Inky Frame 7.3 e-ink Frame w Magnets

Inky Frame 7.3" (Pico 2 W Aboard)

I got this awesome little e-ink display so that I could play with e-ink without having to do a lot of the heavy lifting on the hardware side. I expected that someone would have already made a frame for the kit… I was wrong. 

So i set out to make the case for it. I think it turned out fairly well. It requires 4 M2 x 10 screws to secure it together and it's a little fiddly because the stock holes are so small, but it seems to work well enough. There's a world where I decide to make it snap fit together. It is definitely doable but I didn't want to run that number of prototypes.

It's designed to be assembled face down, but the indicators on the top didn't snap in place as i planned so I used some PVA glue to hold them while I put everything together. Speaking of the indicators they are optional. I was trying to light pipe the status lights to the top. it kinda works with my transparent green filament, but it is really dim. turns out if the frame is white you can just see though the filament. If the case is dark colored the leds are bright enough to illuminate the cavity behind them and you can easily see through the holes. 

The magnets are 6 x 2 mm magnets which I use for gridfinity stuff, but the weight of the battery is so much that they wont hold the frame up on the fridge. Speaking of battery I made this so that the on off switch needs to face in with the hook and loop patch. the other option would be to cut the switch shorter, but I figured if I want it off I'll just take the batteries out. 

Everything can be printed without support but the overhang on the front panel is fairly extreme. it would print better with support. I was trying to make sure that it wouldn't cast a shadow over the screen since it doesn't light up on its own. 

Also I've included the Inky Frame schematic from their website and the proxy 3d model I made of it for my development in case you wanna make your own.
