FitBit Charge 2 Band

prusaprinters

<p>I love my FitBit, but I find the bottom of the body uncomfortable and it leaves a deep impression in my arm. I've looked around for other solutions, and there really wasn't much that interested me, so I decided to design a wristband for my Fitbit that would place the sensors flush with the bottom of the band.</p><p>I started by modeling my Fitbit in Solidworks. I've uploaded the file for the device to GrabCAD ( <a href="https://grabcad.com/library/fitbit-charge-2-1">https://grabcad.com/library/fitbit-charge-2-1</a> ) if anyone is interested. With the model, I was able to design a cradle around it, and printed a small body to verify the fit. I made some adjustments, and with my 2nd print I added a simple hinge joint (was not as efficient as the boss-pin and loop.</p><p>After 6 major revisions, as well as wearing the last 2 versions, I decided the design was ready to share.</p><p>Also, I'm contemplating adding a larger body to the cradle, or perhaps giving it some character by making more decorative (faces, shapes, maybe even adding hair?)...</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Prusa</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Printer:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>MK3S</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>150 um</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>25%</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>Nozzle Temp 220c</p><p>Bed Temp 50-60c</p><p>Bed Adhesive - Elmer's water soluble purple glue stick</p><p>Print Speed 25mm/s</p><p>1.75mm TPU (Sainsmart) - I only have red and I seriously need to get this in another color.</p><p>I've also printed the different versions of this band on a Prusa i3 MK1 and MK3 with similar settings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Category: Accessories</p>
