Hi all,

Is anyone able to make a doorbell mount/wedge for me at all? Obviously I'll pay for it plus postage.

It's a Google Nest 2nd gen doorbell 45º wedge/mount, I've been onto the website called "printables" and found something.

Or can someone recommend another site that is better for the download of the files required, as I've done a google search but non the wiser if there is any better a site.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks all.

I'm happy to print some for you but I only have PLA+ so not sure on longevity outside (should be okay for a doorbell mount I expect) and I only have black or white, if that is okay throw me your address and I'll get some printed and posted for you.

Hey, that’s great thanks so much. Yes black perfect tbh, I’m not sure on what the differences are as you’ve mentioned pla+, so non the wiser. Luckily the area for my doorbell doesn’t really get lots of rain or strong sunlight against it, hopefully that could help the longevity of it. Once again thanks, and when I get home from work I’ll fire a message off with details etc.

Pla will deform in the sun. Not really good for outside use.. You might be lucky with it if your doorbell doesn't get too much sunlight

Fortunately it doesn’t get direct sunlight, would you advise to not bother then?

It should be fine so long as it's not in direct sunlight, white would be better if it gets any at all as it'll heat up less, I can happily print some white ones as well, printer is currently busy printing a helmet so I'll get those done tomorrow.

Thanks so much, it’s very much appreciated. Certainly no rush for me, so whenever is convenient for you will be good for me.
