Summary

This is a simple charger dock stand for the Samsung GearS3 smartwatch. I love this tiny beast and I wanted a more convenient stand to keep verticaly the watch while charging on my desk (more natural from my point of view). So I build myself a discrete & simple stand where I can fit the charger horizontally. The charger builtin magnet keeps in place the watch and no tools or vitamins are required for assembly other than maybe a bit of sanding. The dock also keeps in place safely due to a snag fit and its base conical shape, simply insert it in the stand. This works with the original Samsung charger only, there are 3rd party compatible chargers out there that doesn't fit (I have some of them). I recommend to insert the USB cable through the stand BEFORE you insert the dock in the stand, this way the assembly is even easier. No support required for printing, all overhangs are setup at 45ยบ. Print at the supplied orientation. Also easy removal of the dock just in case you want to keep it in your pocket. Recommended print in ABS just in case you need a bit of sanding. Also provided a model without the text engraving. I also recommend to stick some 3M or gummy anti-slide tags to the base. This works with the original Samsung charger, I haven't tested 3rd party chargers yet.

Enjoy and happy charging...

UPDATE (20-DEC-2016): Increased height by 3mm in order to enhance the grip of the dock, now a bit of insertion force will be needed. Sources and models updated accordingly. Not a mayor update, just a convenient one. New pics added. New model with Samsung logo added, no support required.

UPDATE (21-DEC-2016): Added pics of a new build. Sorry, using some sharpies instead of paint. You know... poor man's paint ;-)

UPDATE (25-JAN-2017): Finally I got the time... Some users reported that the original Samsung's cable didn't fit well. Increased hole dimensions to resolve this. Models and source updated accordingly. You don't need to update if you cable already fits.

UPDATE (06-FEB-2017): Added a new model for a taller base (70mm instead of 53mm) as requested by some users. You don't need to update if your part is already working.

UPDATE (07-DEC-2018): Added taller model with Galaxy watch logo.
