I have a very similar(but much larger) model I use for my cutting boards.

You could put a strip of foam tape along the bottom of each cradle.

Foam tape is really really hard to remove right? When we would install batteries with it for devices, the 3M stuff was almost impossible to remove without damaging the battery.
I think your mixing up single and double sided foam tape, i beleive he is suggesting single sided foam tape to give some cushion to the edge of the phones.
Also the stuff in phones for batteries and other loose items is heavy duty strength because they dont want batteries coming loose and rattling about in there. Most double sided foam tape you get in a hardware store is just a bit sticker than regular sticky tape.
I've found that the best way to remove 3M's foam-backed stuff (both single- and double-sided) is to carefully pick up one corner, then use your finger to slowly roll it up one bit at a time. The adhesive doesn't really hold when only a small area is under stress, and it doesn't tend to leave any residue behind.
I don't have any tricks for the double-sided foil-backed tape, it's a right bastard to remove.
Maybe a dumb question, but why should I do this?
Consider optimizing the model to be printed on it's side so one full edge of every divider can touch the build plate. This would strengthen the dividers by making so the layer lines are perpendicular to the stress.
If done right, it could also eliminate travel moves and retractions and potentially allow for printing in vase mode.
My first wonder was how hard it would be to rig up a usb-c cable on the side of them and put a on off button with a light, so he could manually turn on off each cord knowing which are charging so he doesn't have to leave them all charging all the time. (Originally I was thinking flip it verticod and put a qi2 coil on each stand, but leaving them all on all the time would be a bad idea)
Oh im not charging them. This was specifically not supposed to be a charge station. I put this organizer next to a couple of charging cables and charge when I need to. I power down the devices when not in use.
Oh alright, that makes sense. A while back I wanted to make a coffee table and never got around to it so I think the wireless coils are always in the back of my mind. Basically to see if for the fun of it I could make a coffee table for the living room made of wood or mixed materials near designated patterns where essentially from the top it would look normal but if you put your device on any of the designated places it would recognize your device and start charging it. Not a fan of this color/design but basically if you had say this where if done right you could basically get a small charge on any square and potentially even get the magnet to work if done right. While reinforcing it so it doesn't structurally have any issues. Aka coffee table can be used normally, someone can spill something on it, no issues but also near thoughtless charging if anyone is in the living room.

It could even just be all the outside squares, where they lock in the center if the magnet works.
Mobile developer? or drug dealer? Hmmm.
I thought a drug dealer only had 2 phones but I could be wrong. Maybe like an extremely paranoid drug dealer would have more phones.
I don’t develop for mobile outside reactive websites
I just wanted to ask why exactly you need all those and why emulators don’t work well enough?
Emulators cannot re-create all the dumb bullshit and quirks that phone manufacturers put in there these days
Sounds like an android problem
Not every phone is as capable as an iPhone Pro Ludicrous. If you don’t want your software to suck balls, test with slower devices.
Every device in that pile (aside from the pixel 1 and pixel 7 which were my old daily drivers turned test device) was purposefully purchased because we got a report/logs of a bug on that specific device and had no way of fixing the issue unless we had the actual device.
This isn't the full stack of devices I have but these are the devices we've had problems with in the past and what I frequently test with these days.
Looks great. PETG good call
Curious as to why? Seems like a reasonable application for PLA.
From what I've heard, PLA sags when a constant force is applied. Phones arent that heavy so it might have worked here but technically since the phone is leaning against the plastic the entire time I guess it could sag over time?
I never liked PLA anyways since I primarily print functional studd and I have been printing exclusively in PETG once I got comfortable with it so I didnt really think too much about the material.
I see. I use PLA for lots of load bearing tasks and I don't think you'd see warping here. Nonetheless there's no real disadvantage to PETG other than slower print speed and fuzzimg if it's not kept really dry.
You mining crypto on those phones
Does... Does that work? It sounds extremely inefficient. I thought gpus were good at mining and I assume the cpus in these phones suck for that.
