The New Hotness

My Fitbit Charge 5 has become fussy about its exact position while snapped to its magnetic charger, so I thought elevating it above the usual clutter might improve its disposition:

FitBit Charge 5 stand - installed — FitBit Charge 5 stand – installed

The Charge 5 now snaps firmly onto its charger, the two power pins make solid contact, and it charges just like it used to.

The solid model comes from Printables, modified to have a neodymium ring magnet screwed into its base:

Fitbit Charge 5 stand - solid model section — Fitbit Charge 5 stand – solid model section

Which looks about like you’d expect;

FitBit Charge 5 stand - added magnet — FitBit Charge 5 stand – added magnet

A layer of cork covers the bottom and it sits neatly atop the USB charger.

The OpenSCAD source code punches the recesses and produces the bottom outline so LightBurn can cut the cork:

// FitBit Charge 5 Stand - base magnet
// Ed Nisley - KE4ZNU
// 2025-09-05

include <BOSL2/std.scad>

Layout = "Build";       // [Build, Base, Section]

module Stand() {
  difference() {
    left(38/2) back(65/2)
      import("Fitbit Charge 5 Stand.stl",convexity=10);

      down(0.05)
        cylinder(d=12.5,h=5.05,$fn=12);
      up(5.2)
        cylinder(d=3.0,h=10.0,$fn=6);
  }
}

//-----
// Build things

if (Layout == "Build")
  Stand();

if (Layout == "Base")
  projection(cut = false)
    Stand();

if (Layout == "Section")
  difference() {
    Stand();
    down(0.05) fwd(50)
      cube(100,center=false);
}
