Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet Dock Holder with audio and power access

thingiverse

A versatile landscape dock for Amazon Fire HD 8 tablets with built-in ports for USB power and audio cable connections. To create a seamless Spotify experience, I required a dock that would securely hold the tablet in place while also providing constant power and connecting it to my hi-fi system via 3.5mm audio cables. This dock features easy access points for both power and audio, along with a cleverly designed hole to press the sleep/lock button and a recessed area for the volume rocker, ensuring that the tablet won't inadvertently activate once it's been set in place. The tablet fits snugly into the dock after attaching the audio and USB cables. The adjustable stands can be easily slotted and then glued into position, allowing me to customize the angle of the dock to my liking - similar to other docks on the market. The main body of the dock is divided into two parts, making it compatible with most standard desktop printers. To assemble the dock, simply use strong glue to secure the parts together, as well as the stands at the rear. For added strength, a diamond-shaped reinforcement can be inserted in the center of the build - though this is optional, depending on the adhesive used. A single-body piece design is also available for those with larger build plates measuring 143x244mm. The dock comes equipped with a common right-angled micro USB cable and an audio cable from UGREEN, which features a flat design. You can find more information about this cable on Amazon. For reference, I've replaced my previous LG Nexus 4 dock with this new design. If you're interested in seeing the original dock, you can find it on Thingiverse under the ID: 2748265
