Introduction: Nano K'nex Ipod Dock
This is my entry into the K'nex challenge 1
It's a universal Ipod dock, that works with all models except the shuffle(s).
It's small, easy to build and works with most sync cables.
It also comes with Bartboys limited warranty! If your ipod breaks within 5 seconds of reading this,I will cover a percentage of the cost of repairing it!
LoL
Step 1: Get Your Pieces!
You need:
Connectors:
2 Yellow
2 Orange
4 Green
3 Red
And
Rods:
5 Blue
1 White
7 Green
Step 2: Step 1: the Main Frame
This is the part that holds all the other ones together.
4 green connectors on two blue rods, with 4 green rods on one end,
and 2 orange connectors on one of the blues.
Step 3: The Feet
This is the bottom of the stand, that supports the ipod.
2 yellow connectors on two blue rods, and have another blue ready.
Step 4: The Back Rest
This part supports the ipod.
I'm not sure if it's necessary, but for ipod classics and ipod touches,
I would recommend building it.
3 red connectors on a white rod, and 3 green rods in the middle.
Step 5: Assembly
- I never would have guessed!
Done!

I say this is the best, but I think there should be a minor change, so we could listen to the iPod while it is charging.

Oh how the times have changed...This dock is for the older iPods that have the headphone jack on the top-right.

Best Ever! I've tried almost all other docks, but this one is the easiest and the best working!

The only problem is you could easily knock it over, but anyone who's not clumsy wouldn't :P
Thanks!
The idea is to build it onto your other creations!

Why wouldn't it work with the shuffle??
Reply 11 years ago on Introduction
Because the shuffle uses a different type of sync cable.
