Goolge Home Mini splash proof v2

prusaprinters

<p>Hi, I made a version 2 which looks nicer and will be even more "splash proof".</p> <ul> <li>It's not<em>WATERPROOF</em>. It's "<em>Spash Proof</em>". If hanged outside under a roof or something, it should do the trick but not under a typhoon or hurricane ;)</li> <li>Hang it as in the picture, the plug on top. The holes for the music are angled down so water can't creep in.</li> <li>The plug hole is round and modeled for the google nest plug for the EU - I suspect it will fil other international formats - in any case, it fits North America.</li> </ul> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>Yes</p></div> <p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>large - 0.32 is fine</p> <p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div> <p><strong>Notes:</strong></p> <p>You can use the 2 files from option 1, or option 2. I like the format obj better but I don't think it makes any difference.</p> <p>The pattern design is not from the file. I used IdeaMaker as a slicer and you can add patterns. It's free and<em>very cool</em>. Whatch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFrSeppuGZg">Maker's Muse video</a> on using this.</p> <p>Make it 4 walls (I know, it will take longer) but the walls will be much more waterproof. Infill at 20% is fine then.</p> <p>If you're using international plugs - just print the lid first (fast) and check if it fits!</p> <p>You need to use support -zigzag is fine and can be 20% or something - the inside doesn't need to be nice. So you don't care after when removing it roughly. I didn't bother to clean all bits from support left.</p> <p>The whole thing took me something like 22 hours to print @ 0.32mm layer height.</p> <h3>Post-Printing</h3> <p>All very optionnal but...</p> <p>Once all tested, and also setup the google home so it plays, I decided to "glue gun seal it".</p> <ul> <li>I ran slowly the glue gun to fill the gap between the lid and the case (so I glue gunned after I closed the case. I didn't trust myself to be able to close it fast enough before the glue became hard)</li> <li>I then pull gently the plug until it's flush with the lid - and covered the hole with glue, going all around to "seal the plug" as much as possible. Be careful of not making the lid ticker with a blob of glue - it might make it hard to plug it.</li> <li>I decided then to just spray a clear varnish around the whole thing just to add ever more "splash proof-ness".</li> </ul> <h3>How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>Fusion 360</strong></p> <p>I added my original fusion 360 file - I struggled a bit to mix forms and body with so many curves. Enjoy remixing. I also added a .step file which I believe is the global standard for those.</p> </p></p> Category: Audio
