When 3D-printing enthusiast Mike Hellers received his iPhone Elevation Dock, it was rendered useless the next day. After supporting the Kickstarter project, which earned about $1.4 million, the product arrived months later as promised. The only problem -- the iPhone 5 was released with a new lightning connector, making the old, 30-pin connector obsolete.
