Your Kindle stands in a tiny typewriter like a sheet of paper. ⌨ The roller hides the bottom bezel, so you see only the page, and the keys carry debossed QWERTY letters.

📖 Fits

  • Kindle Paperwhite 3 (2015), 4 (2018), 5 (2021) and 6 (2024): ready-made STLs for each.

  • Any other e-reader, or a Kindle in a case: open kindle-typewriter.scad in OpenSCAD and set device = "custom" with its width and thickness, case_extra for a cover, and tilt (5–18°, 10° by default). Prefer a web customizer? The same model is customizable on MakerWorld.

📁 Files

  • kindle-typewriter-pwN-body.stl and kindle-typewriter-pwN-roller.stl: the two parts for Kindle Paperwhite N, already in print orientation.

  • kindle-typewriter-pw6-bambu.3mf: Bambu Studio project for the PW6, both plates and settings ready. Projects for the other Paperwhites are on MakerWorld.

  • kindle-typewriter.scad: the parametric source (OpenSCAD 2021.01 or newer; export with part = "body" or "roller").

🖨 Printing

  • PLA, 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layers, 15% infill, no supports.

  • Body flat on the bed, roller on its flat side. One colour per part, no MMU needed.

  • Arachne perimeters and a rear seam give the cleanest result.

  • Prusa MK4S, 0.20mm SPEED: body ~2 h 40 min / 101 g, roller ~22 min / 10 g. Bambu Lab P2S: 2 h 15 min and 24 min.

🔧 Assembly

The roller slides onto a dovetail like a carriage return: put it on from the left and push it right with the lever until it clicks. No glue, and it can't lift off.

📐 Fit

  • 0.5 mm gap on each side of the device and 0.4 mm front and back.

  • Roller too tight? Raise dt_gap by 0.05 mm in the .scad. Too loose? Lower it.

  • Printed slots come out a bit narrower than modelled: if the Kindle doesn't drop in, raise side_clearance. Export part = "fit_test" to print a thin strip around the slot and check the fit first.

Without the Kindle it still reads as a typewriter: a curled sheet of paper stands in the slot.

Printed one? Post a make, I'd like to see your colours.
