Pebble Watch Stand (Including Bunk Bed Version)

thingiverse

It's a simple design really. I built the bunk bed version first because I wanted a place for my Pebble smartwatch to sit at night without getting off my bunk bed. The bed version is designed to fit beds with holes in the corners that support the rod for a bunk bed, so I could easily place my watch on it at night. I then thought, why not just take the same fit and use it to make a standalone version? I made it specifically for the original Pebble watch. However, if anyone wants to try it with a Pebble Steel or Pebble Time, they can feel free to do so - it's worth a shot at least! I've also uploaded the STEP files so people can improve on my design. **Instructions** To print this project, I used PLA plastic at .2mm resolution and 12% infill. I'm pretty sure it could be printed with even less resolution though. Both prints came out well without needing supports, although you might need some for the cylinder peg on the bed version if your printer can't handle that particular part very well. It took me about an hour to print each one using my Makergear M2 3D printer. The charger fits into the hole and the magnet holds the watch up securely. On both chargers I printed, the mount for the charger was tight enough to hold it easily without any issues. When positioning the platform where the watch rests on, make sure it's not too close to the bottom of the charger - there's a slight offset due to the shape of the watch that needs to be accounted for. However, I think I've found the perfect distance now and haven't had much trouble getting the watch to stay in place. One thing worth noting is that I have two chargers with different magnets - one pair isn't strong enough to hold up the watch, so if you're having trouble getting your watch to stick, it might be a charger problem as well.
