Description
A face of my old Kobo Glo e-book reader got broken (plastic degraded over time and is very brittle now).
So I modelled it.
You will need original parts from your existing face cover: power switch (two parts + spring), light button, LED diffuser and 3 melting nuts.
In addition, you will need two sided sticky tape (I used 0.3mm x 5mm and 0.3mm x 10mm).
You will need to melt in the nuts and possibly slightly adjust hole for light button with modelling knife.
I printed it in white PLA, however do not really like results as the face is quite thin and you can see black tape through it. So I will probably print it in grey or black.
Not sure if anyone need this as the reader is very old.
P.S. I did not modelled back part yet. May be in future.
