WhoopStor V3 DN40 Dock

Storytime…

It has been a long few weeks since I started working on this project, and I'm excited to finally release it!

As some of you product designing/3D printing enthusiasts might have guessed, this concept was heavily influenced by one of the greatest industrial designers - Dieter Rams and the Standby Dock, created by Scott Yu-Jan, one of my favourite product designers on YouTube, in collaboration with OVERWERK.

After a few iterations of the design, experimenting with potential features while balancing the overall design language and functionality, we have arrived at this version, ready to be used for the first time. This is by no means the final version as there's always room to improve and I'm constantly having new ideas to experiment with. But after some delay to the original schedule, I've set a release deadline for myself so everyone can enjoy it!

So, if you would like to stay tuned for future updates on the dock, please follow me here!

About the Dock

This is the v3. It carries the familiar look of the DN40 clock, with a few facelifts to fit the design criteria.

In Scott's dock, the iPhone takes up very little space at the face of the dock, although the push eject feature is a genius move, the placement had to be greatly modified to fit the thicker dimension of the charger.

This version comes with 4 different battery storage systems: 300, 550, Hybrid and Openback. Their details are as follows:

• 300: fits 300mAh or smaller 1s Li-po
• 550: fits 450mAh, 550mAh or smaller 1s Li-po
• Hybrid: features 3 columns of 300 (15 slots); and 2 columns of 550 (10 slots)
• Openback: highly requested and the most customisable of all. some compartments are already included.

As for a built-in 2s slots version, it will be coming on the next update. Since the WhoopStor and the ToothStor share the same housing, you're also encouraged to design your own compartments to fit the batteries you currently own.

Gridfinity models are also included as requested by testers

Filenames:

• Base

• Compartments

The sizing of the compartments is as follows:

[X] x [Y], while

[X=1] is the total length of the Openback

[Y=1] is the total width of the Openback

If [X] and/or [Y] are not a unit fraction, i.e. 0.75 and 0.66, you'll need to do some primary school maths to make them whole.

However, if it's a unit fraction (i.e. 1/x, 1 as the numerator), a whole number is used

Examples:

Four “[1x4]” used

Top: [0.66x0.66], [3x0.66]

Bottom: [1x3]

this might be confusing to get used to, but it's easier for future customisations I promise.

Openback Specifications:

From the feedback gathered at Infinity Loops, the Openback option was a highly requested feature. I've already created a few parametrically designed compartments.

If there's a specific compartment design you would like to get made, please don't hesitate to DM me.

Any Openback compartments MUST fit inside the dimensions as shown below:

Custom Features

It goes without saying that there are lots of ideas for new features waiting to be experimented. I've got a list of them, however, if you would like one tailor-made, please don't hesitate to DM me.

Note for Printing:

• Pusher with Full Fractal Engineering logo may be difficult to print and may result in poor quality even for high-end consumer printers
• Add support for the pusher's sides. Support of higher than 45° may be needed for poor-performing printers

Print Settings:

• Printer: Bambu Lab P1S
• Filament material: PLA/PETG/ASA/any non-flex
• Layer height: Default or finer
• Wall Loops: ≥2 loops for strength
• Wall Ordering: Outside to Inside
• Supports: Yes
• Infill: 10-15%
• Infill Pattern: Gyroid/Hexagonal/Tri-Hexagonal
• Nozzle Temp: 220±5°C
• Bed Temp: 55-60°C
• Travel Speed: ≥100mm/s
• Normal Printing Accel.: ≥4000mm/s²
• Rafts: For poor-performing printers
• Brim: For poor-performing printers

Miscellaneous:

• Anti-slip tape/feet
• Extra weight: all free models have a hollow volume between the pusher and the battery slots for material saving. Extra weight can be added. Dimensions for mould making are as follows:

Equilateral Triangular Prism: 51.00*110mm; Fillet (exclude top edge) radius: 4mm

Next on the update list:

• Built-in 2s slots
• Magnetic underside cover
• Magnetic front cover
• Carriable compartment with lid (stutangfpv)
