I needed a MagSafe charger for a phone and also was looking for a project to try out Wood PLA with.Combining the two produced this simple design. It prints in place and comes with 2 variations on the base: One filled and one hollow. I printed the hollow base and filled the voids inside with plaster of Paris to give the charger a very nice weight and additional stability.To finish the charger you need a MagSafe charging disk that are available online for 6-8$ a piece. This is the one I used: (https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Wireless-Charging-Mag-Safe-Replacement/dp/B0CQT6BHPN?th=1)They are probably all very much the same, so if you already have one just make sure its 56mm in diameter which leads to a nice press fit without requiring glue. Get a disk with a USB C connector on it, which threads nicely through the base.Screw or Glue on the base cover plate to hold the cable in place. Add some felt pads if you're using screws to not scratch your table surfaces.The Top piece I glued into the base using some Construction adhesive, but super glue will probably work just as well.I sloppily painted the charger using a Gel Tint for wood to create a wood grain look and gave it a final coat of Polyurethane to finish it. It really does feel and look like wood from afar (Make sure to use concentric Top and Bottom fill).I only used supports for the inside of the hollow base, but I could have probably printed it without it, since the voids are filled with plaster and an ugly surface finish inside would not matter here. Don't recommend printing the base upside down, as the soft rounded corners will create very shallow overhangs. The Top piece fillet stops at 45°, so it does not create that shallow overhang when printed on the charging surface.
