The supports are minimal and can be removed easily using pliers. <strong>It can be placed on any flat surface and any doubled sided adhesive tape can be used to secure it to the surface</strong>.</p><p><strong>There are 3 cable passage options, based on your plug point location you can select the respective file, (refer the photo)</strong><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/65292/rich_content/a0d4df58-f9cf-42d9-9e73-07d447000468/screenshot-2022-01-13-041417.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22214d70d7-c312-41a2-8357-291afad01d19%22%2C%22w%22%3A1092%2C%22h%22%3A727%7D"></p><p><strong>Print Setting</strong>:&nbsp;</p><p>Profile: 0.2mm Quality</p><p>Infill: 15%</p><p>Perimeters: 2</p><p>Supports: Choose “For support enforcers only” and select the area shown below.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/65292/rich_content/b2cf2c29-a0a8-4bcd-ac91-b2cbc9c76d7b/screenshot-2022-01-13-042046.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2216d6d92f-1726-4cf3-be88-7f3a9ac7ac8a%22%2C%22w%22%3A785%2C%22h%22%3A805%7D"></figure><p>On browsing, I found that the charging cables are the same for most of the Garmin watches. In theory, this design can be used as a charging dock for most of the Garmin watches. <strong>Do let me know if you do try with other models.
