Google Home Mini Buddy

myminifactory

This Google Home Mini Buddy is my first stab at designing something from scratch. I whipped up the design in Sketchup, which was no cakewalk. The face front and body can be printed without any supports needed. But for the face back, don't skimp on the supports – I did and it ended up a bit rickety. Since mine is stuck to a wall, it's not a big deal. You can assemble the pieces with some M4 bolts and screws – you'll need five of them. The holes for the bolts are a tight squeeze, so you can skip the nuts if you don't plan on taking it apart often. If you do use nuts, though, you can widen the holes a bit with a small file or drill bit.
