NOt sure f this was happenign to you but my phone would charge and then 30 seconds later stop. I do product design and own a number of 3d printers so I figured I can solve this and I did. I 3D printed this possitioning insert and now the charging works everytime all the time. This was built for an Apple Iphone 12 Pro with a magsafe case around it. It is currently printed out in PLA but I am going to print it out in ABS or polycarbonate so it can stand up to heat. PLA will deform. Anyway thought I would let people know this solves it.

A solution a lot of people have been looking for. Nice work. Are you planning to share the file? Or going to try to make some money?

I have the iPhone 12 Pro Max with the Apple MagSafe case. My car hasn’t arrived yet but I would be very interested in buying one of these if you’re willing to make one and sell it.

I think the max pro will not have this issue because I think the dividers they have on the tray are built for bigger phones.

Not sure there is money to be made with this. I just posted the files, they are for the iphone 12 pro with the magsafe case around it. I posted STL, Step and solidworks 2020 version i case you want to modify. I just want to point out that I would 3d print it in polycarbonate or ABS so that it can handle the heat. Standard d print material will warp in the hot sun.

Or smaller phones. My iPhone 12 Mini doesn’t have this problem for some reason.
