This is a remix of the best Fire HD tablet mount for the new Fire HD 8.

Changes:

• Fully constrained and named sketches (can be resized without other parts getting weird).
• A few user parameters for resizing a few of the parts.
• Two mount options for cable routing (more details below).
• Looser tolerances for the pins. Should be able to just remove any brim and the pins will fit/work without binding.
  • The narrow portion of the pin should be facing out. Insert the pins from the inside.
• Looser tolerances for the tablet itself so that it slides into the mount without needing much force.

There are two options. One uses the original idea of passing the USB cable through the bottom of the mount to run down the wall. The second option has a trench to route the cable out the back.

If needed, the pin holes are 4mm or 5/32" on the inside and 3mm or 1/8" on the outside. Worst case (if your holes still come out a little narrow) a few turns with the right drill bit size by hand should be enough to get the clearance right for the pins.

I use these cables as they're cheap, work well, and have the 90° connector. For my in-wall cables, I'm using these power supplies in the bottom outlet to keep the cable as out-of-sight as possible. I drilled a hole behind the tablet big enough for the USB A side of the cable to fit into the wall. Using a magnet, I pull the connector back out next to the electrical box. A small notch on the bottom of the faceplate lets you put the cover back on with the cable routed out the bottom.
