Description
Is the iThrone and iThroneDeluxe a little too pompous for your iPhone? Want a more humble charging station? Then this is for you.
I didn't intend my entries for this contest to be a themed trilogy, but when I saw PrettySmallThing's Armchair I knew it would be perfect to balance out the iThroneDeluxe ( thingiverse.com/thing:18887 ).
UPDATE: Fixed the holes based on measurement data from an actual iPhing from ssvenn. Thanks ssvenn!

Instructions
I had to deform the original arm chair to print on a Thing-O-Matic, but to my eye it's not that noticable a change. Now this should print on a TOM. No support should be necessary either.
After printing, insert your charger in the hole, turn sideways and let it sit in the slot, then drop your phone in and let it rest comfortably while it charges.

I printed it in a flat green ABS, and it came out looking fine. My only problem was a cold bed, so the bottom corners pulled up and the bottom surface delaminated. , making it an iRocking chair. Still works, but a bit scary to put your phone in, and have it threaten to tip over. I'm going to print again once I have a warming solution (my BFB 3d touch doesn't have a heated bed.)
That's a big print to have to start over again. Why not just sand the base to a flat finish? A belt sander would help.
