I made an apple watch charging stand in the shape of a rotar from the mazda wankel rotary engines. The blue is from putty I used to hold the charger in place temporarily. I originally made this in tinker cad with basically the same process. i go to springbank community highschool or schs for short

Supplies

fusion 360 or tinkercad, 3d printer

first step is to open fusion and i used a pre existing file i uploaded on thingiverse (heres the link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5023862) to make it faster and easier but you can create your own if you want. so upload the file and open it

next cut out the middle section right neear the middle ring and discard the outside and keep the inner ring. then use the cylinder function to fill in this inner ring.

then center the object you just made in to the rotar's hole and after than use the box function to attach the rotar to the middle part. i used three boxes but you can use as many as you like. to make it clean make sure these boxes dont poke through to the other side of the rotar or fills in the rings underneath.

next tilt the rotar up 45 degrees( or preferred angle) and use the box function to attach the stand to it and do the same as the last step and make sure the boxes dont obstruct any of the rotar parts just to make it look nicer. now all you have to do is import it into your slicer and print. ( you can print the stand seperatly to make the print easier and less time consuming.
