FireTV Remote Case with Apple's AirTag
Description
Inspired by https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4085406 My children posses this remarkable ability to lose the FireTV remote. Over the years I've spent a minimum of 2 hours total looking for remotes. With the announcement of the Apple AirTag, my mind immediately went to work with one goal in mind: Never spend more than 5 seconds looking for the FireTV remote. After days of prototypes and researching similar solutions ([here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4085406) and [here](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4074212)) and 2 remote control scavenger hunts that took place during the design of this model, I finally came up with a design worth sharing. The model by [Jark22](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4085406) was a great starting point. However, one issue with this application is that you have to remove the battery cover. I didn't want to have to worry about keeping track of battery covers, so this design uses your FireTV remote as-is with the battery cover on. After printing, just slide your Apple AirTag it into the slot and then slide the remote in. #### Source Files One of the more frustrating aspects of this hobby is how difficult it is to manipulate 3D models that are posted online as STLs. When I first got started, it was extremely frustrating to find a 3D model on Thingiverse and make minor adjustments to it. This hobby has an amazing community behind it, but it would be even better if everyone shared the source models along with the STLs. I have added a STEP and OBJ files so you can make changes as needed.
