Apple Watch charging stand with a printed cable-winding mechanism

I made this stand to keep the spare charging cable tucked inside. Turning the top winds it in with a series of clicks. Gently pulling the cable unwinds it.

Print details:

  • Printer: Bambu A1, 0.4 mm nozzle
  • Material: PLA
  • Full kit: 0.16 mm layers, eight parts on two plates
  • Estimated time: about two hours
  • Two colours by changing filament between plates, no AMS needed

I also printed a rounded replacement top to stop my Sport Loop catching on the original flat top. That version works with my 42 mm watch and band.

You’ll need your own braided USB-C Apple Watch charging cable. The complete kit includes the original flat top; the rounded replacement is a separate profile.
