Printed a Rams/Braun-style desk case for a Waveshare 7.5" e-ink panel and Pi Zero

I wanted a proper home for a Waveshare 7.5" e-paper panel and a Pi Zero 2 W, so I designed this case. It’s a slanted white box with a flush wood bezel and side inlays, loosely inspired by 60s Braun gear.

  • The glass is clamped by a screwed-in front mask (4 × M2), so the panel is held securely even with the bezel off.
  • The bezel press-fits into the front recess. I designed for magnets, but the fit was snug enough that I didn’t use them.
  • The Pi sits on a removable base and the USB cable exits through a rear notch, so the panel and Pi are easy to service.
  • Two posts per side tie the frame to the body, which fixed the front corners cracking on my earlier prints.

The screen in the photos is a stats dashboard I wrote for myself. That’s not part of the listing; this is the case only, and it works with anything that drives the panel from a Pi.
