2nd life for Series 0

[capricorn71]

Hello,

I gave my Apple Watch „Series 0“ a second life as a alarm clock.
Therefore I designed a 3D printed housing.
Now the display can‘t fall off anymore. This defect brought the watch in the drawer.
Now it has a new life.

After six years of daily use the battery was defective and the display poped off.
I changed the battery twice, the force touch sensor once, the tiny double sided adhesive to fix the display many times. But unfortunately the display fell off again.
So this housing is the happy end for my beloved original Apple Watch.

All docks available for purchase wouldn‘t hold the display and I don‘t know any dock where the watch is fixed w/o band. So fortunately 3D printing is available nowadays.

Sell that on Etsy.

Do you have this design on Thingaverse? Possibly planning on it? I would love to do the same!

No, this site is new to me.
I don‘t have a 3D-printer and ordered the parts at i.materialise.com

I think it would be to expansive for most of the people.
As I don‘t have a 3D printer I sourced it at i.materialise.com
It cost me about 70€ (77$).

Ah gotchya. Though you made the whole thing from scratch.

I designed that dock on CAD. i.materialise.com is a 3D printing service.
