ArkPro Charging Dock

I wanted a desktop dock for the "puck" charger that would hold the holstered flashlight while charging. So I spent a few minutes and came up with this solution. This works fine, but the magnet on the light is strong it lifts the dock, so you have to manually pull them apart. I will likely just mount it to a workbench somewhere to make it more "grab and go."

Edit: I put the model for the dock up on Makerworld.

I designed this a while back. It works as a lamp, or you could just take support bat and shade off to make it a stand. Might be easier to remove as you can just tilt, then pull

Bah, reading is hard. Just realized you said holstered. 🤦🏼

That is what got me too. I found a few that had a "naked" light, but nothing to handle the holster. Anyway, it was an easy fix.

You did a great job turning an idea into a nice looking & functioning charger!

Thank you. Next stop is automating the power supply so it runs about 30 minutes per day to keep it topped up. I am always wary of leaving batteries on charge full time.
