I really liked the E-Ink ESP32 Weather Station Frame designed by Kingfisher — thank you! It was exactly what I was looking for to host the ESP Weather EPD project. 

While the overall design is excellent, I didn't like a few things about it:

  1.  The USB-C port on the back panel only supports charging the battery and doesn't allow for data transfer. To fix this, I used a factory-made USB-C panel mount cable instead. This required redesigning the port location and mounting holes on the back panel to fit the new connector. The USB-C panel mount cable I used is readily available on Amazon link. 
  2. Resized the front bevel mount around the E-Ink display to prevent the text from getting cut off. Waveshare lists the display size as 163.2mm x 97.92mm, but minimally needs an extra 1mm around it. I provided a 2mm oversized cutout, which provides the best spacing around the display text. 
  3. Scaled down the hole in the frame base pin and ball end as it was much too large to fit tightly on a 6mm rod. You should be able to press fit everything without the need for glue.
  4. Increased the thickness of the frame clip to better fit the groove in the picture frame. 

Although it's not specified in the original design, the battery used is a 3.7V 2500/3000mAh 505573 LiPo battery (dimensions: 5mm x 55mm x 73mm). While it’s easy to adjust the battery mount dimensions if needed, the critical factor is finding a battery that’s 5mm thick to fit inside the frame properly. 

For my build, I chose to use (M2, M2.5, M3) heat-set inserts in the master frame rather than self-tapping screws. I also used some custom-sized washer shims to improve the fit. I uploaded the spacer washers I used for battery, but the other sizes can easily be manipulated using the slicer's scaling function.

Hope this helps someone else who's thinking about building an ESP32-powered weather station!
