Description
This is an Amazon Kindle 2 docking cradle I designed because I could not find one available anywhere. I designed it to use a Startech right angle micro usb cable to help keep the height of the dock down. I purchased my cable from Amazon for under $10 amazon.com/gp/product/B001AR4NC8/ref=oss_product
One thing I should note is that this is too big to print on a Makerbot (155mm long) in it's current orientation but it might print if you flipped it on end.

I'm curious what is considered "successful" and how are you going to confirm that it's indeed printed in specs. cos free stuff always interests and instructions above leave many ways to cheat. :)

My friend rplumley made this on his Makerbot. My wife got hold of it and is now using it for her Kindle and won't give it back! I may have to do some cutting because the notch at the bottom does not line up with the power receptacle on her Kindle. I think she has a Kindle 2 so it should line up but must be off because of having to make it in two parts? Thanks for doing this design labmat, and thanks to rplumley for making it!
That is awesome to hear, I use mine everyday as well. although just like you I don't currently have a usb plug in it, but thats only because I discovered my X-axis was flipped, doesn't matter much when you are printing symmetrical objects.
