Garmin charging cradle
I just posted a new thing on Thingiverse and thought people might be interested.
It's a charging cradle for Garmin Edge 530, 830, 1030, and 1030 Plus computers. It uses the charging pins those computers have in their quarter turn mount. It requires a few extra parts because it's really hard to make something even slightly electrical with just 3D printer filament.
Comments and feedback welcome.

Yeah, charging port covers are all fragile and a pain to deal with. The nice thing about this it only takes one hand to plug it in. A quarter turn to remove it from the bike, snap into the charger, easy. Heck, it could even be called "wireless."
