Lego Multi Device Charge Dock, Phone Tablet

build your own lego charge dock

i chose lego minotaurus sets as they include lots of single row bricks and flat tiles and the important base board, this dock required two minotaurus sets plus a few bricks lying around.

i chose to make for two phones and one tablet, make sure you allow for enough height in lego for the charger cable in itself, if your device is thinner than a single row lego width gap, you can overcome this by building a higher wall around your device, this will reduce wobble, i was lucky enough that lego fitted snug device width wise, you can see later one of the phones used hada dot view case on, i allowed for this but you can choose, thats the beauty of using lego.

once you have decided the device surface area, you need to build the cable run area for the charge cables

see how i have completed the template for my tablet even allowing gaps for the sound ports if required, used lego flat tiles when in contact with the device

next work out the where the charge cable would align with the device and tile other areas

see how the device is best aligned with lego

here is the cable area now prepared ready based on the devices you are going to use

next start to build the foundation for the chosen devices

building bricks to fill the gaps, based on my design

bricks filling unused gaps.

have allowed for sound ports on my tablet, but you can decide

showing build up of lego dock but not assembled yet.

showing cable area with tiles complete, cables to be mounted

next melt or drill the exact position for the cables, i found i had the mount between the brick snubs, i found it easier to cut of the underneath piller within the brick also for ease of charge plug mounting, i chose to use solering iron to melt the holes, then used the left over lego cuttings to melt the charge plug in place, i chose high quality charge cable from an auction site.

now complete, i cut the base board around the perimeter of the lego bricks, shown with a charge cable for each device, i have an 8 port mains usb charger unit.
