Apple Watch Charging Stand for 4 watches

When everyone in the family has an Apple Watch that needs charging pretty much daily, having a common space to and no cable/charger mess is a desired solution. So I put together a stand that fits (snugly) 4 watches (either 42 or 38mm) and charges them all at the same time using a single wall receptacle.

Aside of the charging pads which this design is based around, there is a 4 port USB charger which I happened to have laying around. It goes by the name "Cellet 20W 4-Port High Speed Desktop USB Charger" and dimensions are 82x59x28mm, which goes inside the stand and stays out of sight, plugged to power via the standard and very common "figure 8" 2 prong AC cord (same as Apple TV, etc). Alternative for this could be "ORICO ASK-4U-US 4-Port USB Desktop Charger" which is slightly smaller (same thickness but 2mm narrower and shallower, simply put some pads around to compensate for snug fit inside the stand. Just google around these, there are many stores still selling them including Amazon. Stand was designed around a cheap knock-off charging pads that I sourced 10 bucks each off Amazon, but should fit the original ones too (cables could be a bit long and slightly ticker, but running them trough the slots should still be ok, just organizing them in the empty space inside the stand might be a bit trickier. The hole in the bottom is for a bolt (M2.5 anything from 4 to 20mm) to hold the charger snugly to the back allowing for easy connect and disconnect of the AC cord. Use 4 rubber stick-on stands in the corners for better friction with the surface stand is placed on.

Rafts: No

Supports: Yes

Resolution: 200

Infill: 20%

Filament: Anycubic PLA White

Notes:

I used white PLA, goes well with the kitchen windows and the cabinets in our kitchen where we usually charge the watches. Make sure stand is printed on the side where the AC plug is, with supports (try the minimum your filament and printer can handle to avoid difficult clean up job inside the charging pad openings and cable channels. For my printer 65deg works well.

I also suggest print the lid and the stand separate for best quality results. The lid is very snug fit, needs no additional retaining, gluing/etc, if you ever need to pry it open, use the opening where cables go inside the stand.
