Playdate Dock

Hi there! My Playdate finally arrived, so I immediately went and made a stand for it. Of course.

This stand features an integrated USB adapter to keep it as minimalist as possible. It's a little fiddly to solder and construct, but hopefully the nice clean lines are worth it. Here we go...


Tools and Components


You'll need the following items...

- Some nice, yellow PLA (I couldn't find an exact color match, but I got close!)
- Revel Contacta glue
- A hot glue gun
- Some clamps
- A soldering iron (with a small tip) & solder
- A small, flat-head screwdriver
- [Male & female USB C sockets](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BB68QYV9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)
- [Thin 4-core wire](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005EHY6M2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)

Construction

- Print out the parts (including the jig).
- Glue the plate to the back using Contacta and clamp it for 12-24 hours (be sure to get it the right way round).
- Take about 6cm of wire
