# Flesh Phone Charger ## Overview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6HOYDntF9M ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/035/189/medium800/3d_printing_hero-plugged-in.jpg?1472502880) ## Grotesque Phone Charger This was project was inspired by a [flesh sucking phone charger from Japan](http://boingboing.net/2016/08/10/flesh-sucking-phone-charger-is.html). But instead of using traditional sculpting techniques and materials, we 3D printed them using Ninjaflex filament! Inside these parts are a 2200mAh USB battery pack and charging cable, so this actually charges your Phone - without any of the actual sucking. It’s flexes without any issue and it’s surprisingly durable! ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/035/274/medium800thumb/3d_printing_use-loop.jpg?1472652398) ## Airbrushed Paint Job We used an airbrush to add colors and small details like the veins. The results turned out pretty gnarly and would totally make great props for film or for your next cosplay. We 3D printed theses intestine in a fleshy skin color with no infill to make them extra flexible. ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/035/276/medium800thumb/3d_printing_close-up-loop.jpg?1472652411) ## Strain Relief Cables We really like how this actually has a useful application beside just looking gross. It also acts as a strain relief for the cables! ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/035/188/medium800/3d_printing_parts.jpg?1472502861) ## Parts You need a battery pack, NinjaFlex and a 3D printer to make this project. - [Battery Pack](https://www.adafruit.com/products/1959) - [Flesh color NinjaFlex Filament](https://www.adafruit.com/categories/142?q=ninjaflex&p=1&) - [Caramel Candy](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2382) - [Peach Smoothie](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2383) - [Rose-Gold Blush](https://www.adafruit.com/products/2381) - [USB Charging cable](https://www.adafruit.com/products/1514) ## Tools and Supplies - [3D Printer](https://www.adafruit.com/category/128) - Hobby Knife - E6000 - Airbrush w/ Waterbased Acrylic Paint - Paper Towels ![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/035/278/medium800thumb/3d_printing_battery-loop.jpg?1472652430) - [Next Page](https://learn.adafruit.com/flesh-tumor-phone-charger/3d-printing.md) ## Featured Products ### USB Battery Pack - 2200 mAh Capacity - 5V 1A Output [USB Battery Pack - 2200 mAh Capacity - 5V 1A Output](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1959) A smaller-sized rechargeable battery pack for your [Raspberry Pi](http://www.adafruit.com/raspberrypi) or [Raspberry Pi B+](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1914) (or [Arduino](http://www.adafruit.com/arduino), or  No Longer Stocked [Buy Now](https://www.adafruit.com/product/1959) [Related Guides to the Product](https://learn.adafruit.com/products/1959/guides) ### Flashforge Creator PRO [Flashforge Creator PRO](https://www.adafruit.com/product/2742) The **Flashforge Creator Pro** is the latest addition to FlashForge’s Creator family, built upon an open source platform.
