New day new 3d printing project for the bike room.

On the printer today for the better part of 7 hours will be a new charging station for my cycling workshop in our basement.
The old one was from Sharper Image and didn't really fit my needs anymore with its size, shape, or general device storage when thing are charing or not in use.

So I started with a box and lid I grabbed off of Printables and customized it to my dimensions to hold the power strip in the orientation I wanted and customized the lid for the cleanest cable routing I could come up with for the (4) USB's that will come out of the top.

The main things that will be plugged in on top are:
1.) My SRAM AXS 4 Port battery charger for cycling derailleurs, uses a USB-C
2.) (3) USB charging cords for cycling light and Garmin computer charging
3.) One small wireless charging pad

On the inside is a small power strip with 3 USB ports and 2 120A outlets where I have an Anker USB-c plug for charing my MacBook.
On the side I will use a command strip to mount my USB-C dongle like I do today that runs to a few TV's I use for indoor cycling training via HDMI and also has USB-C charging.

On the back I'm leaving 2 larger (1-1/2") holes to run power cables into as I'm not 100% set on where it will ultimately live on the workbench.
