USB ODIN 3d Printed Cradle

[JENJEN01]

Showing one option to connect USB connector to watch with the help of a 3d printer. Connection on the PCB pads were made using safety pins secured on the back of the 3d printed cradle.


Some points,
An extra support part is glued at the back of the cradle for the pins
The pins are secured by hex bolts and washer. Once they are secured, a good dab of CA glue on the bolt+washer+pins will permanently keep them fixed.
The safety pins on the watch connection side might bump into each other thus if you notice on the video, one of the pin has a tape on it to prevent physical contact to one another.

Thank you very much for posting and sharing. :good:

I have no 3D Printer...

But will try to learn about the files...
Maybe it is possible to print on every 3D Printer...


Best Regards

Updated the initial post with a V2 version of the ODIN USB cradle for the R820 as well. V2 version has support protrusion that will secure the pins on the pads and a video demo (demo.zip)

Wasn't really sure based on the pics why would you not fix the wires through "channels" but the video helped a lot!
I had the same idea except I am only researching the problem and no 3D printed experience

This is excellent work, many thanks for sharing!

Hello again,
just a quick request if I may.

I tried to get a quote to get the ODIN_CRADLE_R830.stl v2 printed and they get back to me saying:
There are issues with the parts themselves. The wall thickness is too small in some regions. Please see the attached images. To ensure printability, please increase the wall thickness to at least 0.45mm.

Could you please do this for me? Is there any effect on useability?
Please see the attached picture.

Many thanks

What did you use for the pins? Seems like decapitated safety pins?

I just bought the watch so will not be able to test it till the weekend but will report back asap.
