Alexa Anemone Stand - Echo Dot Gen 2

myminifactory

Inspired by sea anemones, this two-part print helps spruce-up a Gen 2 Amazon Echo Dot. Check out the video to see it in action: https://youtu.be/n4HUHfdljgI The Sea Anemone top has a hole in the middle so all buttons are still accessible, and vents placed around the entire microphone perimeter to allow for the dot to hear you. Also, for a glowing effect when the dot wakes up, use some translucent filament! I'd recommend printing this with some infill. My currently printed model did not have infill and while it glows great, there are some rough spots in the print because of overhangs.  The 'stone' look base allows for sound to travel through. I recommend printing this by standing it up on the flat end. It only requires minor infil and most of it can actually print without it, just some detail at the front may get lost without infill. Both fit together to add a striking look for the Echo dot, but still gives complete access to the plugs and the Amazon logo on the front when you look closely.
