That’s right, I made a convenient vertical(ish) stand for it!
I got the idea of doing this when, by accident, I discovered that when the assistant is vertical like this, the microphones pick up speech much better.
Of course, everything is open source. You can print the stand yourself! Find all the model files here. Here is a picture of the sliced shape, ready to print:
Design improvements and suggestions more than welcome!
Is looks very nice and very professional.
Nice one! And lends itself to be extended to a version that includes a speaker that can be connected to the 3.5mm connector
Yes; I am hoping for remixes that include a larger speaker or a powered speaker or something similar that allows the device to work seamlessly with something that is louder and has a deeper sound quality. As usual, open source for the win.
Of course! Parametric or bust.
Anyone got a recommendation for a3d printers
And other needed supplies if it may be hard to figure out,
I use Prusa. Any of their FDM printers will work for this. See the quality on that thing.
For filament I got good results with Esun white PLA. But Prusament is very good looking too. Try a satin white.
I’ve got an a1 mini from bambu lab running here since a few weeks, very happy with it. Very intuitive to use. Only been using bambu lab filament so far, the matt ones particularly look great.
I’ve been using a Prusa printer for about 3 years now. It’s an older model (MK3s+) so it doesn’t have all the ‘bells & whistles’ of a more modern model but it’s a workhorse & just works 99% of the time. For filament, I use Hatchbox most of the time.
I have released a version two of the stand. It supports the back of the device now. Take a look:
The original version is available for download too.
Thanks for this! I printed v.1 on my A1 Mini yesterday afternoon and it looks and works fantastically.
