Description

I designed this tap handle to hide the board of the 2.7" e-Paper module, but still make it easy to take it off for replacement/repair.

The main body of the tap handle is designed to have 4 M3 nuts placed into it while the print is paused, as well as a 3/8-16 nut placed into the print for it to thread onto the faucet. The M3 nuts hold the back plate on.

The e-Paper module is bolted onto the back plate with M3x8mm flathead bolts/screws. M3x8mm flathead bolts should also be long enough to attach the backplate to the tap handle.

No supports are needed with either print. Tap handle is printed with the “front” of it on the bed so that the print can be paused to insert the nuts.

My tag came in ... I'm using android and it seems very finicky to get it to update. Any tricks? I worry that it'll be fussy when I try and make changes, etc. This was going to be a gift I need it to be pretty easy else they will fail :(

Replying to @douglas.mauro :

I've been using an iPhone as my Android phone doesn't have NFC on it. I found it easiest to create my image, then use the Waveshare NFC app to upload it. It does take a while, and even when the app says 100% it still isn't finished. If I remove my phone early it seems as if the black and white areas are inverted, so I just keep holding the phone to it until the image looks correct. Their app definitely leaves a lot to be desired.
