Kindle Fire HD10 2019 Gen9 & 2017 Gen7 Wall Mount

Wall mount designed for the Kindle Fire HD10, 2019 (Gen9) AND 2017 (Gen7). Whilst the two generations are physically the same size, the visible screen on the older generation is slightly larger and the Micro-USB connector requires slightly more space.

The differences are so small that I've now included separate front frame STLs and a rear frame that will work with both generations

Primarily intended as a dashboard for home automation systems such as Home Assistant.

The 2019 version is designed to use a readily available 90 degree USB-C Cable (UGREEN) and hide the cable from view.

The 2017 version is designed around the a 90 degree Micro USB cable from StarTech (USB2AUB2RA2).

A spacer allows the tablet to 'float' away from the wall, while allowing the USB cable to enter a wall box. You don't need the spacer if you have another suitable method of getting the power cable behind the mount.

Mounting holes are provided for direct attachment to both UK (60mm hole spacing) and US (83.34mm hole spacing) single back boxes with additional mounting holes for screwing directly to a wall if needed.

There is also an extension to the power button, allowing the tablet to be shut down/restarted while in the mount.

WARNING - YOU NEED A BIG PRINT BED!!!!
You will not be able to print this design on an Ender 3 or similar printer.
Minimum bed size requirement is 291mm with skirts disabled. All prints in the images were produced on an ageing Creality CR-10s with a 300mm square bed.
CHECK YOUR PRINTABLE AREA BEFORE BUYING - WE WILL NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS IF THIS DESIGN IS TOO BIG FOR YOUR PRINTER - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

UPDATES

Amended rear frame with widened cable routing channel closest to USB connector allowing better routing for the Gen7's Micro-USB connector.
Additional front frame with slightly larger opening for Gen7 screen

Feb 2022
An additional front frame is now included - the original only had a circular camera opening. The revised version has a symmetrical slot that also exposes the ambient light sensor.

FILES ARE PROVIDED FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY
Sharing of files or selling of printed items is prohibited with our express permission.

All files are oriented in their intended placement. Supports are not required anywhere.
Recommended settings for a 0.4mm nozzle:

Spacer and Wall Plate

• Layer Height: 0.28
• Top and Bottom Layers: 4
• Walls/Perimeters: 3
• Infill: 20%

Front Frame

• Layer Height: 0.2mm
• Top and Bottom Layers: 4
• Walls/Perimeters: 3
• Infill: 20%
• Print front face down on a Glass or PEI bed for the very best results. Make sure your bed tramming (levelling) is 100% spot on!

Power Switch

• Layer Height: 0.12mm (you want this as smooth as possible!)
• Top and Bottom Layers: 5
• Walls/Perimeters: 5
• Infill: Doesn't matter - the walls will make it solid.
• This is a small part so you may want to print it on a raft or use a few lines of brim (you will need to clean those off carefully).

Post Processing

Depending on how well your printer and profiles are set up, you may need to trim/sand the wall plate and frame where the power button resides. It obviously needs to travel smoothly and not get stuck.

Marks On Your Tablet

The wall frame WILL create marks on the edge of your tablet. If this bothers you, I would suggest putting some thin tape between the wall plate clips and the edge of the tablet.
