IKEA LIVBOJ Wireless Charger Phone Tray

Half-asleep, in a hurry, or maybe a bit tipsy? Making sure your phone is actually charging on your wireless charger is annoying. Fail to do so and that alarm might not go off and you'll be hunting for a charger all day. Dress up your bedside table, desk, countertop, etc. with this tray and never misalign your phone again!

The tray lip is designed to be slippery on phones and cases. The optional TPU bumpers and rubber + on the LIVBOJ work together to hold your phone in place. The result is a centering tray with a satisfying *thunk* when you slide your phone to the center.

The model posted has an ID (phone max diagonal dimension) of 163mm. This is designed to fit an iPhone 12 with a slim case (pictured). iPhone 11 and 12 (standard and pro), with up to a small case, will fit nicely. I'm sure many other standard sized phones will fit but I'm not Marques Brownlee so I don't have all of them laying around to test.

The included .sldprt is parametric for this diagonal dimension. Take one measurement, change one number in the model, and you're good to go for any phone! Only the phone/case diagonal (circumscribed circle diameter) matters here, not the height and width. Note that bezels rounded corners of phones are not always consistent so this diagonal cannot de derived from height and width, screen size, etc. The “-PROOF” file is a simple outline of the tray, allowing you to test fit your phone without printing the full tray.

--Materials--

The large tray can be printed an any plastic you want. The tray pictured is in Hatchbox Stone Gray PLA. All parts print with no supports.

I recommend printing the insert part in TPU. The one pictured was printed in NinjaTek NinjaFlex Shore 85A. It can be a nice accent in PLA or other hard material but the TPU makes tossing your phone into the tray very quiet. Note that TPU has a tendency to seriously stick to PEI print beds, especially in large, flat parts like this. Be sure to use a bed release like glue, or a textured bed rated for TPUs. The insert gcode provided uses parameters for PLA, slowed down enough to also print NinjaFlex. I figured most people would use one of those so this file covers both.
