I have recently changed my bedroom TV layout so now I only need one remote control to access my TV, sound bar and server. But finding a place for this one remote control has been an effort until I decided to make one on my 3D Printer.
First a quick design in OpenScad which took only about 20 minutes from go to whoa.
As you can imagine the code is very simple:
//TV Remote Holder
//TV Remote size = approx 20 by 47.5,height = 80
thk=3; //wall thickness
ht= 80; //height of container
wide=46;
dpth=21;
scrw=4; //diameter of fixing screw
bck=110; //height of back including fixing
//end variables
$fn=80;
//Body
difference(){
translate([0,0,0])cube([wide+(thk*2),dpth+(thk*2),bck+thk]);
translate([thk,thk,thk])cube([wide,dpth,ht+(thk*2)]);
//create back mount
translate([-1,thk,ht+thk])cube([wide+2+(thk*2),dpth+(thk*2),ht+(thk*2)]);
//Screw hole
translate([(wide+(thk*2))/2,thk*1.5,bck-(scrw*2)])rotate([90,0,0])cylinder(h=(thk*2),d=scrw);
//Taper for 6G by 18 screw head countersink
translate([(wide+(thk*2))/2,thk+.1,bck-(scrw*2)])rotate([90,0,0])cylinder(h=2,d1=6.7,d2=scrw);
}
I printed a tiny section of the base to check the sizing, made a slight adjustment then printed the whole thing. Was very pleased with the result
The surface is not perfect but frankly I have the cheapest model printer and I am very happy with its output.
declutter me thinks.
