Google Gramaphone

Feel free to contribute to my work by showing your appreciation for those late nights with a generous tip or a fresh cup of coffee! This project is an innovative adaptation of multiple concepts. I started by printing the original Gramazon design, which was tailored for the Amazon Echo Dot 2nd Generation. While it successfully amplified the volume and gave the Echo a distinctive gramophone sound, I found it still fell short in terms of overall loudness. Undeterred, I decided to print the Echo 3rd Generation component to enhance the sound further. Unfortunately, when combined with the Gramazon, the improved sound quality was significantly muffled and lacked clarity. To address this issue, I designed an adapter that enables the Google Home Mini to fit snugly into the notch intended for the Echo Dot 3rd Generation. This addition is primarily aesthetic, as the Google speakers are upward-firing, negating the need for sound to emanate from the horn. Below, you'll find several attachment files: * Google Gramazon Whole 15mm: A single-part print that encompasses the entire bottom notch with a higher stand to support the Google Home Mini. * Google Gramazon Whole 10mm: Similar to the previous file but features a slightly lower stand for optimal placement. * Google Gramazon Lid: The top component that seals the notch and contains the Google Home Mini. * Adapter Files (10mm & 15mm): Round stands designed to be attached on top of an existing notch, allowing for easier customization. If you've already printed the notch, these adapters are a convenient alternative. When printing the entire notch, it's recommended to include supports throughout to ensure proper structural integrity, particularly around the charger port opening. Be cautious not to use thick supports, as they can be challenging to remove once printed. If you've already acquired the horn or the 3rd Gen Dot notch and lid, you only need to print the adapter files. The joint, neck, and ring files were generously provided by Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2845710).
