The Echobot - Echo Show Holder for the Echo Show 5

thingiverse

This is our new holder for the Echo Show 5. I designed most of the parts to be mounted with M4 countersunk screws DIN7991 and either hexnuts or threaded inserts. Some other parts, however need to be glued. The Echo show is fixed on the head plate with four magnets (neodym cube 5mm) which are glued into square holes. The head plate is screwed in the upper neck part and saved from turning by one or two small bolts Ø3,8mm. Both neck parts are fixed by screw and nut, but before mount the lower neck part on the body! The body is made from front and backside part because I found the printing seemed better this way. I had the parts laying on the inner surfaces where they will be glued later on. When both parts are glued together, they can be saved from sliding as long as the glue didn´t dry with the small (Keks) plate part. Also here, some threaded inserts are needed for neck and shoulder parts. Srew arms to shoulders with Screws and screw the hands in, using the M10 threading on the parts. I have this not too loose so I can adjust the hands to positions, I demand. Also some other Hand ideas are coming up soon. My wife wishes for a jedi light sword :-) The feet are screwed or glued to the legs: I glued them because I don´t need to move them afterwards. Then the legs are glued to the body. I printed everything with very low infill, about 10% to save filament. Mostly with a resolution of 0,2mm. The decor parts, I printed with a resolution of 0,15mm and 100%infill. Some parts require support. (Hands, shoulders, body parts...) I´m planning on a collection of jpgs with face impressions to put in a Picture album on Amazon cloud. Then the robot is looking around with funny faces. If you make your own face pictures, feel free to send them to me. Please note the ratio and/or resolution. 960x480px Have fun with this little guy :-)
