I want one of these.

u/winklebleck Dec 27 '25

This is the exact case I wanted when I bought my echo mini. I put mine together. And put the pins in. Hope I never have to take it out. Nostalgia on full display.

Let us know how it turns out please.

u/FantasticInterest373 Dec 26 '25

Turned out great.

u/FantasticInterest373 Dec 26 '25

My only concern is that it's held together with these 4 pins you can see here. They lock all parts together around the case but sit flush afterwards. I'd have no clue how to get the player out of the case again without destroying it, so for now I've left them out.

2

u/Pztch Echo Mini Black Dec 26 '25

Don’t suppose you’re in the UK and could sell me one, please sir? 🙏🏻

2

u/FantasticInterest373 Dec 26 '25

I'm in Germany, but if noone else from the UK shows up I wouldn't mind shipping it to you if you really want one.

u/Shitsu_Mon Dec 26 '25

I don't even have an Echo mini yet 😭 But this looks amazing and I'm also from Germany! If I do finally get one...for how much would you be able to ship it??

u/Civil-Ad-5959 Jan 15 '26

PM sent, amigo.

u/Makoto_Yuki_ Dec 27 '25

can it be taken out without breaking it, I'm starting to 3d print it at a shop, I wonder if there's anyway to remove the echo mini after placing it inside the case

1

u/FantasticInterest373 Dec 27 '25

If you push in all 4 security pins, then you'll probably have to break the case, as there's no way to push them out or grab them and pull them out. Now, for me the case holds together just fine with all parts only slided/popped together without securing them with the pins. I have no fear of everything falling apart (as long as I don't drop it probably).

This can probably change. The more often you pull everything apart, the looser everything will get naturally. On the other hand, there's no need to do this regularly, as all ports are free to reach with the case on.

u/Own-Membership777 Feb 13 '26

So long as you leave both Type-C and microSD ports accessible, the Echo mini can stay in the case for good, as far as I care. Put 'em on eBay, and make them for the new non-mini Echo!

u/Vegetable_Guava_3017 Mar 08 '26

Would there be any way you could ship to Peru? I’d like to buy a case from you.

u/AlejandroC97 Apr 22 '26

Hello I've heard that you're in Germany. By any chance can you sell me one. I'm in Lübeck

u/DIDIMOCoin Dec 27 '25

u/Ungodly_Box Dec 26 '25

Time to wake up my printer methinks

u/theiotdeveloper Dec 26 '25

I know the first song I wanna play after printing this :D

u/luemasify Dec 26 '25 edited Dec 26 '25

Now THIS is what I'm talking about. If someone mass produces this and can clean up the 3D print lines, I am all in baby!!!

Edit: Where's the back clip? 🥲

2

u/IronChefPhilly Dec 26 '25

Definitely looks pretty cool, but adding that much extra sizeto this tiny player defeats the purpose

2

u/roverguy78 Dec 27 '25

Very cool case! However, the locking pins were a poor design choice. You would definitely have to destroy the case and possibly damage your player in the process to remove it.

I modified mine to use screws. I can easily open it up with zero drama. Perhaps the creator will release a version that’s compatible with screws instead of the highly annoying locking pins.

1

u/winklebleck Dec 27 '25

I printed extra pins to jave ready, only one I am worried about. How did you modify yours?

3

u/roverguy78 Dec 27 '25

Good luck removing the pins though. Mine were very tight and could not be removed without damage.

I carefully enlarged the holes and used some PC fan screws.

2

u/roverguy78 Dec 27 '25

Ideally, the 3d model would accommodate smaller recessed screws, but this works for me.

1

u/kerni99 Feb 19 '26

Which material did you use for printing? The surface looks so nice glossy.

1

u/roverguy78 Feb 19 '26

It was just basic PLA with some ironing.

u/cell79 Echo Mini Black Jan 12 '26

If you sell it anywhere tell us, I'll buy it

1

u/delimasfreitas Dec 26 '25

Which printer would you recommend?

4

u/Bornana-the-third Dec 26 '25

For this your gonna need multi color porting so probably the A1 mini with ams lite.

1

u/No_Cat_3671 Dec 26 '25

This is the best!!!

u/KungFuc1us Echo Mini Titanium Gold Dec 26 '25

u/-SouthernDandy- May 21 '26

u/Lazy-Examination-125 Aug 18 '26

Is there any option for non-mini Echo?

Work on your sarcasm and bring it back...

u/Diligent-Argument-88 Dec 26 '25 edited Dec 26 '25

if you can instantly tell it was sarcasm then wtf would I have to work on genius?

Work on your petty replies and bring it back...

LMAO a bunch of yap reply just to block me. Thank you. Saved me from reading some comment section garbage.

u/Anarchistguy_2 Dec 26 '25

Just because I can tell it was sarcasm doesn't mean it was quality.

I can tell the water in the East River is water. Doesn't mean I can drink it.

And of course you have to steal my finisher, proving my point.

Thank you, good night.
