3D Printing a discreet wall mount shelf for the Aura Carver Mat

By Robert Ellison.

I got the Aura Carver Mat for Christmas. It's a nice 10 inch digital photo frame with great Google Photos integration - hook it up to an album, invite people to the album, add photos. You can also use the Aura app for sharing but a Google Photos album is way easier. I got this to replace an Echo show because I had started spending too much time switching off all the ads. Even after you've toggled off every bit of marketing fluff the thing still shows you ads. It's one thing if it was sold as ad supported but quite another to continually sneak them in via software updates. I like Alexa and so I replaced it with the Echo Studio (so much sound) and this frame which so far just works.

One minor detail is that this frame is designed to sit on a desk or shelf and does not contemplate living on a wall. I designed this discrete shelf for wall mounting. It's pretty small which is good, I'd recommend some double sided tape or similar to stop the frame from sliding sideways in case you're as bad at using a spirit level as me (or live in an earthquake zone, also like me).

OpenSCAD code below, or grab the STL from Thingiverse.

difference() { union() { cube(size=[61,85,5], center = true); translate([29.5, 0 ,5]) { cube(size=[2, 85, 10], center = true); } translate([-29.5, 0 ,15]) { cube(size=[2, 85, 30], center = true); } } rotate([0,90,0]) { translate([-15,25,-35]) { cylinder(h=15, d=3); } } rotate([0,90,0]) { translate([-15,-25,-35]) { cylinder(h=15, d=3); } } }
