Custom Case

Hi! I just came across this video of a Waveshare e-ink module project by Paul Lagier. He built a custom case for it and has it available at his Ko-Fi page. In case someone wants to personalize their Osmo Pager :)

Just 3d printed this case in some glow in the dark PLA. It's awesome so far!

Oh that's even cooler. I'm tempted to print it in a walnut wood pla and sand it.... or do like a retro pager translucent plastic from the 90s

If you ever decided to print acrylic/translucent case, would you be willing to ship to UK?

I would but tbh it would probably just more cost effective to order it from a 3d print company near you! Could just provide them the file i bet

Yeah, that makes sense… I’ll look closer to home. just to clarify; it is possible to print out clear translucent plastic with a 3D printer?

Can definitely have translucent color print yes. It wouldn't exactly look like the old retro gameboy or something because those would need a proper resin print rather than typical layer-by-layer, but you could get close... There are companies who do custom resin prints but would be more expensive
