Kindle Fire HD8 2017 Gen 7 and 2018 Gen 8 Wall Mount

Wall mount designed for the Kindle Fire HD8, 7th and 8th Generation released in 2017 and 2018.Primarily intended as a dashboard for home automation systems such as Home Assistant.

Designed to use a readily available 90 degree Micro-USB Cable (StarTech USB2AUB2RA2) and hide the cable from view.

A spacer allows the tablet to 'float' away from the wall, while allowing the USB cable to enter a wall box.

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.

Mountings allow the tablet to be positioned either in landscape or portrait orientation.

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

PRINT SIZE - YOU NEED A BIG BED
The front frame requires a print bed that has a minimum 244mm wide print area. Please ensure you can print this size before buying the STLs!

You will not be able to fit this design on an Ender 3 (or similar).

CHECK YOUR PRINTABLE AREA BEFORE BUYING - WE WILL NOT PROVIDE REFUNDS IF THIS DESIGN IS TOO BIG FOR YOUR PRINTER - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

PERSONAL USE ONLY!
Files are provided for personal use only. Sharing the files or selling printed versions is strictly prohibited without 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 table.
