Say Cheese! Homemade Dock :)
I made a dock last night out of wadded up sheet metal, was functional, but UGLY. I went hunting around my apartment for something to carve up and found an OLD webcam. So old in fact that it had a parallel interface and a PS/2 splitter for power! It will make a great dock. Out came the Dremel and a few screws and it was done:
These pictures were taken with my VZW TP and we know how hard it is to take a clear picture when you've gotta hold the phone still for like 10 seconds... Also don't know how to scale image in BB code: links http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../IMAGE_078.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../IMAGE_077.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../IMAGE_076.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../IMAGE_075.jpg Oh yeah, it pitches up and down, guess they did not have the ability to swivel their webcams in the stone ages! |

Very nice! :headbang: Great mod! Now all ya have to do is have it set up to when you dock your TP, you can view the webcam image on your TP screen. haha.

Cooooool!

Re: Say Cheese! Homemade Dock :)
I would add something to it so the usb is not the only thing holding it up, that plug is not known to be very durable, like the idea tho!

I never would have thought of making my own dock. Great idea. I would probably make mine out of wood and shape it to really hold up the phone at an angle that lets me see it while at my desk. If I ever get around to doing it, I'll post pictures, but KUDOS on the creativity.

Re: Say Cheese! Homemade Dock :)
thanks. I would like to make a better dock one day from scratch with wood probably also. I am very concerned about the health of my USB port, I will see if I can add something to it that can support the device more.

yes, I am fortunate to have these resources...at work. Believe me if I had to do it with a dremel and soldering iron it wouldn't look near as good as yours. Nice job! =D> |
