Im working with someone that has modeled up a V1 for me. I mentioned to him that there would probably be a group of individuals that would want one (or more) as well.

I would be interested in the group buy…looking good so far.
The solution I am thinking of would be to mount this at the location of an existing wall switch (not 2/3/4 way) and use that power to charge the Fire. In lieu of the switch, a smart bulb could be put in the respective lighting fixture. I’m not sure exactly how this would be fired up, e.g. making the power to the light always-on but using tapping off of it (safely) for the USB charge, but it’s a thought I would be curious in hearing any suggestions for.
I’ll be installing a recessed outlet box behind this, and running electrical from the nearest outlet. Then either using wireless charging or just the factory charger…haven’t quite decided.
Very cool! I’m definitely interested at the $25 level at least; and will consider higher prices after seeing improvements.
Thanks a lot for bringing this here.
I guess one thing I’d want to know is, how do they get the exact measurements, etc, and is there any chance of duplicating the general process easy enough to do same for other tabs/phones/devices?
Just so you know, I only have one Fire tab so far, but if it works out, I will get more of them, and will need mounts for them as well. I don’t have any plans to buy any more of them quite yet, but when I do, I will update here to increase my number according to however many Fires I have.
Oh…I just realized I don’t think this has been specifically stated yet…this is for the 7" Fire, right? lol
I am interested as well, I don’t have a fire tab right now (have galaxy tab as well as ipads) but if this mount looks nice I am thinking of getting 2 fire tabs. What material will be used to print these ? Do you have any idea of how finishing would like ?
Not sure. I dont have a printer. There is some sort of epoxy type smoothening product that can be used. Otherwise I guess a little sandpaper or high build spray primer…if its that big of a deal.
Ive recommended a whole frame type system that is keyed for the product to be slid into from the top, with the charging cable attached. Ill be sending out my tablet within the next couple days for him to use for modeling.
I would be in for 2. I’d love it if, as previously suggested, the mount surrounded the tablet. I would like the tablet to look permanently mounted instead of “docked”
