This may look like a decorative print created for aesthetics, but it has more of a functional purpose, but with one caveat.

Philips Hue Motion Sensor is not only a convenience device, but also a security device. The security functionality of the device may work the best when it is invisible to the burglers.

 

While it is not possible to cover the PIR lens, I made this model to experiment camouflaging it on wooden interior surfaces of my house.

 

Print with organic/tree supports. Maybe supports are not necessary, but supports don't significantly increase the print time either.

Infill does not matter. Layer thickness is 0.2 mm (standard setting in Cura).

Material used: Wood PLA (light oak)

One coat of epoxy applied, and then,

Three coats of warm oak varnish applied.

 

Personally, I think if the model is sliced at a 45 degree angle, it improves the wood-like texture.

 

The model is very easy to print.

Very easy to remove from the sensor if you don't like it.

You can replace the battery without removing this cover.

 

In my design, I covered the LED, but it is barely visible when flashing (only 0.4 mm of PLA covers it). However, if you want the LED to be fully exposed, feel free to remix and move the hollow cylinder 0.4 mm down.
