Nest Hello 45 degree mount and 1/4 inch spacer plate

thingiverse

I just bought a Nest Hello Doorbell to replace my dead Ring Pro doorbell. I saw on a forum that someone was looking for a 45 degree mount so I designed one. I previously designed a spacer/mounting plate that is 1/4 inch thick to allow more room for wires and to cover some existing holes. It is two pieces. the base which is flat mounts to the wall or door frame. It has holes for screws and wires. The body is the 45 degree portion. It has guides, but not holes for the mounting screws to attach the metal mounting plate supplied by Nest to the 45 degree base. It also has a pass through hole for the wires that lines up with the metal plate and the base. Print both in the orientation they load in. Install the base plate. I would suggest that you mount the metal plate to the 45 degree adapter which requires self drilling screws or some predrilled holes, first. Then mount this assembly to the base with a strong glue. I say to mount the metal plate before gluing in case you don't drill it right and have to print a second 45 degree body. If you rotate the 45 degree body, it will work angled to the left or to the right. Since you will be drilling holes in the 45 degree adapter, I would print it with 4 outside layers and at least 30% infill. Do not over tighten your screws to avoid stripping the plastic. I printed it and the parts work well. I have not tried mounting it as I don't need my Nest Hello at 45 degrees. I use the same hole locations that I used on a larger mounting plate I created and that one works so this one should also. The large flat cover plate/spacer should be printed face side down.
