We lose our AppleTV remote all the time. I blame Apple for a rather blah design. This fixes many of those bad choices.

Apple (IMHO) really lacked in the design of its remotes. You can't tell which way is up, and they're hard to hold and easy to lose. This causes us to lose our AppleTV remote all the time. It slides under the table, gets lost in sofa cushions, and slips under blankets.
So, collaborating with my family, we decided to design a better remote holder. We had a standard 4th generation AppleTV. It had to meet the following criteria:
- Hard to lose.
- Easy to find.
- Well oriented remote.
I used my design skills and came up with The Traffic Cone (v1 shown below). It would no longer slide under anything, it was always visually obvious (thanks, Prusa orange!), and it held the remote up with the correct orientation.
…and there was much rejoicing.
For 2 years, The Traffic Cone v1 ruled our sofa and TV space. We never lost or misplaced it anymore. Times were good.
Then, I decided to upgrade to the new AppleTV4k. And, wouldn't you know it, Apple decided to change their remote. A little bigger and easier to fit in the hand. You could feel front from back, but still, no top from bottom. And, it got lost just as easy. Due to the position of the new “Mic” button on the new remote it would no longer fit into The Traffic Cone v1. Unless that is, you cracked off the top and stuck it in with a piece of Alien Tape.
That worked for a month or so, until we needed to wrestle the remote out to charge it. It was then we decided we need to start again, and make a new The Traffic Cone.
The Traffic Cone v2 is here!!
We have a total re-design.
- This fits the new AppleTV4k remote perfectly yet allows removal.
- The base is organic in design fits nicely in your hand, and won't ‘bite’ if you hit a corner or edge when it is passed.
- It is weighted to stand upright (in most stations) when toppled.
- It has an easy-access Lightning charge port at the bottom.
- It is easy to see, hard to lose.
I've provided gCode files for both PETG and PLA where there is an infill modifier for the lower 10cm of the base to be 100% filled. This makes it bottom heavy. 75º from vertical center, and it will wobble back upright. See…
This was designed in Fusion360.
