Retro TV Remote Holder

*PLEASE READ BEFORE PRINTING & ASSEMBLING

Retro TV Remote Control Holder

This remote control holder is designed to bring a fun, retro aesthetic to your living space while providing practical storage for everyday use. Styled to resemble a classic television with antenna details, it adds a unique visual element to any setup.

The holder accommodates up to four remotes, with each compartment measuring 60W × 35D × 100H mm.

Design Features

• Retro TV-inspired design with antenna detail
• Holds up to 4 remote controls
• Curved screen surface to replicate classic CRT televisions
• Modular design with friction-fit components
• Customisable control panel with multi-colour options

Printing Requirements

• Material: PLA+ but the material used is your choice
• Supports required:
  • Minimal tree supports for the top of screen inset
  • Small supports for dowel holes (TV body and antenna base)
• Brims or Mouse Ears used to help with bed adhesion

All parts are designed with a 0.2 mm tolerance for friction fit. With a well-calibrated printer, filament, components should assemble without adhesive or require a hammer 😉

Assembly Instructions 

*Build in this order

• Insert dowels into the main body first
• Attach the TV base
• Fit Screen
• Fit Control Panel
• Attach antenna base
• Insert antennas into the antenna base

Fitment Notes

• If any of the dowels are too tight: 
  • reprint & scale dowels to ~99% for easier fitment
  • DON'T USE A HAMMER
• Antennas are intentionally a slightly looser fit to allow easy installation & replacement if damaged
  • A small amount of adhesive (e.g. hot glue) can be used if a tighter fit is preferred

Customisation

The control panel is sliced in “parts” so it can be easily customised using your slicer:

• Apply multi-colour painting to suit your preferred theme
• A Hilbert Curve top layer pattern is used in the provided profile to create a textured, retro-style finish to the top surface of the Control Panel face without affecting the control knobs & volume slider's surface pattern.

Included Files

• Multi-colour .3mf file configured for PLA and the recommended print settings I used
• .stl files for all individual parts

Summary

This model was designed to combine functionality with a nostalgic design, making it both a practical organiser and a standout decorative piece.
