TV remote 4x (6x) holder/tidy/stand

thingiverse

I was fed up with losing track of the TV and other remotes. I scoured Thingiverse, but none of the designs met my expectations, so I created this solution myself. It's compact, functional, and surprisingly simple. This holder accommodates four handsets while occupying minimal space on the coffee table. The black PLA finish looks excellent, and the prototype was a garish purple, much to my dismay. The three slots measure 52 x 28 for Panasonic and similar devices, while the fourth slot is slightly larger to accommodate the new Humax 'curvy' handset at 59 x32. The overall dimensions are 126 x 75 x 48. Printing at a steady pace yielded good quality results in approximately six hours, though I'm confident it can be printed faster with some optimization. Upon closer inspection of the purple prototype photos, you may notice some quality degradation near the top edge due to underextrusion caused by a jammed filament spool resulting from poor spool winding. This mishap went undetected until too late, and I was left frustrated. UPDATE: Inspired by the success of my 4x handset stand designed for a friend in purple, I've since created an upgraded version with six slots. The new file is included here. Slot dimensions remain unchanged, but an additional full-width slot accommodates two more handsets, measuring 118 x 25. The overall size has increased to 126 x 103 x 48, and I added small blocks at the bottom of the front right slot to enhance the Humax curvy handset's sitting angle. This revised model took nearly nine hours to print with slow HQ settings but boasts an exceptional finish in black PLA, making it my best quality-printed item yet.
