Please give me a like up top if you think this project is useful, and I'd love to read your feedback in the comments if it helps you out or needs improvement. *** *Edit 10/29/2020: I DO NOT RECOMMEND YOU USE THIS STAND YET!!! The current version (v1.1) muffles the Echo speaker due to it's open bottom design.* This is a work in progress. I like the angled look of 2020's 4th Gen Echo Dot, but have no need to buy another one. I also have trouble with the wall mounted 3rd Gen in my kitchen. It is under the cabinet, and in a landing spot for miscellaneous things. As a result, the Echo can't hear us half the time. I decided to make a stand that gives the 3rd gen some semblance of the angled and spherical look of it's successor. It also gets Alexa out of the sound tunnel on the kitchen counter. The mount is hollow, with a slot in back for cord storage. It's a bit small for the entire cord, but does offer some utility. This is v1.1 of my design. It does the job, but the aesthetics aren't there yet. I also shouldn't have used orange for my test. The contrast against a black Echo puts a hurt on my eye balls.
