Galaxy Watch Qi Charger Puck

thingiverse

Since not a single company on the planet made an alternative wireless charger for the galaxy watch and nobody else seems to have designed one yet...I chose to make my own. My design was born out of anger after Samsung decided it would be cool to change the charger for the GW2 and make it incompatible with the Galaxy Watch. Thanks, Samsung. This thing is designed to re-house the magnets, charging coil, and circuit board for the original Galaxy Watch/Gear S3 charging dock. Everything is friction-fit, so you don't need screws or glue. ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Get a screwdriver and pry tool and disassemble your OEM charger. You can find videos on how to do this on youtube 2) De-solder the copper wires that connect the coil to the board. 3) Remove the metal plate 4) Feed the two wires through the two holes in the coil housing 5) Insert the 6 magnets into their respective holes (this may require some heavy force. Use a flat metal tool to help so you don't indent your finger). These are strong magnets and they will slip out of your grip and attach to the other ones you've already put in. Don't give up. You got this. 6) Resolder the two wires you fed through earlier back to the board 7) Insert the board, charging port first, into the main housing. Gently press the back of the board on either side of the middle "stick" where the LED is with your thumbs so that you feel it "pop" into place in front of the two raised bracers/platforms 8) Gently seat the coil housing into the main housing making sure it is pressed down all the way and makes contact with the elevated bracers 9) take the lid and gently press it into the main housing. It should click into place, using friction to hold it in place. If you want, I suppose you could glue it but good luck taking it apart again haha ALL DONE! You're now ready to enjoy your new up-to-date Galaxy Watch Charger! This is not a perfect design by any means and I know it can be improved. Please feel free to remix this design however you see fit! Just be sure to link me in your remix and all that. Besides...if your design is better than mine, then I'll end up using that.
