iPhone Dock

Description
Since I've recently pimped up my MakerBot with a heated build platform, warping of ABS isn't an issue anymore!
That said, be sure to print this either with a very strong raft, with PLA or with a heated build surface...
You'll need a standard iPod/iPhone 30-pin-connector/USB cable for this.

Tried to build on Replicator 2X, using white ABS, medium quality, heated build plate with and without a raft. Both prints failed. The start of the print seems 'faulty' as it does not lay down the first layer on the build plate / raft but several mm in the air!

This design is extremely good and I found the sizing very accurate. It fit my iPod with silicone case without modifications. Many thanks!!

I used the same chord that you did, however the opening was still a little too small. Just a warning that you may need to rescale the hole, or sand it wider.
I printed one, but it does not work. The iphone end of the usb cable are about 1mm thicker, and about 4-5mm taller than the one on the picture. So it is thick enough that I cant push into the hole.
So measure twice, before you print it. For me it is not working.
