Gridfinity Watch Stand v3.0 for Even Larger Watches (Fourth Remix)

Description

This is the 4th remix of  Luocheng Huang's Gridfinity Watch Stand, which I modified to fit 1x2 and 3x2 Gridfinity Watch cases I designed.  This new version is designed for larger watches, especially ones with thick bracelets.  For most other watches, I recommend using the version 3.0 watch holder.

Big thanks to Tommy Strobbe for helping to improve this design.  I used Tommy's feedback extensively to iterate the design, so that it could fit larger watches (larger watches than the original version 3.0 holders).  

There are two versions of the base and TPU inserts included here.  The regular versions have a notch which allows them to be used with my Gridfinity Watch cases - linked below.  The “no-SUPPORTS” versions do not have the notch, and can be used as stand alone holders, but may not fit my cases.

The TPU inserts will need to be printed in a flexible material.

A 3MF profile is included with one plate.  The profile is set up with the following settings:

• PLA (for the bases) and TPU (for the flexible inserts)
• 0.4mm X1 Carbon profile
• 3 Walls with 15% Gyroid infill
• Arachne wall generator
• Manual Supports are painted on the parts that need them.
• Smooth PEI build plate (use glue as a release agent when running TPU)

If you are interested in a watch case to use these with, you can find a few designs linked below for a 3x and 1x watch case:
