Wanted to make my own charger for my Garmin Watch.

Was a fun weekend project.

Nice job! It's always so satisfying to design and make something that is a usable thing vs just another remix of a benchy.

Looks like it turned out great!

How did you manage the adapter?

Amazon it’s a right angle to Garmin connector. In hindsight I probably could’ve got the charging puck instead

This type of project is why I want to get a printer, but I know in reality I would just print random clutter! Nice job though.

This is super cool. Are you going to post it to thingiverse or somewhere? I'd love to make it.

Normally I would, but the models is partially corrupt, it doesn’t print right, and it only works with larger Garmin. So I am not uploading it
