(work in progress) DIY Xperia SP dock

[Fido7]

Hello all! As i saw earlier in february a user had made his own homemade sp dock, so i taught to myself to make one.

Here it's my concept and the main idea was to be a minimalistic and modular easy to mount dock. The material that i'm thinking is plexiglass (not hobbyglass, most of laser cutting workshops won't cut hobbyglass because it's made with vinyl and also plexi is more resistant). Soon i'll upload the drawing with measurements and the cad file ready to be cutted, but i need to figure out a way to make a modular holding for microcharger without affecting the dock and to do this i need to build a test model first.

Cheers!

haha im glad i inspired you, that idea looks neat and i do happen to have some plexiglass which i can use maybe when i get some fee time i can post 2 guides, for the carger try getting one with a square plastic cover over the charging tip and then cut out the glass and sort of wrap it around you will get like a charging stick type thing and with that you can make a cut out in the stand in which you can put the cable

Cheers!

i had an idea where instead of using the 3mm plexi in layers with spacing you could use a solid piece and use a light diffuser so that the xperia sp lights diffuse into the whole stand lighting the whole thing up

I thaught myself, but i don't know where i can obtain a full piece, beside 3d printing wich is very expensive for this kind of diy project.
