Wireless phone charger for my model S

[gcgp]

Just wanted to share with the group. I couldn't find a wireless phone charger for my model S that I liked so I decided to just design my own. It slides onto the lid at lifts up in the middle console. I designed it so that, with no phone being charged, I can still close the lid. I'm not really good at 3d modelling so this is very simple but does what I want it to do. Sorry about the messy floor. He he.

Nice device. Now 3d print yourself a vacuum cleaner.

I'm planning on doing that soon. Been testing it to make sure nothing funny happens. You never know.

Nice job.
What charger is it?
(Can you charge your ophthalmoscope off it?
What about a laryngoscope or ECMO pump?)

Very interested in this. I've been designing something similar in my mind but don't have 3D modelling experience nor a 3D printer. Glad you've made it reality!

While on the subject of phone charging, does anyone know of a USB-C cable that will drop in place of the iPhone one that comes with the Model S? I've read that Model 3 comes with one, but not having any luck sourcing one that will ship to Oz (and at a reasonable price)

Doesn’t any USB —> USBC cable work?
Eg this one
Anker PowerLine+ USB-C to USB 3.0 0.9m with Pouch A8168H91 (Red) | Cables & Adapters |

Yes it does but I'd like the special one with the right length and 90-degree plugs that fits inside the console

I use this one. Had to trim the USB-C end slightly with a blade to make it fit in the Tesla mount but it works brilliantly.

They don't ship to Aust - how did you get it?

I think this one ships to Oz. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B077Z7RRSJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_EFaXCb97P18W7

Note: when you trim the USB-C end with a Stanley Knife or scalpel etc, make sure you only trim the rubber off that you need to. Definitely do not need to go anywhere close to the metal. Use the Tesla lightning cable as a guide.

Purchased. Thanks for uncovering that one..
