Arcade Stand for Echo Show 5

This is my first project, and my first time using Autodesk Fusion 360. I wanted my Echo Show 5 to look like an arcade machine, and to be a 3d printable project. My initial idea was to create a stand that would hold the Show 5, however shortly after finishing the design I realized that it would be far too big to 3d print on my Ender 3 V2 Neo. This Instructable guides you through the entire process of making the final one.

Items needed to create at home:

• 3d printer
• Computer to slice files
• Filament
• Echo Show 5

Items I used:

• Computer
• Fusion 360
• Ender 3 V2 Neo
• Black PLA
• Echo Show 5

Since this was my first Fusion 360 project I watched Product Design Online's Learn Autodesk Fusion 360 in 30 days to help me. The first part was to sketch a rough shape of an arcade machine, I traced the image I found on DevianArt.com. After that, I extruded the sketch to around 10mm wider than my Show 5. Next I cut out a hole for the screen and made space for the Show 5 to fit in, then made side panels so it looks more realistic. Then I made sure that all of the measurements matched the Show 5 and made a lip at the back so the Show 5 sits flat.

Printing was the easy, yet time consuming stage, it took about 7 iterations of the size and minor details to get the print time down to around 7 hours. I simply set it running the entire time I was in school and everything worked first time. I used tree supports (pictures after they have been removed) so it took less time. The file is attached and on Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6521109), so anyone can print.

Unfortunately, my Show 5 crashed and never turned back on while I was trying to prepare the software. Amazon are sending me a new one but it has not arrived yet, when it comes I plan to edit this part and show the completed thing and software completed.
