha! Thanks JAYTEE! Merry Christmas to ya! "64 sides ought to be enough for anybody!" --Bill Gates, in an alternate universe. 😆

@@BV3D 10 minutes to Chrissy here. Nice reference BTW 👍

[@Wiles3D]

I absolutely love your sweater Brian you win the award of the ugly sweater contest I guess oh yeah nice video to I like it😂😂

[@BV3D]

Haha! Thanks Mike. I don't usually wear sweaters, but I really do like that one. 😂

[@zimmy1958]

Hey Bryan great job there. thanks for the tips

[@BV3D]

You're very welcome, Zimmy! I appreciate you stopping by and watching! 😀

[@madmike8406]

Thanks for the video!

[@BV3D]

Hi Mike! You're very welcome! I appreciate you stopping by! 😉

[@brithawkes36]

Great video Bryan good work and great idea 👍

[@BV3D]

Thanks! Sometimes I see a thing and inspiration strikes. That's what happened when I saw that charging disc. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours! 🎅

[@paulcumber4732]

Have a happy holiday my friend

[@BV3D]

Thank you, Paul! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too! Thank you very much for the Christmas card, it was nice. 🎅

[@3dgussner958]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year

[@BV3D]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours! 🎅

[@TD3DMakes]

Also, I'd be interested in seeing how you modeled your room/furniture if you have the time!

[@BV3D]

I'll definitely make a video about doing that in Tinkercad. It's really cool to see a room modeled in 3D, and move furniture around within the space. It's certainly a lot easier than moving actual furniture around over and over. You can try different configurations until you find one you like, and only then do you need to move things around. 😄

[@corlissmedia2.0]

Good morning!

[@BV3D]

Good morning to you too, Mark! (Although as of this writing, it's evening!) 😄We've been doing last-minute Christmas things around here!

[@corlissmedia2.0]

Me too! Merry Christmas. Check your PayPal. I sent the touch!

[@corlissmedia2.0]

That was Great!!!!!

[@BV3D]

Thanks Mark! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 👍

[@welbot]

Good stuff as always! Keep up the great work!

[@BV3D]

Thanks Welbot, I'm doing my best! I need to buy a copy of your Star Destroyer model and see if I can get that printed out. Maybe I can do a "Spacecraft Saturday" series or something! 🚀

[@Bluxii]

really nice video!

[@BV3D]

Hi Blux! Thanks! This one was fun to do, and I'm still using that charging stand. It's two feet to my right! 😄

[@jahjr1989]

well made!

[@julianmiles6604]

I designed a stand with wireless charging for my iPhone and watch, mounting the phone sideways so it would work in the bedside mode overnight. Unfortunately there is a problem with wireless charging that often results in the phone getting too hot and stopping charging. I am now redesigning it with a fan to try to overcome this problem. 😢

[@1augh0utL0UD]

Great video! What would be the best material to use if the charging pad has to be enclosed? I have charging dock at home for my phone, watch, and AirPods but it's designed poorly. I'm hoping to pull it apart and design a whole new stand! But I also don't want to burn down my house lol.

[@permithurple47]

Does it work with Samsung?

[@3dgussner958]

Where did you get the motor scissor?

[@BV3D]

Haha! I needed chainsaw scissors to get into that stupid package. I understand that manufacturers have to package things so they're hard to steal, but oh man what a pain! I'm glad I had the linesman's shears. Serrated blades on scissors are awesome. 😆
