A few months ago, Scott Yu showcased a phone dock inspired by Dieter Rams' iconic DN40 digital clock.

That got me inspired to create my own version, featuring a wireless charger from IKEA. The charger is integrated into a panel that slides into a slot within the dock's body. Before assembling, the cable is routed through a hole in the back for a clean and functional setup.

Printed with Prusament PLA Galaxy Black & Prusament PETG Orange.

To top it off, I even developed my own Android docking app — because, why not? :D

That's neat! How do you get it out? Is there a secret button?

It's that orange/yellow bar at the top I believe, it recesses and pushes it out. If it's not that, there's a button on top somewhere that does. That is if it's modeled closely to the inspiration he was talking about.

It looks like the orange thing on the top pushes the phone forwards when pressed.
