Anker Prime 250W Charging Station Addon

An Anker Prime 250W charger sitting on a black 3D printed base with four modular retractable cables.
A printed base that keeps four detachable cable modules under the charger.

The Anker Prime Charger 250W already centralizes desktop charging, but the cables can still take over the desk. This addon turns four modular retractable cable modules into a compact base, so the charger stays usable while the cables stay parked.

The structure is split into three printed pieces and is designed to print without supports. I kept the material use low and left enough room for the cable modules to slide in, pull out, and return without fighting the body.

Hardware

The retractable modules keep the cables reachable without leaving them loose on the desk.

Print notes

The published profile uses 0.2 mm layers, 2 walls, and 15% infill. PETG or ABS is recommended because the charger can get warm under heavy load, and PLA may soften in extreme charging conditions.

The cable module referenced in the design is the 100 W version, roughly 6 cm x 5 cm x 1.5 cm, with a 1 m cable. After installation, a small amount of glue can help keep the printed body and module from separating over time.
