A holder built around your remotes
Remote controls vary greatly in width, thickness and length. A ready-made holder is therefore often too tight, too wide or much larger than necessary. Finding one model that fits several different remotes can be even harder.
With the Vuolti Remote Holder Generator, you define the dimensions yourself. Create a narrow holder for a single remote, a wider organizer with several compartments or a versatile holder for remotes, a smartphone, pens and other everyday items.
The model can be configured with a flat back for wall mounting or with an optional stand base for use on a desk, shelf or nightstand. Instead of adapting your devices to an existing organizer, you create the organizer around your devices.

Every value in detail
Every value in the generator and what it does. Open the one you are about to change.
Set the dimensions around your devices
You can configure the holder using either the desired outside dimensions or the required internal space. This is especially useful when a specific object needs to fit inside.
Measure the remote or other item at its widest and thickest point. Then allow some clearance so the device can be inserted and removed comfortably.
The height determines how deeply the object sits inside the holder. A shorter holder provides faster access, while a taller holder can provide more support.
Use different top and bottom depths
One of the distinctive features of the generator is the ability to set the top and bottom depth separately.
This allows the holder to become narrower or wider toward the bottom. A smaller bottom depth creates a sloped front, making the lower part more compact and potentially guiding the remote slightly backward.
This geometry is particularly useful for wall-mounted designs because the lower section can project less into the room. It can also give a freestanding model a distinctive shape.
One compartment or several
The holder can contain one large compartment or several separate sections.
Multiple compartments are useful when remotes, a phone and other objects should remain separated. Each item gets its own position and becomes easier to grab.
Compartments can be arranged side by side and can be configured with equal sizing where appropriate. Depending on the configuration, different widths can also accommodate different objects.
For example, you can combine a wider smartphone compartment with two narrower remote-control compartments.
Use it as a wall-mounted holder
The model has a flat, closed back that can be used for wall mounting.
The appropriate mounting method depends on the surface, weight and expected load. A suitable adhesive or mounting system may be sufficient for light applications, while heavier loads require a more secure solution.
Back thickness can be adjusted. A thicker back also moves the pocket forward, so it can be used deliberately as part of the geometry.
Add a freestanding base
If you do not want to mount the holder to a wall, you can enable an optional stand base.
Base thickness and overhang can be adjusted, and you can control how far the base extends toward the front.
This allows the same basic holder design to work either on a wall or as a freestanding organizer on a desk, shelf, sideboard or nightstand.
Control the front angle
Different top and bottom depths create a sloped front.
The generator displays the resulting front angle so you can adjust the geometry deliberately rather than judging it only by appearance.
A stronger angle can make the lower section more compact. Similar top and bottom depths create a straighter shape.
Adjust the top edge
The top edge can be configured to suit the selected geometry. This affects how the upper opening behaves visually and functionally when the front is sloped.
The effect becomes especially noticeable when the top and bottom depths differ significantly.
Wall, floor, back and divider thickness
Wall, floor, back and divider thickness can be adjusted independently.
Thicker walls can increase strength but also increase material use and external dimensions. With multiple compartments, divider thickness directly affects the usable width inside each section.
The back can also be made deliberately thicker when additional material is useful for the selected mounting or geometry.
How to measure a remote control correctly
Start by measuring the maximum width and thickness of the remote. Do not automatically use those exact values as the internal dimensions. 3D printers, materials and slicer settings can introduce small dimensional differences.
There should also be enough clearance to keep the remote from getting stuck. For strongly rounded or irregular devices, measure at the widest point.
If several different remotes share one compartment, size it around the largest device. If you use separate compartments, you can tailor the layout more closely to each item.
- Measure width at the widest point
- Measure thickness at the thickest point
- Leave some clearance for easy insertion
- Use a test print for tight fits
- Size a shared compartment around the largest device
- Consider wall thickness when comparing internal and external dimensions
Examples of custom Remote Holders
Multi-remote organizer
Use several compartments for a TV, soundbar, streaming box and other devices so every remote has its own place.
