MySupercharger - 3D-print your own smartphone supercharger

Maddin0r · Mar 7, 2016

Hello TMC fellows,

some of you might know my smartphone supercharger idea I posted here in 2014.

I decided to "open-source" all the details of my work.
So if you like, you can now print your own supercharger at home.

Here is a short "making-of" video:

I hope you guys like it!

Greetings from Germany

Made one. I didn't have the aluminum rod so I just printed some. Great design. Well done. Next up I will print the inner tesla with translucent red and try and light it up. Thanks for sharing.

Maddin0r · Mar 8, 2016

Cool!!!

Looks great.

What kind of 3D printer are you using?

cman8 · Mar 8, 2016

Folgertech kossel 2020

Thanks Maddin0r! Really like the idea. First Supercharger is being printed as we speak.

Really cool! Thanks sharing what you created. Also love the video. Have to find someone with a 3D Printer now...
Thinking about it - if you really want it to go viral - tweet it and see if Elon retweets. Or maybe someone here has an Email contact for headquarters? Think there is a chance!

For those of us technologically challenged, any chance you can share the plans for the aluminum rods?

I do not use Twitter but registred yesterday and tried to - but someone with more follower/reputation could tweet it to him.
I don't think he is recognizing me :wink:

Thanks for your input.

Yes absolutely. Pm me and I'll send over or shoot me your email and I can email the stl files.

How long did it take to print all the pieces?

If you print everything with the Zortrax as showed in the video you need something like 18h. Photo attached of a full Zortrax print.

But!!! Please note: the white parts you see in the video and on the pictures are printed by a service provider with in SLS - far more expansive but way better then FDM.
SLS machines costs 100.000€+

Hi Maddin0r, here's my work in progress.

I use the same Zortrax M200 (awesome machine!!!). Red inlay with ABS (0.09mm) and the white pieces with Zortrax Z-UltraT (color Ivory; also 0.09mm). All parts are straight from the printer, without any "afterwork" (just pulling off the fillers).

Looking great from where I'm sitting

Could make the white surfaces smoother with some thinner, but really couldn't be bothered, since it looks awesome as it is.

Great work!

You can't print thinner then 0.09 mm ... so this is the best the Zortrax can.

Nice, that there are people really re-printing it - love it!

Rick A. · Mar 11, 2016

Really like the design. All parts fit tight, without the need of glue. I only had to slice a piece of the inner white part, where the cable goes from the foot into the white part. Otherwise perfect design.

This is so cool! I don't have access to a 3D printer. Any where I can buy it (this, not the 3D printer:smile

?
