Advertisement Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 Hi benqui, Take a look here I designed a charging dock for my Leica M11. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!

Much appreciated. Please let me know if you have any questions once you printed it. If you think there might be some improvements I'll also can make adjustments to the model itself. Any feedback is welcome. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscdsc Posted July 13, 2023 Share #23 Posted July 13, 2023 FYI those magnetic USB C connectors you see on the market are not part of USB spec and many of them are poorly made. They are known to damage devices so I would avoid them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenverSteve Posted July 19, 2023 Share #24 Posted July 19, 2023 It took my daughter a week to get this printed and a few days for me to set it up but, here it is. It's a great design and I hope Fatih sells the design to Leica and makes a great deal of money. Welcome, dear visitor!

JPizzzle Posted November 16, 2023 Share #26 Posted November 16, 2023 First, just want to applaud Fatih for creating this! Very much needed! Question for those who've gone ahead and had this made. Would the material scratch the finish on the camera? I have a new m11p, so in the early stage where I worry about it marking up with the expectation that it will over time since I don't baby my gear. lol I know Fatih mentioned potentially lining the inside with some material, but I would imagine that the dimensions would have to change to accommodate a lining. I don't use an SD card since the m11p has more than enough storage for me. Ideally, I would love to use this dock to make charging/transferring photos easier. TIA! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially, I didn't think about commercializing it. But I had to buy 3D CAD software to design this model, which cost me $299 (It's Shapr3D if anyone is interested). So I thought I could sell some to recoup at least the money for the software. However, the logistics of selling this design are also not easy. I don't live in the US, and it looks like most of you live in the US. I could provide the 3D STL/3MF files, and there are many online 3D printing services. So I decided to provide a way for people to purchase the 3D model: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1503331554/leica-m11-charging-dock You can print it at home or from a 3D print service. Some you could use: https://i.materialise.com/en , https://www.hubs.com/3d-printing/ For the cable, purchase a UGREEN branded 90-degree USB-C cable: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Charger-Compatible-Matebook-Nintendo/dp/B07PLYZ7J3 (they are also available in other countries' Amazon stores, such as Amazon.de, or Amazon.co.uk). Order at least two if you want some redundancy for future usage. I don't know if the pricing is good, low, or high. It's an experiment. Please let me know what you think. Note that I'll pay up to %20 commission, so I'm left around ~$55 (just an estimation). So I have to sell at least 6 copies until I can make the money I paid for the 3D software. That seems fair to me. I might add if I had an M11 I would buy into this, it looks darn good and is a credit to you. I bet it is far superior to my pretty darn useless Q3 wireless charging unit which comes with a brick of course and is one of the most fiddliest things I have tried it is going back to the shop as next to useless. Give me an external charger and swap batteries in camera any day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
idusidusi Posted November 16, 2023 Share #28 Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) Would it be feasible to modify the inner bottom to include a space for two of these or similar magnets? My two here are stick to a steel cabinet. You would need to put two round holes with recessed edges to drop two magnets through and they would then have to be flush with the inner part of your case. The magnets obviously facing downwards on the bottom of the case should be able to be made to connect with your metal case. Welcome, dear visitor!

rf15e Posted October 30, 2024 Share #29 Posted October 30, 2024 I really love this design. It looks fantastic. I saw it on Etsy but I didn't buy it. I want to but it is not showing up anymore. Did you remove the listing or are you not selling the drawing anymore? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nameBrandon Posted November 15, 2024 Share #30 Posted November 15, 2024 I hadn't seen this before, thanks @rf15e for bringing it back up! @Fatih, how can we purchase the STL these days? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatih Posted December 8, 2024 Author Share #31 Posted December 8, 2024 Thanks everyone for their support. I had a few family errands, and unfortunately hand't time to respond here. I received many personal e-mails on how to get the charging dock. I finally re-published it and made it available on my personal Gumroad page: https://fatiharslan.gumroad.com/l/leica-m11-charging-dock Thanks again for all their support, and please let me know if you have any questions or find any issues. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalHeMan Posted December 8, 2024 Share #32 Posted December 8, 2024 Hi Fatih, This looks good. Just to understand, if I purchase this for the $71 that Gumroad requests, am I paying for the physical item, or the digital pattern? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatih Posted December 8, 2024 Author Share #33 Posted December 8, 2024 @DigitalHeMan thank you. Yes it's just the Digital File. Gumroad takes around %20 comissions, and of course there are taxes on top of the final price. Physical dock unfortunately is a whole another venue for me. Hence you can download and print via a friend, or you could use a third party printing service. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T I N O Posted December 8, 2024 Share #34 Posted December 8, 2024 Great work @Fatih 👏 Would be lovely to have one made out of wood! I'm sure that would sell really well if done nicely.. Maybe you can find a workshop in your area that's be willing and able to mill a prototype? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tseg Posted December 8, 2024 Share #35 Posted December 8, 2024 (edited) Nice. I opted for the built-in mount. Welcome, dear visitor!
