View without the ereader for those who are interested

Already designed a case for my 7.8 inch Nova 3 Color so the end result should look like this sans the pen holder

I designed these for my family who has a tendency to break and destroy their ereader cases. And this was to make it easy/simple to make a replacement arms (pink section) when they inevitability break.

So far mines held up 7 months without fault while my SO's lasted 4 since their case sees a lot of action.

EDIT: Made a small edit to fix the image positions

wait... these eReader-Cases are able to break??

[-] the16bitgamer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The pink parts yeah. I've seen their eReader get dropped bashed and thrown around like trash (in the bottom of a bag.

The injection molded cases usually fall apart in about 6 months around the corners, and deteriorate from there. My pink arms are breaking on the layer lines around the corners at the 4 month mark, but they are holding together well regardless. Even then replacement arms are like 4 hours of printing and a few grams of materials.
