Pictured is my Kobo Clara 2e with a laser cut leather cover hand stitched to the 3D Printed Parts and replaceable arms. So far I have the Kobo Clara 2e, Kobo Nia and the Kobo Clara HD designed. I’ve also made the parts available on
Thingiverse: www.thingiverse.com/thing:6340022
Printables: www.printables.com/model/662929
and the FreeCAD design files are on GitHub: github.com/the16bitgamer/…/6 inch
Nice! I’ve got a somewhat non-standard sized ePaper tablet that I’ve been trying to find a keyboard case for.
Might just modify/size this and build one instead. Thanks for sharing your work!
If it’s a 7.8” I have a standard base for it too. Just need to do a bit of clean up on it first though. Though I’ve yet to make one for bigger since my print bed is only 200mmx200mm
Yeah mine is 7.8" so if you happen to publish that base it should fit. Thanks!
Ok, now load up Diamond Age.

I opened this expecting to be disappointed, but this looks like a finished, real product.
I’m extremely impressed at the dedication and the quality of the work! AND you’re providing all your hard work in easy to access, and easy to update files.
You are good people.

Yeah, I am surprised that no-one ever bothered to do this before. I am hopeful that others find it and add their own e-readers to it, though I will be padding it out myself for what e-reader I have on hand.

I have for my Kobo Glo HD!
Although I haven’t shared anything since it works for me but is a bit rough.

I thought about doing it once but decided that PLA/PETG is probably not a good material for the case as I was expecting it to break too easily. Also I don’t have enough experience working with leather for something like this.
