Stand for ESP32 e-Paper Weather Station

This is the stand to hold the screen and electronics for the ESP32 E-Paper Weather Display designed by Luke Marzen. Details of the electronics and software components can be found on his GitHub page

The parts were designed to be easy to print with no supports and fit on a small printer bed since. I also opted for simplicity where possible to reduce cost and build complexity. Therefore, I didn't use threaded inserts, I left off the reset button, and provided direct access to the USB C charging port instead of using an extender. Lastly, I wanted a minimal external design so the focus was on the thin e-paper display not the stand.

The volume inside the stand is large enough to easily fit all the components. It is likely a larger battery than the 5000mAh I used or larger display driver boards would fit fine. The OpenScad files are included if you'd like to try enlarging or shrinking the case. I suspect you could probably take out 25-50% of the volume if you wired directly to the boards instead of using connectors.

Assembly

The ESP32 is secured with three #2-56x5/32 bolts. The rest of the components just lay in the box. Be sure to fold any cables for the display adapter board to reduce stress on the panel connector cables. If you will are worried about movement, you can secure the BME280 with a drop of silicone or piece of tape. Same with the display adapter board. I haven't found I needed either with my use case so far.

Depending on the quality of the print you may find you need to file out the slot a little. The slot is sized to be a relatively tight tolerance so it pinches the bottom of the display a little bit.

The bottom is attached using four #4-40x5/16 or similar bolts. If your print is good and the screws are the right size, the screws should slide relatively easily through the outside holds and bite on the holes on the bottom panel.
