The build includes clever details: a left stud repurposed as a volume knob via a hidden IKEA Symfonisk remote, a right stud covering a wireless charger, and a 7-inch screen for a Home Assistant dashboard or equalizer display. LEGO-compatible studs on top allow the original tiny brick to sit on its scaled-up version. STL files and a build guide are publicly available on MakerWorld. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