Remote and smartphone holder
Combine a wider phone compartment with one or more narrower sections for remote controls.
Wall holder beside a sofa or bed
Create a compact design with a flat back and combine it with a mounting method suitable for the surface, weight and expected load.
Desk or nightstand organizer
Enable the stand base and use the holder freestanding on a desk, shelf, sideboard or nightstand.
Pen and accessory holder
Adjusted dimensions also make the generator useful for pens, markers, styluses and other slim everyday items.
Multiple variants for personal use
For your own private projects, you can generate different sizes and compartment layouts.
How the Remote Holder Generator works
- Choose whether to work from outside or inside dimensions.
- Measure the remotes or other objects.
- Set holder width and height.
- Define top and bottom depth.
- Adjust the corner radius and top edge.
- Configure wall, floor and back thickness.
- Choose the number and layout of compartments.
- Enable the stand base if required.
- Check the model in the 3D preview.
- Review print size and estimated material use.
- Generate the STL and open it in your slicer.
No CAD required
A basic remote holder can be designed manually in CAD. Once you add several compartments, different depths, a sloped front, a stand base and accurately defined internal dimensions, however, the modeling work quickly becomes more involved.
Vuolti handles this repeatable geometry for you. You set the parameters that matter and the generator builds the model.
CAD is still useful for highly specialized engineering projects. For a made-to-fit functional holder, a parametric generator is designed to be much faster.
Why not just scale an existing remote holder STL?
Scaling a finished STL changes every dimension proportionally.
If you only need more width for a larger remote, normal scaling also changes height, depth, wall thickness and every other part of the design.
A parametric model lets you change only the values that actually need adjustment.
You can increase the internal width, add another compartment or modify the stand base without distorting the entire model.
3D printing tips
The ideal print settings depend on the holder size, wall thickness and intended use. Always check the final model in your slicer before printing.
- Verify internal dimensions for close fits
- Make a small test print when uncertain
- Choose wall thickness based on expected load
- Check actual compartment width in multi-section designs
- Review the stand base and sloped areas for support requirements
- Confirm the model fits your printer build volume
Will the holder fit your 3D printer?
You can enter the available width, depth and height of your printer build volume directly in the generator.
This makes it easier to check whether the configured holder remains within your printer's maximum dimensions.
It is especially useful for wider models containing several compartments.
Estimate material use before printing
The generator estimates model volume and approximate filament usage.
This gives you an early indication of how large and material-intensive the selected configuration will be. When testing several variants, it can help identify unnecessarily large designs before exporting them.
Why use Vuolti instead of downloading a ready-made STL?
There are many remote-control holders available as ready-made STL files. The problem is that remote controls are not standardized.
A model may fit one Samsung remote perfectly while being too narrow for another device. Finding a good fit becomes even harder when several remotes need to share one organizer.
Vuolti reverses the process. Instead of searching for a holder that happens to fit, you create the holder around your actual objects.
That makes the system particularly useful for functional 3D printed parts where a few millimeters can determine whether the result works well.

Frequently asked questions
Can I size the holder for a specific remote control?
Yes. Width, height, top depth and bottom depth can be adjusted to create the required internal space.
Can I work from inside dimensions instead of outside dimensions?
Yes. The generator can work from either internal or external dimensions depending on the selected configuration.
Can I store several remote controls in one holder?
Yes. You can create several compartments to keep different remotes organized separately.
Can the compartments have different sizes?
Depending on the configuration, compartments can be equal in size or divided differently for different objects.
Can I use it for phones or pens too?
Yes. The generator is not limited to remote controls. Adjustable dimensions also make it suitable for phones, pens, styluses and other slim objects.
Can the holder be wall-mounted?
Yes. The back is flat and closed and can be combined with a mounting system suitable for the surface, weight and expected load.
Can the holder stand on its own?
Yes. An optional stand base can be added and adjusted.
Why are there separate top and bottom depth settings?
They let you control the shape of the holder. Different depths create a sloped front and can make the lower section more compact.
