If you don't decide to actually ship the final product, would you consider selling the STL files for people to print and assemble themselves? That would reduce some of your logistical overhead but still allow people to have access to what seems to be an amazing project
Agreed here. I would happily pay a healthy amount to make this myself as I've been looking for a wireless charging stand and the one I mocked up doesn't look nearly as good as this..
And how much would you be willing to pay. Considering all of his work, design, R&D, Testing, and the many iterations he is not showing. :) I'm genuinely curious
@@Mookl_designI would do 10-20USD for a download. If he got 1000 downloads that’s 10-20k that’s not bad. Would easily help him get a small production going and some sales.
@@Mookl_design Very good question. I can create a new design for a happily paid good amount. With all the BG work. Ofc this would all depend on the price :)
Dude. Incredible cinematography ontop of the manufacturing process of this. Mat Armstrong might be needing some forged carbon parts for Rashford’s Wraith rebuild…I smell a collab 🤘🏻
Thank you man! Yeah I’m extremely please with how both versions turned out. I can’t get over how much depth the fibres have after the gloss clear. Had a lot of fun doing this part of the project! Thanks for watching!
I love to see how you go about the process. Even as a design student this is something which helps me look at my own work with such a new and interesting perspective. Thanks a lot
Thanks! Yeah there’s a fair few weeks of work condensed down. I think you can see me progressively looking more and more tired throughout the video haha. Thanks for watching!
First I have to say that I am truly impressed with the quality of your work, including your video production. This is an incredible time for people as creative and talented as yourself. For 37 years I worked for two small electronic manufacturing companies doing electronic product design. Due to the relatively small sales volumes for our products we had to design around the few of our custom injection moulded enclosures, or design around off the shelf enclosures. The recent availability of low cost 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers, 3D design software has really exploded the possibilities for someone to do this kind of work. Having said that, as I was watching the previous video (after finding this one), I wondered how much this personal project has cost you. I hope you can continue to post your work. I look forward to seeing what you come up with and how you got there. I retired a couple of years ago. My retirement plan is to spend more time doing purely personal projects. While some of my projects will be electronic related my main interest at this time is doing some metal casting. Maybe doing a electric velomobile project. So many possibilities.
You really are an artist with your hands dude. I enjoy your videos so much. It's nice to see others who have an insane attention to detail with everything they design 💪💪
It's seriously good to see the younger generation take on a project like this. While watching, I had many nods on my end of the screen, noting with few objections, this is almost precisely how I'd do a similar client job. While I enjoy forged carbon--and woven cloth would be wholly overkill for necessary strength--using exterior twill for your 'pretty' surface face, s-glass fiberglass for interior strength and a foam core, you can cut down the messier side of doing forged parts to just a few minutes of layup, sandwich and press into the mold. You'd be surprised at how much time you save using woven fabric over chopped, and that seemingly flimsy foam core makes a stunningly strong And light substrate once cured. You can get as fancy as you want in direction with the woven parts, choosing to directionally match the fabric weave directions like a hypercar, or just go traditional 45*, cut your squares with a little overlap and trim. There's not much post work other than necessary trimming and a light buff, but using patterns accelerates efficiency and reduces waste at the slight trade-off of prep time. Above all though, well done! 👍
These type of videos really do feel like a student submitting their work to a teacher with the way you describe and go over everysingle detail and it is amazing! Just outlining your thought process and how youre going about things just feels so refreshing
Why is mastery of an art so soothing to watch? Everything this guy touches is done perfectly. Work, video, sound. A pleasure to the eyes, the ears and the soul.
As a designer looking to get into creating molds of my designs, your videos are invaluable. Thank you so much for giving detailed insight into the process.
Thanks for that! I’m glad they’re helpful to people. You might find the follow up video helpful that I’m releasing next week where I go through making the printed matrix moulds for the flexible parts. Thanks for watching!
Terrific video. Really appreciate the attention to explaining details like combining the inserts into the mould - an issue I’ve been struggling with for a while.
I have little interest in your industry and the products you make, but that doesn't even matter, the quality of your videos just suck me in and are so entertaining! So good!!! Keep it up man!
Nice looking kit. Good job. I'd really like to see you go over your considerations when designing your 3d printed molds boxes. I really like the idea of a reusable mold box when making parts that you will be reproducing often.
You could make a new multi-cavity compression tool. If you upped the number of cavities to 4 you'd effectively reduce your production times to a quarter and can also therefore batch activities which overall will increase your throughput. Even if you made two 2-cavitity compression molds you could be laying up one whilst the other is curing in the oven and still see a large increase in throughput by being able to batch stages. Also, the matte finish is incredible. That's definitely the way I would go.
Damn, I wish I had $100,000 worth of equipment! This is my business that I’ve been doing for the past decade. The equipment has been invested into and accumulated over the span on the business.
Watching one of his videos making a molding a cast starting out of a CC router has inspired me. The only problem with my project is that it's a large project. It's more like a 20-in by 19 in. Is there any suggestions what I can do as far as production?
No over the top music. Simple, elegant cinematography. Clear and concise explanations. absolutely banging product design. Bro you're killing this game. Can't wait to see what you cook up next!
Love the whole process details and demonstration. Maybe consider a crowdfunding campaign with a max unit cap to better plan the quantities for the end product batch production
Thanks! I’ve always been the same. Ive always liked how Matt forged carbon was more subtle and not in your face, but here the gloss really does add something to it!
Brother! As always an amazing video! And as always, I learn something new! You surely are on another level from all the makers on RUclips! And the charger is the best looking one on the market! Crazy that we live in a time where a dude working by himself can outperform large companies with big design teams! Looking forward to the next video! Keep it up brother!
Amazing work in both the work around making the stand and the cinematography! I really want to try and get one of the chargers if you do a limited run!
Thanks man I appreciate that a lot, and the fact you also want to get one! I’ll have more details in the next video on availability etc, which is a couple of weeks away. 🤘🏻 Thanks for watching!
Absolutely amazing, both production-wise and in the way you executed your work. Curious about how this would translate into PC peripherals like keyboards and mice.
Quality beyond reproach as usual Reece, since you created my R8 audio install I've followed your progress. Setting new standards for excellence with anything you work on - I want one of the batch please........
I really enjoyed the thought and process that went into this. Only downside is that only the apple phones seem to have the magnets to hold it in place. Wouldn't work for my samsung. :(
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! I believe there are cases for Android phones that have the MagSafe array of magnets built in to make it compatible with a MagSafe charger, and the magnet array I used in the non-charging version.
Great work and design! Would be interesting to see how you could adapt the mount to be placed inside a car. If done properly, it could look like an OEM+ mount. The ones on the market are very clunky and ugly.
Just a masterclass in design, development - everything! Thank you for these…so inspiring!
Even the filming is high quality.

