You can download the files on:

Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6615905

FreeCAD Design Files: https://github.com/the16bitgamer/16BitVirtualStudiosDesigns/tree/main/GLoA%20E-Reader%20Cases/6%20inch

The files are for all the 3D Printable components which makes up the e-reader case. What's not included in the files is the cutting profiles for the case that holds it. But you can just use duck tape or some flexible adhesive and it'll work. Along with the screws, nuts and magnets required.

Goddammit why did you have to show me that kobo now sells a color e-reader? I just bought the Clara 2E last year. Is that one rebranded now to the Clara BW or is that a new model?

Anyway, how is the color display? I looked into color ereaders a year or so ago and the general consensus was that the tech wasn't really ready

I bought the Kobo Libra Color and I love it so far. Previously I've had various Kindles and a Meeebook P78, and I like the Kobo a lot better so far. And I'm still just using it for B&W books at the moment.

The color is pretty faded, as you'd expect from e-ink. But I do enjoy that the book covers are in color.

I was actually hoping this was going to be a cover for my model, but oh well. :)
