R2D2 Echo Dot Stand (2nd Gen & 3rd Gen)

thingiverse

I didn't like the only Echo Dot r2d2 Version here on thingiverse as it looks headless. On the other hand, I love the Echo Version with the light ring. So, I decided to merge a new one from different sources to fit the Amazon Echo Dot 2nd Gen. I made corrections in size and cut the upper part of R2D2-main body, adding some pins. Thanks to TheSpaceCowboy for designing this great and detailed R2D2, Jay_Charles for the idea and head of the Echo R2 version, and chunkysteveo's wall mount. You need every part once, except the pins (2x). I also added a version for less support with split main body (1+2), but I printed the whole part as one, which came out good as well. I printed this in flat position on my Ender 3 and it should also be completely printable on the Ender 2 (legs in 45° position or just use a brim) with an additional part cooling fan. Update: After turning the legs too often, the pins got a bit loose, so you may want to size them up a little bit (105%). Printing them in lying position and 100% infill makes them very strong. Some words about audio quality: the Echo Dot does not offer best audio quality. However, with its now elevated position and the holes below it, I think it sounds slightly better and also makes Alexa understand you better, maybe because the microphone on top is kind of separated from the speakers at the bottom. EDIT: Signum19 designed an extra version of the vent and the arm. I added those to the files. EDIT: To fit Echo Gen 3, relmicro figured out that scaling to 121% works fine. Also using paperclips for fixating the legs is a great idea! Thanks for that info. Check his make! Happy printing and show me your results!
