Kindle Case - new version

thingiverse

This case is designed for a new keyboard-less Kindle, using a plywood hinge technique available on Thingiverse. Laser cutting was employed to create this design; an etching was added to its front side as well. The case is made from 3mm plywood, and instructions specify the use of .dxf files for laser cutting. If you're at Nottingham Hackspace, use 320 power and a speed of 7 while laser cutting. For others, ignore this specific setting. After laser cutting, sand the case well and apply beeswax. Remove excess wax and buff to achieve a polished look. Etch any desired design on the front surface. Two holes are drilled for inserting elastic bands, which should be threaded through and sewn together. Alternatively, you can use magnets to keep the case closed. However, note that nothing within the design holds the Kindle in place; small sticky pads might serve as a solution.
