I’ve always been a fan of finding creative solutions for everyday problems, especially when it comes to setting up my smart home devices. Recently, I faced a challenge while trying to mount my Wyze Outdoor Cam on my exterior wall, which is made of stucco. The camera came with some screws and anchors, but they just didn’t seem to hold up well on the stucco surface. After a bit of trial and error, I came up with a DIY solution that not only solved the problem but also gave me a neat, weather-protected mount for my camera.
The idea was to create a 3D printed corner shelf and brackets that could securely hold the camera. I designed the shelf to fit perfectly in the corner of my front porch, ensuring it’s protected from the elements. To match my home’s exterior, I painted the shelf and brackets to blend in seamlessly with the wall. The result? A sturdy, weather-resistant mount that keeps my camera safe and functional year-round.
This project was a great way to combine my love for 3D printing with my smart home setup. It also taught me that sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective. If you’re facing similar challenges with mounting devices on tricky surfaces, I highly recommend exploring DIY options like this—they might just be the solution you’re looking for!
For anyone interested in replicating this setup, I’d suggest starting with a basic 3D printing software to design your shelf and brackets. Make sure to test the fit and adjust the design as needed before finalizing the print. Painting the finished product to match your home’s exterior will give it a polished, professional look. Happy printing and happy smart home setup!
