Are you using your notebook as your main computer? Are you fed up with having to fiddle around with multiple plugs and cables every time you want to take your notebook with you? Are you annoyed with the cable clutter on your desk? HackDock to the rescue! Build your very own customizable docking solution tailored to your notebook and your needs with a 3d printer and some Sugru. The HackDock is geared towards MacBook but will work with many other notebooks, too. It consists of two parts: The connector (this Thing) which combines all your plugs into one consolidated big one you can easily attach and detach and the Base Unit (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:143161) in which you can dump your peripheral components like USB Hubs or even an external HDD. The Base Unit can then be mounted out of sight under your desk or behind your monitor (neat!). I designed the HackDock as part of a student project during my masters program in Human Computer Interaction, so some effort went into documenting and explaining everything thoroughly in the form of an accompanying blog: http://scriptogr.am/oliverstickel/the-hackdock If you are interested in the HackDock and/or making one, the blog is the way to go - you will find a more extensive overview as well as prerequisites, measuring, printing and assembling instructions over there. For those of you who are interested, there's also a bit of documentation about the design progress. I've been using the HackDock for weeks now and I'm very happy with the way it works and enables me to have neat and organized desk - judge for yourselves based on the photos in the gallery (more in the blog). :) I hope, there are some people here who also like the concept and decide to build a HackDock - if you do, I'd really love to hear about your opinions and experiences!