Literally just came from that video 😂😂
I had exactly the same thoughts about the rolls project on Matt Armstrongs channel but I fear he will want to keep the car legit.
@@uksmudgesmith yeaaa the Mansory factor will give him the chance to sell for more. Makes sense. Be cool for them to collab though
I was just thinking the same thing
Same here😊
Absolutely smashed it! That clear coated forged carbon looks fantastic.
Thank you man! Yeah I’m extremely please with how both versions turned out. I can’t get over how much depth the fibres have after the gloss clear. Had a lot of fun doing this part of the project! Thanks for watching!

He did a vid on the design process
That’s an insane amount of work condensed down. Nice job.
Thanks! Yeah there’s a fair few weeks of work condensed down. I think you can see me progressively looking more and more tired throughout the video haha. Thanks for watching!
I love how cleanly you present your workflow. It really hides the amount of work that I imagine goes into the whole process though. Just Subscribed

you could add a colored carbon flake as an accent color like orange or blue to make the carbon flakes pop love your videos!!

this is incredible
The matte is the way to go. At first I thought clear coat would set it off but the matte is just chef's kiss.
because of your series i'm saving up every penny to purchase one of those printers. This looks so awesome.
You clearly really know what you're talking about. Absolute pleasure watching your content, thanks for making it.
Mate, just do a kickstarter... These sort of products are perfect for it.
Your videos are simply hinoptic. Great job!!!!
Unreal production. Amazing hardware. Beautiful product.
Every aspect of this video was 10/10.
Thank you man! I appreciate the feedback and really glad you enjoyed watching!
Damn ! I would love to gift something like this to my brother, this summer ! Hit us up when you know what you'll do with these !
You really present your workflow and methodology so clearly and humbly and I learned an incredible amonng 😅
Great video! It's nice to see your design and iteration process along with the nice cinematography.
Terrific video. Really appreciate the attention to explaining details like combining the inserts into the mould - an issue I’ve been struggling with for a while.
great video, love that you concentrate on the process so I can actually learn stuff, out of mould result looked impressive.
I have little interest in your industry and the products you make, but that doesn't even matter, the quality of your videos just suck me in and are so entertaining! So good!!! Keep it up man!
Or should I say, I used to have little interest. 😂 I'm definitely intrigued now.
Well done, as always. I always stop what I'm doing to watch your videos. Keep it up!!
Nice looking kit. Good job. I'd really like to see you go over your considerations when designing your 3d printed molds boxes. I really like the idea of a reusable mold box when making parts that you will be reproducing often.
would 100% buy the matte version

I would love to have one of these on my desk- the matt version is killer!
What a brilliantly made product, looks very very professional, the cinematography skills are great too
Personal project made on $100,000 worth of equipment. Nice.

