This is a remote control holder for one of those color changing LED strips.  This is meant to be glued to my sons wall and become a permanent installation.

It should fit most of those LED remote strips with the color change remote - they all seem to look alike to me.

The “top” is left open so that the IR signal can reach the receiver which is mounted above it.

Note that I added some “glue” channels along the side for me to hot glue it to the wall.  I am printing this with letter-side up so I don't care about the supports ruining the look of the “backside” of this remote.

Note that the glow in the dark photo wasn't easy to take so I reused another photo from my Switch pro controller wall mount thing for illustrative purposes. Also note that I moved the letters around and reoriented them a bit to get some “randomness”.  Any actual Zonai translations are entirely unintentional so translate this at your own risk, Zelda fans!

Background on me and why I do this:


My name is Andreas and I have lived the first half of my life in the US and the second half in Sweden.  I contracted Reumatoid Arthritis when I was 19 years old and I am primarily using 3D printing and design to make my life easier.  I am a single dad of 2 boys going through a horrendous divorce and a boatload of medical problems so if you like my designs or if I saved you a trip to Home Depot or Biltema, then please consider donating on my Paypal page here

All proceeds will go to my divorce lawyer.


Design goals:

It should match the Zelda decor theme of my kids room

It should have one layer above which all else is a different color.  Makes printing cool stuff easier for people.

I should be able to easily insert and remove the remote to get to the battery compartment.  However, my 9 year old should NOT be tempted to just remove it from it's place since then it will be lost forever.

It should actually work (i.e. open IR port)

Printing notes:

Use supports.  Note that the included gcode contains a color change operation right when the zonai letters start coming out.  In my experience, do NOT use glow in the dark filament uless you know how to change a nozzle.  Also of note, when I printed mine I just started feeding in the glow in the dark stuff at approximately the right time.  I had like a good 10 minute window to swap the color!
