Amazon Echo Show 8 stand - 12mm Magnet Holes

thingiverse

Remixed from waschbaerbauch75 design of "Amazon Echo Show 8 stand": https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4182781 All I changed from the original Thing uploaded by waschbaerbauch75 was to increase the size of the holes to fit 12mm neodymium magnets in the Base which are easier to find at retail stores in the US. The holes are actually 12.75 when printed with a .4mm nozzle. This design includes four pieces: Stand - Print standing upright without support. Infill 25% Mount - Print upside down without support. Infill 80% Pin - print without support in the orientation you like. Infill 80% Base - Print with support touching build plate and use support blocker for the rounded edges. Infill 25% NOTE: It is important to print this upright because you will want to keep the slot for the mount smooth for easy installation. Printing flat will require supports in the slot which are hard to cleanly remove. To assemble you need a M4x20 screw, a M4 screw nut and a fitting washer. The M4 net will be tight but should fit by pressing in with needle-nose pliers. I used 12mm neodymium magnets (12 x 3mm) bought from the retail Home Depot store. I don't see the exact one online but 3 local Home Depots carried the 12 x 3mm magnets. I've include a photo of the pack I used. I also found these at Hobby Lobby that will fit (they are tight but can be pushed down with an unsharpened pencil): https://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Basic-Crafts/Magnets/Neodymium-Magnets---1-2%22/p/123549 Note: The base seemed solid with one magnet in each hole...but since I have kids that move the Echo Show 8 often I doubled the magnets in each hole and it attaches to the stand very firmly now. I would suggest that you place some hot glue over the magnets once they are in place to prevent them from shifting (or even jumping over to the other holes. I had to be careful to cover the magnets as I was inserting them because they are strong and will pull the others toward it when they get close.
