mazo case for amazon kindle voyage

thingiverse

Nookify your kindle voyage reader with the mazo case/grip. I like my kindle voyage but it's so thin it's a little hard to hold with one hand sometimes, especially when i'm trying to hold it more upright. I always liked the design of the nook with glowlight and the way the back curved in and made it easier to hold, but I'm firmly entrenched in the kindle ecosystem. I designed this case to make it a little easier to hold and use the voyage with one hand in the portrait orientation.. Print Settings Printer: Mini Kossel Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .3 Infill: 15 Post-Printing Finishing and Assembly I sanded the whole thing lightly with 150 grit sandpaper to smooth it out and remove the burrs left by my printer. it gives the black PLA a worn grey appearance. I was going to paint it with some flexseal or something, but I actually like the feel as is. Feels a little like paper. uses 2 m3 15mm socket cap screws and nuts. The nuts go into the slots in the top piece and the screws thread up from the bottom. Depending on the quality of your printer, you may have some burrs or strings in the tunnel for the screws. I used a drill to clear them and make sure the screws would go all the way in before I started the assembly. For the case I printed (b1), the USB port opening was too small and I had to dremel the opening a little. I enlarged it on the model I'm uploading, but I've never printed this one (b2) so it might still be a bit small. If anyone prints this, let me know. I know the hole for the power button is not perfectly aligned, but it works and I don't want to waste the PLA and 4.5 hrs to print another one. before I used to put my pinky finger under the reader to support it insert the m3 nuts and push them in until they align with the holes. test the alignment with the 15mm m3 screws. after the case is on I can hold it without using my pinky. maybe a wider grip would be even better, but I'm going with this for now.
