The Brief


We have a google home mini and until recently it has been plugged in on a shelf beneath a work surface, not very accessible. We decided we should probably mount somewhere a little more appropriate.

The Design

I decided to go with a cup shaped design which could be stuck on to the tiles in the kitchen. I modelled the cup shape in Autodesk Inventor using the loft tool and then hollowed out the part using the shell tool for the first time. Link to the design

Use

We stuck the holder on the tiles on the wall using an adhesive (sikaflex). The google home is now in an easily accessible place and can hear us from around the kitchen. I have since revised the design to make it a slightly tighter fit and more curved edges.

The end of the blind went crashing into the bracket attatching it to the window frame and promptly fell down... on to my head. Both brackets were broken but I was confident I could design and 3D print a new and better bracket. After taking all of the measurements (from a very awkward place) I started designing a new bracket (in Autodesk Inventor) which wedged in between the frame, window and exitsting bit of plastic. I got the correct fit on the 3rd test print from my Reprap Ormerod 1 and so the fourth one I printed out the full bracket. One side of the bracket just simply push fits into blinds but the other side needs to lock on to a bit of metal which tightens the spring. The brackets are mirrors of each other so I made a new part derived from the first one but mirrored...
