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.
What @chingadera said :)
It looks like the orange thing on the top pushes the phone forwards when pressed.
that's awesome! I really like the little orange stripy thingy along the top, does that light up? How's heat management with the wireless charging?
Thanks - The orange thing on top is for pushing the phone out of the dock and it doesn't light up. Would be cool though. This is my second print of this model (for my desk) - using my first one since ~1 month on my nightstand and haven't noticed any issues
That's awesome! Any chance you would release the docking app?
Maybe. Currently its just in a private GitHub repository. Would you want to install it from Play Store or be able to build and install yourself?
Whatever works for you. I'm fine with building myself, but an apk release would be more accessible.
You could even link it with the STL so people could find it as a complete package!
Obtanium is fine no need for playstore
Yes
Which phone is that? I've seen a ton of these, but they are all for iPhones. I have a Pixel 8 pro, but that's apparently not popular enough.
Its for my Pixel 7a (+case)
Thanks! Would you also care to share the model?
I plan to put at least the STLs it on Printables. But I'm a bit hesitant to share the f3d files. Maybe I'm going to add different sized STLs for different phones - like the Pixel 8 pro :)
Please do! I think your design should fit my 6a perfectly.
Very cool! Do you have the screen on for the entire night? Do you worry about burn in?
Yes, the screen is on until fully loaded. I've added a burn in prevention to my docking app, which just moves the clock from left to right and back over time.
That looks awesome. It'd be a nice change for my night stand any hope of you sharing the print file?
Thank you! I think I will put it on Printables. No promises though :)
Thank you. It is greatly appreciated.
Does your app launch automatically when your phone connects to the wireless charger?
Yes - but thats not something I coded, it is part of Androids Dreamservice
