Wise Owl

thingiverse

A Brilliant Owl that holds the wisdom of the world within its grasp, or an Alexa Echo Dot V2 in disguise anyway. There is also a space in its head for a Wemos D1 mini with RGB shield to add a night light feature. You can run the USB cable through its body to keep it organized. I got a micro USB double-ended cable from Amazon to power the Dot and the Wemos from one connection. I printed mine in Neutral PETG from Real filament, so the lights glow right through. The model is split into three parts to fit on my printer and make it a much shorter print time of not 14 hours. I glued the body to the feet and the head just sits on top, giving easy access to the Dot. The back cover isn't perfect; I have a sliver of support wedged in to hold it in place. I might redesign it to improve it. The one pictured was a gift for my Mum, who loves Owls. The design has evolved since then as I didn't realize the sound came out the bottom and had to drill holes. Now the model has proper sound exits.
