Dual MagSafe Charger Mounts for Lucid Air – Custom 3D Printed Design

I wanted to add MagSafe chargers for both the driver and passenger in my Lucid Air—but without giving up the center console bin for storage. After searching through various 3D printing sites and looking at options like the TWRAPS charger, I found a few designs that were close, but none quite matched the refined feel of the Lucid interior.

So I decided to design my own from scratch in Blender, drawing inspiration from what I’d seen but tailoring it to fit the car’s aesthetic and layout. I hope others find it useful too. You can download the STL files here: Lucid Air MagSafe Charger Holders – Printables.com

I printed the mounts in ABS for heat resistance and durability. There are two versions—one for the left and one for the right side—with different cable slot orientations to keep cords tidy and out of the way. To keep things clean, I tucked all the cables into an old Ray-Ban glasses case, which fits perfectly in the center bin and the position of the phones still allows the lid to close while charging.


Printing & Finishing

I used outer and inner brims to prevent warping during the ABS print. Once printed, I:
  • Trimmed the brims, including around the cable slot
  • Lightly sanded the edges to smooth out any roughness
  • Painted the parts with SEM 49143 Trim Black Ultra, a satin-finish automotive spray that blends beautifully with the Lucid interior
This is the third iteration of the design. In earlier versions, I sanded the face smooth, but found that a polished surface showed wear from sliding the phone in and out. For this version, I kept the natural ridges from the print to help hide daily-use marks.

Charger Installation

To secure the JSAUX MagSafe chargers to the mounts:
  • I applied 3M double-sided automotive tape—a ¾" strip opposite the cable, and two smaller pieces at ±90°
  • Fed the USB-C cable through the slot and pressed the charger into place
  • Set a small brick on top for about an hour to ensure a solid bond

Once installed, the setup looks clean, functions perfectly, and keeps the center bin free for storage.

great work! this looks awesome. coincidentally, my P1P just came in. i'm new to this, but do you think ABS is needed? how hot do the chargers get you think?

Yes, you should use ABS because it gets quite hot in the car in the summertime. The recessed design shown was also in my original design for the wedges, but I actually ended up changing it and surface mounted the MagSafe charger puck to allow for more air circulation around the back of the phone while charging.
 
Bummer. Started the shopping with an a1 mini because my 8 year old wanted one for his Pokemon characters 😂 Then I talked myself into an a1 and then into a p1p. I should have kept going to a p1s. Never stops!
 
That’s cool. I’ve never had good luck with the built in drivers’ side charger so I always just plug in.
 
The car comes with charging stations for both passenger and driver, but they don’t work very well unless you take your phone out of the case in my experience. Did you use any of what’s already there in the car to do this? Or does this whole setup sit in front of the built in stations? I can’t quite tell from your pics.

The right side is only a holder, not a charger.

I don't use any of what's built into the car. The MagSafe charger sits in front of the existing charger on the driver side.

First, I want to thank you for your original design. What an awesome idea, and much needed. Thank you, @Bobby!

I agree with you about leaving some room for air circulation. I'm accounting for it in 2 ways in my design. First, the puck isn't fully recessed, but should keep the phone 0.5mm away from the 3d printed charger mount to allow for airflow. Second, the hole in the back of the mount allows the puck to have some airflow because of the ridged surface on back of the Lucid phone slot. So far, I haven't had any heat issues, even when running AndroidAuto for well over an hour.
