Fitbit Versa 2 Charging Stand

thingiverse

I designed this project to address a glaring issue with the charging base for the Fitbit Versa 2. The cable protruding straight from the back of the charger creates a significant problem - you simply can't charge your device while lying flat. So, I set out to create a stand that would rectify this design flaw. The stand prints in four distinct parts: a clip, a base, and two legs. These components are held together using superglue, which worked beautifully for me. Each part can be printed without supports, although the legs may exhibit some minor imperfections on their first layer. However, these blemishes can easily be sanded down to a smooth finish. To prevent scratching the charger base, I intentionally designed the clip to be slightly wider than the base itself. This thoughtful touch ensures a snug fit and helps maintain the integrity of both components. I further enhanced this design by applying a thin line of hot glue along the inside of the tabs, which creates a subtle yet effective grip for the charge base. When working with hot glue, it's essential to exercise caution not to apply too much pressure, as this can cause one of the tabs to crack. To avoid this pitfall, I applied a small, judicious amount of glue and then used my fingernail to squish it down gently. After allowing it to cool, the result was a seamless, secure bond that worked beautifully.
