IKEA Skadis Amazon Echo Dot (4th/5th Gen) Holder (Clear Light-Ring Edition)

This is a custom-designed mount for the IKEA Skadis pegboard system, perfectly contoured to hold the spherical Amazon Echo Dot (4th Gen and 5th Gen, with or without Clock).

The "Floating" Light Ring Feature Unlike standard bulky speaker mounts that hide the bottom of the device, this holder is specifically designed to be printed in Clear PETG. Because the Echo Dot's LED notification ring is located at its base, printing this mount in clear plastic allows the lights to diffuse and glow beautifully through the shelf itself.

The "Aniva Modular Hook" System This design uses my standard, detachable Skadis hooks.

• Maximum Strength: By printing the hooks separately laying flat on the build plate, the layer lines run along the length of the hook. This makes them stronger compared to hooks printed vertically.

• Universal Compatibility: These are the exact same hooks used in my other Skadis organizers.

• Easy Replacement: If a hook ever breaks, or you want to move the shelf to a different pegboard system later, you only need to reprint the small hooks.

Open Source / Remix Friendly

I believe in true open hardware. I have provided the high-quality source files to the community to make remixes and mods easier.

• Feel free to download the STEP file to modify the shelf size for different speakers or adapt the hooks.

Print Instructions & "Glass" Clear Settings

To get the base to actually look clear and transmit the light ring (instead of looking like frosted, cloudy plastic), you have to print hot and slow with zero cooling.

1. The Hooks (For Strength):

• Orientation: Print flat on their side.

• Material: Any (PLA, PETG, ASA).

• Settings: Standard speeds, 2 walls, 100% infill.

2. The Holder Body (For Transparency):

• Orientation: Print flat on the build plate.

• Material: Clear PETG (e.g., Elegoo Rapid PETG Clear).

• Settings: See the extreme overrides on my GitHub below to achieve optical clarity.

Assembly

1. Insert the printed hooks into the back slots of the speaker holder (use a drop of superglue if you want them permanent).

2. Mount onto your Skadis board, route your power cable, and drop in your Echo Dot!
