Console10 Phone Dock Faceplate — 2U, Pixel 10 Pro XL (v0.2, 2026-08-08)

Source: C:\Users\john_\dev\Console10\Console10_phone_2u_faceplate.scad STLs: C:\Users\john_\dev\Console10\stl\Console10_phone_2u_panel.stl C:\Users\john_\dev\Console10\stl\Console10_phone_2u_lever.stl C:\Users\john_\dev\Console10\stl\Console10_phone_2u_ejector.stl

2U (253 x 88.9 x t3) slant faceplate holding the CASED Pixel 10 Pro XL landscape in a recessed pocket, wireless charger puck flush in the floor (magnetic hold), and an airlock-style pull-down lever that ejects the phone off the magnets. Blender demo scene: ...\scratchpad\phone_eject_demo.blend (session temp — re-buildable from build_eject_anim.py pattern; kinematics below).

Key dimensions (all measured, no guesses)

  • Phone WITH case (John, 2026-08-08): 169 x 81 (81.6 at buttons) x 11.4; camera bump 13.62 thick, 26.4 wide. Bump position NOT measured → both floor ends relieved 36 mm (cam_end_relief_w [TODO-verify]).
  • Pocket: 170 x 82.6 x 12.4 deep (0.5 clearance/side; buttons govern height). Bare phone fits looser/deeper — intended.
  • Charger puck (from PixelTabletFrame charger_puck.scad): D60.1 x 8.9, bore D60.6 through the floor, friction boss behind (puck_clr 0.25/side).
  • Mount: cheek slant inserts, wide pair mount_y = [6.35, 82.55], Φ5.5. Panel mounts at slant s = 133.35 (above the 3U macropad panel; holes land on the 139.70 / 215.90 rows). At s=0 the 6.35 row has no hole (front gap) — use [50.80, 82.55] instead.

Eject mechanism

Lever on the right wing rides an M3 x 35 axle (+ nyloc — nylon-insert lock nut so lever action can't back it off; leave it snug-not-tight) in two lugs behind the plate. L-handle: arm through a rounded track slot, 26 mm grip bar reaching OUTBOARD (never overlaps the phone), knurled knob, parked 45° up / pulled 45° down (90° throw). handle_R = 37 puts the knob ~1.5 mm off the face at both ends of travel.

Crank disc on the hub carries a D5 pin at R = 7.62 that drives a slotted boss (close-fit in push direction, elongated +y for the arc) on a stem routing UNDER the tub end wall to the ejector plate behind the RIGHT relief window. Plate parks 2.62 below the floor plane (camera bump clears → phone stays reversible); travel = 2.62 dead + 5.0 push. dz = 7.62·(1 − cos θ). Pushing the lever back up positively retracts the plate.

Print & assembly

  • part="panel" — face-down, no supports.
  • part="lever" — as exported (bores vertical), no supports.
  • part="ejector" — face-down; SUPPORT the stem+boss beam (~30 mm cantilever ~8 mm up).
  • Pose the assembly in the GUI with LEVER_ANGLE = 0..90; part="assembly", mocks via show_phone / show_puck.

First-assembly tune points (single constants at top of file)

  • Boss slot pin clearance: +0.6 on pin_d — the load-bearing fit.
  • Stem-under-wall gap: 0.5 in stem_top0.
  • Puck friction: puck_clr = 0.25.

TODO v0.3

  • Detent/latch at the locked position (magnet or bump) so the lever doesn't flop.
  • Puck retention nubs if friction ring is loose.
  • Verify camera-bar offset ≤ 36 mm from the phone end (with case).
  • Cosmetic: raised bezel around the lever slot (airlock-panel look).
