Fitbit Surge Desktop Stand Improved

thingiverse

This thing is an enhanced version of the one designed by "barspin" on Aug 14, 2015 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:969077). The most recent update in March 2016 included a modified design for the cable retainer developed by "borgchick" specifically for her remix (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1204069) of my present remix. This is a desktop stand for Fitbit Surge "Fitness/Smartwatch," perfectly suited for the L sized model, which was the only size tested. Although I'm uncertain whether this design will work with other sizes, such as S or XL. I really appreciate barspin's innovative idea but I felt compelled to refine his concept by allowing users to put the Fitbit Surge in the stand without being connected to a USB cable. This became essential when trying to view the time on the device without wearing it, for instance, when you want to monitor the clock while standing near your computer desk and without any charging cables attached. To make this possible, I modified the original design by incorporating lower support. Additionally, I moved the rectangular cutout further up to facilitate better access to the cable outlet area. As in barspin's design, the upper part can be positioned to provide an ideal fit for the Fitbit Surge, with minimal gaps. The users are provided with three model size options: normal (same size as barspin's original), large which conceals the rubber belt on the back of the device, and a small one where only minimal upper and lower components were created. You can choose this reduced size when you want to minimize filament consumption during printing or perhaps when trying to determine whether the design is functional without wasting valuable time. Please note that my last update includes a revised cable retainer version, originally designed by "borgchick" for her remix (Fitbit Charge HR charging stand), which incorporates improvements that have enhanced user experience. Specifically, this design ensures that the Fitbit cable is neatly kept and secured inside its dedicated cutout, thereby maintaining better cable control.
