Pavel Jelic Apple has come up with a new feature in its latest smartphones called MagSafe. Simply put, it's a circle made of magnets that surrounds the wireless charging coil on the back of the iPhone. With MagSafe, you can charge your latest iPhone 12 or 12 Pro at up to 15 watts, either with a special cable or with another MagSafe accessory. As for the accessories themselves, Apple started selling its own MagSafe Duo a few months ago – a double charger for iPhone and Apple Watch at the same time. It should be noted that this is perhaps the most expensive wireless charger in the world. The price is set at 3 crowns.

In a way, the MagSafe Duo replaces the botched project with the name AirPower. However, it should be noted that it is very different from the canceled MagSafe Duo wireless charger and, in combination with the price, it is not a product that would be among the popular ones. On the contrary, users often reach for competitors that are both cheaper and offer more interesting and practical solutions. However, if you are a DIYer and your arsenal of equipment includes a 3D printer, then I have great news for you. You can have the likeness of the MagSafe Duo charger printed, even optionally with the Apple logo. The mentioned analogy is a kind of charging stand, in the body of which you just need to insert a MagSafe charger and a charging cradle for the Apple Watch, which creates a nice and cheap double charger.

Since the MagSafe magnets are relatively strong, the iPhone is held on the stand without any support. However, in the case of the charging cradle for the Apple Watch, it was necessary to use the supporting part on which the Apple Watch is held while charging. As I mentioned above, MagSafe Duo normally costs 3 crowns. If you decide to print an alternative stand, you only need the MagSafe charger and the charging cradle. In the online Apple Store, you will pay a little over 990 crowns for both of these accessories, but the competition will cost you up to fifteen hundred crowns. All you have to do is take both chargers, place them in the printed stand, pull out the cables through the prepared cutouts and plug them into a USB or adapter. Printing the stand itself is a matter of a few crowns. All the data you need to print your own stand on a 2D printer, including printing parameters, can be found at ThingVerse website.

It will still cost a ridiculous 2k and you still have to have a printer etc.... ;-).
