This is a flush wall or surface mount for the Echo Dot. It includes a cut-out for power/audio and also has wall-facing, triangular cut-outs to vent heat(yes, the echo dot does get warm on its own) and to allow full sound volume. The retaining ring is designed to only cover the outer half of the circumference of the light ring. I did this so you could print it will clear/translucent filament and allow the whole mount to light up OR print in an opaque filament and it will still look normal. No ports, mics, vents, buttons, or speaker sholes are covered with this model.
You can mount it to the wall using 1 to 3 drywall screws.That screw in flush, through the bottom.
The installation process goes as follows:
1. Hold the mount against the wall where you want it
2. Use up to 3, 1" drywall screws to mount it flush to the wall
3. Place the echo dot in the mount, making sure to line up the port with the cut-out
4. Push the retaining ring in with the narrower side fazing the echo dot
5. Plug it in and you're done.
The models are already in the correct orientation for printing.
This is a very precise model. So, if you have issues with parts not fitting, look below.
1. Echo dot doesnt fit || Check for stringing or other printing artifacts and remove them with an knife OR Bump the BASE and RING scale by +0.5%
2. Retension ring doesn fit || Check for stringing or other printing artifacts and remove them with an knife OR Bump the RING scale by -0.5%
3. Ring doesnt stay in || Bump RING scale by +0.5% OR Increase extrusion multiplier by ~5%
My Print Settings:
MakerGeek Raptor PLA - 235C
Hotbed - 45C
Layer Height - 0.2mm
Top Layers - 4
Top Layers - 4
Outline/Perimeter Shells - 3
Infill - 10 to 25%
Supports - None are needed if you have good bridging settings, but if you need them: Support Infill - 25%, Support Resolution 1mm, and Max Overhang Angle of 45 will create just enough support to keep the port cut-out from sagging.
