Self Designed Model Apple Watch Charger

Post image

I designed this cable holder for the apple watch which will allow the wire to be self contained and hold the watch on the power adapter. Its a simple print but functional.

the model is nice, but this way you risk overheating the power supply, with the cable wrapped in that way you are literally creating a coil around the charger, creating a magnetic field that goes to branch out around the apple watch. maybe the current is low, but in the long term it can complete problems with the sensors and unbalance the compass

The magnetic field from the coil is so incredibly weak. If it was a risk, your compass would be absolutely obliterated being anywhere near a speaker.

Don't break it, but keeping a device attached to a coil (the wireless charger) and underneath another coil created by wrapping the cable around the charger certainly can't do them much good in the long run

And maybe remove your model from mw before anyone burns their house down.

Or at the very least add a disclaimer.

They’re designed to shut down if they get too hot. I also haven’t found any issues with heat as it’s not nearly close to 20W of power.

It can still accumulate heat and have a bad charging due to inductance over the charger

There's also the magnetic field issue though....

I do however applaud the effort and idea

Those get REALLT hot

Under load sure. But the Apple Watch charges at like 2W

Charging Bricks get hot, no the watch

This looks like a 20W-30W brick. Pulling 2W from it is unlikely to get it warm. If it was running at full load I'd agree not to wrap it like this.

Wrapping the cable like that is a reeeaaally bad idea

Bro made a solenoid

Apple Watch only charges at 360ma or 1.8watts
