TPU print cover for firestick

Give your Fire TV Stick remote a grippy, shock‑absorbing armor with this custom TPU cover, designed specifically for flexible filament printing. The model is optimized for everyday use: easy to slip on, snug once in place, and protective without adding unnecessary bulk.

Features

• Tailored fit: Designed around the Fire TV Stick remote shape for a tight, rattle‑free fit.
• Shock absorption: TPU acts as a soft bumper, helping protect the remote from drops and impacts.
• Improved grip: Slightly textured surfaces and flexible material make the remote easier to hold, especially with dry or sweaty hands.
• Full button access: All buttons, microphone, and IR/emitter areas remain accessible—no interference with normal use.
• Raised edge protection: Slightly raised front lip helps protect the remote if it lands face‑down.
• Lanyard/strap option (if present in your model): Small hole/loop at the bottom for attaching a wrist strap or keyring.

Printing recommendations

• Material: TPU (Shore 95A or similar). Softer TPUs also work but may feel looser.
• Layer height: 0.2 mm is a good balance between detail and print time.
• Perimeters: 3 walls for strength and elasticity.
• Infill: 15–25% (gyroid, grid, or cubic). Most of the strength comes from the walls.
• Top/bottom layers: 4–5 layers.
• Print orientation: Print the cover standing upright or on its back, depending on your slicer preview and bed adhesion. Choose the orientation that gives you clean inner walls and a smooth outer surface.
• Supports: Usually not required if your printer handles moderate overhangs. Enable minimal supports only if your slicer shows problematic areas.
• Speed: Reduce speed for TPU:
• Walls: ~20–30 mm/s
• Infill: ~30–40 mm/s
• Cooling: Low to moderate part cooling (too much can reduce layer adhesion in TPU).

Fit and usage notes

• Test fit gently: After printing, flex the cover slightly and slide the remote in from the bottom. TPU will stretch a bit and then hug the remote.
• If the fit is too tight or too loose:
• Too tight → scale the model to 101–102%.
• Too loose → scale down slightly to 98–99%. Small scaling changes in TPU make a noticeable difference.
• Cleaning: TPU can be wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid strong solvents.

Compatibility

• Designed for: Amazon Fire TV Stick remote (specify generation here if needed, e.g. “3rd gen Alexa Voice Remote”).
