3D printed watch stand
Apple MagSafe and Apple Watch Charger Stand #3DThursday #3DPrinting « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!
Double charge your Apple products. From SLCmechE on Thingiverse:
Created a stand to hold a magsafe charger and an apple watch with build in cable routing.
The magsafe magnet creates some force, so I added pockets for magnets to add some weight to resist the magnet force.
Printing at higher infill without the magnets may work as well.
Used tree supports, touching build plate only.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Join 35,000+ makers on Adafruit’s Discord channels and be part of the community! http://adafru.it/discord
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.

Apple Watch Owners Take to LEGO & 3D Printing for Homemade Stands
The accessory market for the Apple Watch exploded almost immediately after the wearable was announced back in March, with stands specifically becoming the popular announcement of well-known third-party accessory companies like Twelve South and Mophie. Although most of the stands won't break the bank, some of the cheapest start at around $30, and some of the higher-end alternatives can go as high as $130.
With monetary savings in mind, a few enterprising individuals around the internet have begun to showcase their own homemade alternatives to the big-name Apple Watch stands. Made using materials like LEGO and even a 3D printer, the homemade stands not only look functional but, of course, offer a more unique and personal take on charging Apple's new wearable device.
Designed and built this Apple Watch stand all by myself like a big boy pic.twitter.com/YADEd0wunY — ⚡️ Conasaurus Rex ⚡️ (@ConaKBO) May 31, 2015
One of the go-to Apple Watch stand material for homemade construction is LEGO, unsurprisingly, with users posting on Twitter and in the MacRumors forums a few noteworthy constructions perfect for the nightly charging required by the wearable. Ranging in diversity from a highly detailed Guardians of the Galaxy themed design to simple no-frills constructions, those interested may not be able to perfectly re-create their favorite designs, but should no doubt feel a burst of inspiration from looking at others' builds.
My Apple Watch charging stand is better than yours ;) #iamgroot #lego @JamesGunn pic.

Over in the forums, a few members have showcased unique LEGO creations, as well. A few designs focus on pop culture themes like Minecraft or Star Wars, but others have decided to build their own custom blueprints, as well. One user even took it a step further and crafted a matching Watch/iPhone set.
Although far less popular than the easy-to-obtain LEGO bricks, one lucky MacRumors reader has been able to use a 3D printer to design and print out their own personal Apple Watch stand. The resulting product is arguably a bit rudimentary and rough around the edges, but undeniably cool as an alternative charging method for the Apple Watch. The 3D printed stand was designed with a slot on the back of the stand's neck and a hole at its base to pass the MagSafe charger, although the poster notes the exact dimension of the MagSafe puck was estimated due to the Watch's unavailability at the time of posting.

Bag clip with screw cap
Now the bag clip will have a new feature - a hole with a lid for quick access, as in the photo. This clip is easy to print and convenient to use. Strange that no one thought of this before.

Polypanels
The idea for Polypanels came from Devin Montes. A polypanel is a series of three-dimensional building blocks. The individual elements of a Polypanel look simple, but if you print a lot of them and different types, you can create all sorts of complex designs. Something like LEGO where you can design each brick.

Modern man is constantly busy with something. Sometimes there is no time to wait several days for a job to print completely. And if something goes wrong, printing will have to be restarted.
Sometimes we want to print something just for fun, something that won't take more than an hour. So, here are 10 simple and fun 3D printables that will be ready in less than 60 minutes (maybe some extra infill and support settings will be needed for some models).
Timing accuracy has been tested in the popular Cura slicer. But be aware that some 3D printers are faster.
4 SIMPLE STEPS TO 3D PRINT THE MODELS FROM ARTICLE
- Browse 's list of funny models for inspiration and ideas. Take your time. We will be here when you return.
- Download the STL file of your chosen model. Click on the link to go to the site where the files are located. You can download it absolutely for free. Please note that some sites may require registration to download.
- Cut the STL file to prepare it for 3D printing. Whether you use an open source program like Cura or a paid solution like Simplify3D, slicing is a very important step for the quality of your model. Open the STL file and change settings such as padding, layer height and support.
- Convert the STL file to GCode after you finish slicing. Save the GCode and upload it to your 3D printer using a USB cable, SD card, or network connection.
Now start printing!
