PineTime Devkit charging dock

thingiverse

Simple rig to hold your pinetime devkit in charging dock. PineTime is a great hackable smartwatch. The Devkits come with loose back cover, so the programming pins are accessible for developers. Unfortunately, this makes impossible to use the charging pad normally - the magnets in the pad hold the back cover nicely in place, but the pinetime itself gets lifted by the battery/motor pins - thus we had to put some weight on top of it during charging. BUT NO MORE! I designed simple n easy to print rig to help with that - just print the 2 parts, no supports needed, add M4 screw to act as a hinge and voila! Put your PineTime on the charging pad, close the lid and wait. I think you need at least 30mm long M4 screw and a nut to assemble it properly, but I tried it with 25mm and works too - it doesn't reach the nut, but the plastic keeps it in place anyway. Snap-fit can be a bit too tight, either open/close it 10-20 times, or put into hot water for few seconds and gently bend the pins together. I used the 3D model of pinetime during modeling https://grabcad.com/library/pine64-pinetime-3d-model-1 Used the Pine64 logo svg I found on their forums. PineTime: https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/
