Take advantage of the Lightning cord as an Airpods Pro charging dock

Currently, I still stick with Airpods Pro 2 Lightning - beautiful, convenient, good music listening and durable. There is no need to upgrade yet because it still meets my needs well. So I decided to make a 3D printed charging dock to refresh the usage experience. https://www.facebook.com/reel/2202731434458853

Normally when charging Airpods, I plug in the cord like this

And I drew a 3D charging dock to hide the wire inside

The mechanism simply inserts the wire from the bottom and has a groove so that the wire is hidden behind

The plug is used to fix the cord so that it does not get pushed out when the Airpods case is plugged in

The feeling of plugging into the Dock like this is much more comfortable and better

At this time, the Dock will be both a charging place and an Airpods display stand

I drew and designed this dish with Shapr3D software on the iPad, and the printer is Bambulab A1 A small change but makes the experience of using the product new and more fun hihi Link to download print version here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/3418547-airpods-charging-dock#profileId-3894929
