This is the remix from the original model to make the dock work with the CMF Watch Pro 3 :) Very few supports are needed (you can import the 3MF into your Slicer so that it opens up with the supports already painted):
- You can print it in any material really, I've tested already PLA, PETG, PCCF and even PETG Tungsten :D Just for the looks (had to make at least 5 prototypes until I got to this, final working/optimized version)
- Once printed and you've removed the supports, it's a matter of pushing in the cable connector in place into its cavity, and gently insert the cable into the slot so that it ends up nicely routed towards the back of the dock
- The opening for the cable connector gives you enough tolerance to adjust its inserted position, to push it in more or pull it out a bit, enough for you to set the perfect position so that the connector pins engage with the metal pads in the watch right when you put your watch there for charging :)
The file design was adjusted in TinkerCad (with some negative volumes created in Autodesk Inventor), then, I added some extra touches in MeshMixer, so if you're looking to remix this file, you should be good to do it with the STL/you can convert it into a solid if needed.
Happy printing!

Differences of the remix compared to the original
- The Watch Pro 3 is a bit bigger, the whole watch cavity had to be enlarged, opened from the back, for the watch to fit
- The location of the charging cable had to be re-adjusted to specifically engage with the charging pins in the dock
- The cavity for the charging connector was enlarged
- Now there's a new slot/channel for hiding the cable, so that it can be routed and coming out of the dock cleanly from the back :)
- The base of the model was thickened, as with the cable slot the piece was originally relatively brittle/easy to break
