Amazon Echo Dot v2 Weatherproof Ceiling Mount

thingiverse

I needed a waterproof Alexa device outside on my pergola to control music, but couldn't find any weatherproof Amazon devices or mounts, so I created this custom one. I chose the Echo Dot v2 because its speaker and microphones are on the flat exposed surface, not around the outer diameter like the Echo Dot v3. This ceiling mount design is specifically tailored for that purpose. I printed it in PETG for excellent UV resistance and better temperature stability compared to PLA. To ensure maximum strength where the screws thread into the box, I used 100% infill. A couple of small holes were drilled to attach the box securely, and a bit of silicone caulk was applied around the screws between the box and the mounting surface. Six stainless steel #8 x 1" screws (two for attaching the box and four for securing the lid) provide extra support.
