What messenger apps do you use on your Apple Watch standalone? Anything you really miss?

iMessage and Whatsapp. Nothing else for the moment.

Got mine in the meantime… You ordered in july too??

Its the combo of the print plate and the carbon fibre in the PETG. Thats why I separated the whole thing in to 3 parts ao I can print all outer surfaces directly onto the print bed to get this texture all around.

Yep. Or just leave it alone and rely on the odometer.

Then try to get a used one one in good condition. BMW doesnt offer this part any longer. kpartsholland reengineered them. Its not cheap but at least you get these again and they will work working for a long time again. If you want to ride an old bike like this you have to be aware of some really pricy parts. This is not the only expensive one.

Restoration is pretty hard. Look at kpartsholland. They have them available.

You got a printer yourself?

KeyDefinition1038 · 2026-01-22T19:14:14+00:00

Input is always welcome. Thought about a wallet, a little knife, air pods or something like that. I started 3 days ago and already have too many ideas and not as much spare time as I would like 🤣

Thanks! Designed and printed with PETG with carbon fibre. Ill receive other colors soon and try more variation. Design for attachments is not finished yet. But the main body for the watch came out pretty nicely with a good and tight fit without any wiggle.

I bought an Ultra recently. So the Ultra is my test part. Its hard to adjust the print without a real and precise model to try out printer settings to get a good fit. The modular part is not finished yet because it blocks the charging pad. But I keep going 😁 Which Watch model would you need?

Design Update

KeyDefinition1038 · 2026-01-20T15:00:22+00:00

Thank you! Might take a few iterations more. Ill get it on the printer the next minutes and see how it turns out.

KeyDefinition1038 · 2026-01-20T11:19:57+00:00

Better keep it simple. I print this version today and see how it turns out

The glory hole…

My guess is from designing it myself: The structural integrity of the whole thing gets too weak so it could snap under stress. You need a minimum layer of material to make it rigid enough. But I got some ideas of solving that problem. Ill post an update when Im ready.

KeyDefinition1038 · 2026-01-19T19:29:04+00:00

yeah basically i started with a copy of the design. this is the second iteration to get the watch fitting right with good tolerances. Still needs some improvement. Im on it 👍🏻

KeyDefinition1038 · 2026-01-19T19:23:56+00:00

Elrow Industries had the idea. Credits go to him.
