I posted here a bit ago with zero 3d printing experience. You guys helped me mash this case together. I printed it, attached it to my phone, and it seems to work. It has a magnetic ring that I bought from quadlock, but it fits in the case, so it effective has both quadlock and magsafe capabilities. I reinforced the attachment points with 3m transfer tape, and it is solid.

My next project to print (which someone already has made) is a mod to convert the quadlock bicycle mount into a wireless charger.

Thanks all!

I'm very happy to see this community seems to be thriving here, and im impressed with how many people quickly engaged me with ideas on how to mash two things together. I've abstained from the old site since last May time-frame, and I'm honestly happy with the quality of interactions I've had here.

Congrats! Consider posting your designs somewhere else than Thingiverse. Printables is a popular choice, but there are others.

Thanks! I'll at it when I get time. I really hadn't heard of other sites besides thingiverse, and I am yet unaware of any nuances, issues or controversies about it.

Its nice to see other Android users using mag safe. I converted my family to them. Since it started on Apple I have a hard time finding magsafe wireless chargers that target android users. Most seem to work but they all advertise for iphone only and im always wondering if im getting the fastest charge for my Samsungs and Pixel.

Yeah, the 15w charging is only iPhone, and fast charging doesn't seem to work -- i think because of overheating mostly from my experience. This current setup the charger is closer to my phone than other setups, so I may try it, maybe it fast charging will work, but I don't have my hopes up.

Hopefully with Qi2 these android users are natively included.

Edit: fast charging still doesn't work with magsafe
