This is a plug mount for the Google Home requiring no additional hardware.

There are two variations - a bottom mount and a side mount. If you have room the bottom mount is recommend as it is a bit more stable and avoids the slight lean of the side mount.

I was able to print without supports and I just had to cleanup a few strands. If your printer doesn't handle overhangs well you may need print with supports.

Post-Printing =============

To install

  1. Pull the bottom cover off your Google Home and slide the top half in until it is pushed in evenly
  2. You should be able to slide the bottom cover back on at this point. Next you can can slide your AC adapter in (the plug side of the adapter will slide in firsts from the front with the cord facing down). Finally tidy up the cord and plug it in

    How I Designed This

    I used Tinkercad with a mixture of brainstorming and prototypes until I had something that was sufficiently sturdy without wasting materials. I try to avoid anything that requires supports, so you can see from some of my middle prototypes that I started with a cutout in the cylindrical support for the Google Home to overhang the aggressive overhangs. The flexibility of the materials in this case meant it possible to accidentally apply enough force for the supports to pull away and have the Google Home drop.

    I wasn't too worried about the bottom mounted design, but I needed the side mounted variation for my location and I was a bit worried that there might be enough forward torque to eventually have the plug work its way force, so I tried to minimize this as my designs progressed along and tested it by repeatedly applying small forces to the mount along with playing songs with a bunch of bass.
