The pedestal angles the Google Home/Nest Mini (gen1 and gen2). In certain cases this improves on the sound of the speaker while also improving the microphone reception. The connector is routed inside the base and connects with the Mini inside the base. Because the Google Home Mini’s controls are reversed, remember to enable “Reverse Device Controls” option in the Google Home App > (select your mini) > (select the gear on the upper right corner) > device settings. This item is created with PLA, an Earth friendly, biodegradable plastic derived from plant materials. This is a 3D printed product, so there may be minor defects (rough edges, bumps and gaps, layer lines, etc). I do my best to finish my items to keep these defects to an absolute minimum.
