    Hey there, sorry to bother you again, but would it be possible for you to share the original project file? I was planning on having the case CNC machined, but STL files are not suitable for this purpose, and all my attempts to convert it have resulted in files with artifacts which the various CNC services have rejected. If I had the original file, I could make my adjustments in whatever software you used and then directly export it as a clean STEP file.
    Thanks a lot!

    Holy Christ on toast, that clamp hedgehog :D

    This project sounds awesome though. Probably the one thing I miss most since switching over from my trusty old Pebble is the physical buttons. I understand that touchscreens are very flexible and make super compact device like this way easier to manufacture, but I just vastly prefer physical buttons, especially on something that's on my wrist. They're just way more precise.

    Depending on how your project goes, I might replicate it one day.

    Awesome, thank you so much!

    I have taken the liberty of editing this thing a bit further. The wristband mounting points were not large enough in their new positions, resulting in some valleys between them and the main body. I also closed up the holes on the outsides.

    Since all metal 3D printing services are either ridiculously expensive where I live or have long (and also relatively expensive) shipping, I'm probably going to fire up my resin printer and do a test print before pulling the trigger. But in the end, I'd like to have this thing in either blackened steel or polished brass. Maybe I'll get around to posting some pictures.

    Hey there, sorry to revive this thread two months later, but I really like this approach and am considering doing this myself. However, I'd like to use this opportunity to fix one of my major annoyances that I had when switching from my trusty old Pebble to the Bangle - the 20mm strap. So if I'm going to have new strap mounts anyway, why not make them 22mm ones like on my old Pebble?

    Since I'm not an expert at 3D modeling and STL files are not ideal for being altered after the fact anyway, I'd like to ask you: Would it be easy for you to make a 22mm version of this as well? If that's too much to ask, could you maybe send me the original project file so I can try and figure out how to do it myself? That would be extremely appreciated!

    Thank you for this amazing design!