Congratulations!! The looking of the carbon fiber is aweasome and the video is a masterpiece.
A brilliant project, expertly executed! It is great to see the UltraCraft Reflex and PRM playing a role in your process of making ideas a reality!
No over the top music. Simple, elegant cinematography. Clear and concise explanations. absolutely banging product design.

Can't wait to see what you cook up next!
Love the whole process details and demonstration. Maybe consider a crowdfunding campaign with a max unit cap to better plan the quantities for the end product batch production
So excited, can't wait for the release!
Great to see how your videos evolve without losing the unique tone.
I would love to buy one of these for myself as well if there’s a run.
Incredible!!
I always like the matt finish but here I think it's the gloss which looks the best.
Thanks! I’ve always been the same. Ive always liked how Matt forged carbon was more subtle and not in your face, but here the gloss really does add something to it!
this is great cinematography but oh boy I would need more lightning in my shop. As always great video and awesome results.
This series has been so inspiring and cool to watch. Keep it up!!
Both look amazing. I prefer the Matte. I don't need my desk to have distractions.
This was insanely good. I’m hooked. Mad respect dude!
LOOOVE the matte. 👏
Thanks for showing the process, awesome.
Loved watching this! The end result looks fantastic!
To get some stability in your short batch production, maybe a kickstarter would be a good way to gauge volume.
product turned out so beautiful. fantastic work
Very cool!
Xyla Foxlin did some work with carbon fibre and used a coloured clear coat that ended up looking really nice.
you are doing a great job bro, the intricacy in your work is astounding.
Very nice product, and thank you for showing the molding process!
Brother! As always an amazing video! And as always, I learn something new! You surely are on another level from all the makers on RUclips! And the charger is the best looking one on the market! Crazy that we live in a time where a dude working by himself can outperform large companies with big design teams! Looking forward to the next video! Keep it up brother!
IDK what any of this is but it's so captivating to watch and listen to you talk. Subscribed. 👌🏼
A work of art, truly. Best wishes, good Sir.
Thank you! 🤘🏻
Really nice result, i would love to build a workshop just like yours someday.
It worked out well. I also want a glowing border like in the movie Tron.
The carbon give the holder a nice look. I find the mat version realy nice and love it. I love to see it works for my Pixel 7a ;-)
Great production and superb explanation of the many processes
Omg 💳 💥 💳 💥 💳 💥 love this so much!
Amazing work in both the work around making the stand and the cinematography! I really want to try and get one of the chargers if you do a limited run!
Thanks man I appreciate that a lot, and the fact you also want to get one! I’ll have more details in the next video on availability etc, which is a couple of weeks away. 🤘🏻 Thanks for watching!
Mat finish, definitely.
I would love to purchase one of the prototypes. The matte finish is amazing
Great stuff mate. Brilliant production.
Sick!! Matte is my personal favourite!
Looks really tight. Well done!
Absolutely amazing, both production-wise and in the way you executed your work. Curious about how this would translate into PC peripherals like keyboards and mice.
You can buy blind inserts which would be much more suitable for this process.
Great cinematography!
Thanks I appreciate that!
That's an amazing DIY wireless charging stand, dude! 😊😊
Mat finish is amazing
Great video, all the best with this. Looks amazing!
as always a pleasure to watch your videos man, keep them going!
Reminds me of a "Moai". A masterpiece.
Phenominal creation! Well done good Sir!
I don't have an iphone, but I really like your videos, keep building stuff and putting it on youtube
Brilliant mate 👏
Quality beyond reproach as usual Reece, since you created my R8 audio install I've followed your progress. Setting new standards for excellence with anything you work on - I want one of the batch please........
Great work and craftsmanship brother !
that's an amazing amount of work!
Bravo! Sincerely from Russia.
I'd suggest to use magnets instead of screws. +100 to premium and usage experience. Great job!
this is effingg insanneeeeeee
That forged carbon needs an NSFW tag! I want to learn how to make my own things 😩
Amazing work.
YESSSS WE'RE BACK
This video is just.... sooo good man! gj!
man this is sick...looks amazing
It's a beautiful piece
Yeah this is sick. Well done.
Great job! 🔥🔥🔥
Very nice. I do prefer the glossy coat.
Thanks! I look at these every day at the workshop and keep going back and forth between the two haha, I really can’t decide!
Ohh i've waited for this!
I really enjoyed the thought and process that went into this. Only downside is that only the apple phones seem to have the magnets to hold it in place. Wouldn't work for my samsung. :(
