Amazfit Stratos Stand - origina dock enhancement

thingiverse

If you use the original Stratos dock, the docking process can be very frustrating. Cheap Chinese docks are often unreliable. That's why I designed a modification for the original Stratos dock. Dock in action (V1): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoAUdFfXlic The enhancement is printed in Grafilon (PLA+Carbon), but you can use PLA, ABS, PETG or any other material. The print position should be as it appears in the STL files. Do not rotate the model. Layer: 0.2mm Nozzle: 0.4mm Infill: 50% Support Everywhere, enable Support Roof/Floor (Cura) Build plate: Skirt Model print placement: as in STL's Printer: Creality Ender3 (or any printer that gives quality prints) Assembly instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ur353Qy2PM a) After printing and assembling the enhancement dock, check how it holds Stratos locked. b) If it's okay, then take the original dock and try to press it into the enhancement. If you can't, just shave a little of the edge inside the enhancement dock. But usually, it's enough just to bend it a little along the longest side. No glue is needed. c) Try again to put and lock Stratos in the original+enhancement dock combo. Check that there are no gaps from the arms to the Stratos arms. There should be no gap vertically. In other words, they should press Stratos firmly into the dock. d) If there's no gap (This is IRREVERSIBLE; blame yourself if you missed something), then cut 4 small grips (tooth) on the original dock as they are no longer needed. That's it. Other parts used are below.

Universal - for stock and round Chinese cheap dock In action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CbMjyDywKM Cheap dock example on Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/A1609-Charger-Cradle-Charging-Dock-For-Huami-Amazfit-Stratos-SmartWatch-2-2S/32914790842.htm But personally, I do not recommend using cheap docks. And this one will not give you the slide and click feature; it will not work as with the original dock. Tried SIKAI dock from Aliexpress; it does not fit my stand. Surprisingly, it is slightly higher and taller. I was lazy to redesign my dock and just shaved some plastic from SIKAI.
