AppleTV4K Remote+Airtag

thingiverse

What do I lose the most around the house? Gotta be the TV remote. The Apple TV remote works over WiFi, so it doesn't even need line of sight to work. I tend to carry it around and set it down anywhere. When AirTags came out, it seemed like a perfect match (should've been a built-in function), but since they aren't flat, sticky tape would not work. Hence, this Remote Case. This one is for the new Apple TV 4K, w/Siri remote. I have two files here, one with the AirTag on the back, the other on the front. One may be more comfortable than the other for you. Extra bonus, the plastic around the Siri button helps prevent accidental activation, which was becoming an issue for me. In addition, the extra bulge for the tag provides a bit of tactile feedback, simplifying proper orientation in your hand. Due to the shape, I printed it standing up, with a brim, with tree supports only for the bottom hole. I thought I might need a raft, but got better results with just a brim. I blocked the upper holes as they didn't seem to need it much. Minor post processing on the easy outside curves. Might need a minor touch inside if any zits present themselves. It can print fairly coarse. Nothing is significantly structural. Thin enough that there's no room for infill. This has already proved its worth when the remote and my phone slipped out of my pocket and I only noticed the phone. When I needed it later, Find My came in handy. Never would have found it otherwise. BTW. The silver part of the airTag is unobstructed as that is part of the speaker. I hope it helps someone. After using it for awhile, I added a new version. This one has a wider base, which should help with printing and feels better in my hand. YMMV Full disclosure, although an entirely original creation, it was inspired a bit by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4852945 . . . Thanks Tim!
