MATERIAL GUIDE

What material works best for me?

Every SOLODock is 3D printed to order. PLA is the default and what most people should pick — PETG is there if you want a little extra toughness or heat tolerance.

PETG

Extra tough, extra heat.

Upgrade

PETG material close-up

SLIGHTLY MORE VISIBLE, STILL NEAT LAYER LINES

More impact resistant and heat tolerant. Pick this if your space gets hot, or you just want a little more headroom.

  • Higher impact resistance
  • Handles warmer rooms (~75°C)
  • Slight gloss, more moisture-tolerant
  • Slightly softer edges — layer lines more visible
  • Marginally heavier than PLA

Disclaimer: These photos are close-ups for demonstration purposes. Finished SOLODock parts are more uniform and product-like than what these macro shots suggest.

Not sure which to pick? PLA is the safe answer — go PETG only if your desk sits in direct sunlight or a hot room.

QUICK FAQ

Answers for SOLODock Connect.

The most common questions for this model. For everything else, see the full FAQ .

Why choose SOLODock Connect over Core?

Connect includes a high-speed integrated USB-C connection, so there is no loose cable to find and plug in each time. Simply slide your MacBook into the dock for a faster, cleaner and more convenient setup.

How does SOLODock Connect work with my setup?

Connect links your MacBook to your setup through its integrated high-speed USB-C cable. For a direct connection, your monitor or dock must support video over USB-C; otherwise, the optional adapter allows connection through DisplayPort.

Can Connect charge my MacBook as well as output video?

Yes, provided your connected monitor or USB-C hub supports Power Delivery. The amount of charging power available depends on the monitor, hub or power source being used.

Can I connect my keyboard, mouse and other accessories through it?

Yes. When Connect is linked to a compatible USB-C monitor, hub or docking station, connected accessories can work through the same single USB-C connection.

Can the integrated USB-C cable be replaced?

The cable is built into the Connect system to keep it securely positioned and aligned with your MacBook. If it becomes damaged or develops a fault, contact SOLODock support for replacement and repair options.

REVIEWS

What owners say about the Connect.

4.9 average · verified buyers
5 out of 5 stars

“Brilliant customer service”

I didn’t clean away all the wood dust after installing it, which ended up marking both the liner and my MacBook. It was completely my fault, but support still offered to replace the dock free of charge or send me fresh liner tape to fit myself.

— Ryan C.

4 out of 5 stars

“Better than expected for the price”

You can tell it’s 3D printed, so there are some visible lines and slight variations in the finish rather than perfectly smooth, amazon-sold one. That said, it feels strong, fits well and is very good value for the price, happy to support a small brand like this.

— Jamie M.

“Exactly the upgrade I needed”

I nearly chose the Core, but I’m glad I went for Connect. Having the cable held in the right place makes using the MacBook every day much quicker.
