This is a quad-station remix of the MagMad 3D Printed MagSafe Stand. The cutouts fit the original Apple MagSafe chargers.

I used the Prusament PLA Prusa Galaxy Black for this print. This print is too large for the Prusa bed, so I split it and used a dovetail joint. The joint is not tight, so you can glue it if you'd like (I prefer to be able to split in case I have to move it.

This model uses painted-on supports. The 3mf and bgcode files contain the painted-on supports, dovetail split and pause to insert washers.

There are 4 cutouts in the model for embedded washers - each cutout takes three ASC ¾" washers. ***Please note - I highly suggest using a caliper to measure the thickness of each of the 4 stacks of washers. I found that there is quite a bit of variance in the thickness of the washers. The stack must be slightly under 10mm (ideally 9.8-9.9mm) thick. It took a little mixing and matching, but anything 10mm or over will not clear the nozzle. Also, it takes a little force to seat the washers fully in their slots. LASTLY, I recommend warming the washers (at least body temp) and once they are in, coat the top washer in each slot with a thin layer of glue stick to help the filament stick.

Finally, with the embedded washers, the stand is heavy, but I would recommend rubber adhesive feet on the underside to prevent it from slipping on smooth surfaces.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I used the original MagMad model to create a 4-station version. Each charging section retains the slot for washers for a weighted base.
