Echo Show 5 On-Screen Annoyances Mask

thingiverse

I'd like my Amazon Echo Show 5 to just behave as a digital alarm clock that responds to voice command, but it insists on displaying useless stuff on the screen even after I've disabled everything possible. We never asked for the nuisance "Alexa for your day" messages randomly popping up on our screens 2 years after purchasing the product (and consequently hiding the time). We never asked for continuous distractions courtesy of Amazon. Thus, I created this customizable mask to cover the screen, with cutouts for selected areas of the screen. In my case, I wanted to see the time, date, weather, and alarm time, and leave openings for the photosensor & camera. One will need to customize the SCAD file depending on your selected display/clock face. When printed in black, BDSM fans may think this looks like a bondage mask for a naughty AI, and I do agree that Alexa can be naughty -- like when I ask her to "add white caulk to my shopping list" and she "conveniently" misspells it. Designed to fit Gen1 and Gen2 Echo Show 5. Note: When modifying the SCAD file, note that sizes are in mm, and hole positions are measured from the left edge of Echo Show (x) and from the bottom of the Echo Show (y) to the center of the hole. Set a size dimension to 0 for unneeded holes.
