Kindle Voyage One Handed Reading Case

thingiverse

So two days after ordering a Kindle Voyage, Amazon announces the Kindle Oasis with its large side handle making one-handed reading easier. That has always been my primary complaint with e-readers that have touch screens - they are hard to hold in one hand and read because even a slight touch on the screen can turn pages or hit menus. The Voyage is no different and possibly worse due to the (albeit nice) side buttons on both sides of the device. I decided to do something about it, inspired by the new Oasis. I hopped on Tinkercad and created a "frame" with a large side handle, and it worked well but I had mis-measured the width and length of the device by a couple millimeters. Given the relative success of the print, I decided to redo it again in Fusion360. I created an actual version 1 in 360 and printed it, and that is what my Voyage is currently using. But it still had a couple of small issues - the power button was still a bit difficult to get to, and the frame blocked the power charging port. Thus, version 2 was born, and that is what I now upload here. The frame is intentionally ~ 1/2mm not wide enough so that it keeps a bit of tension on the device so it won't fall out if it's turned upside down. This allows you to also put the Oasis in upside down and use it right-handed as well, albeit without the charging port or power button holes being in the right places. As it is, it is set up to be held in the left hand. Print Settings Printer Brand: Robo 3D Printer: R1 ABS + PLA Model Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Notes: I used 100 micron with 100% infill, but the first one I printed was 30% infill and it was fine as well. You definitely need supports though. Custom Section
