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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
