e-Paper Beer Tap Handle Version 2

5/15/25 Update - Updated handle and back cover to move screen even closer to help with NFC connection. Screen is now  1.5mm away from the front of the handle.

12/4/24 Update - Updated models to move screen 3mm closer to the front of the tap handle.

This is a re-design of my original tap handle using a 2.7" e-Paper module. The example in the pictures was printed on a carbon fiber look textured build plate.

Changes from the original version include no longer needing to pause the print to place nuts into the main handle, easier assembly, and a version with a chamfered edge or radius edge.

No supports are needed to print.

Once printed a 3/8-16 nut is placed in the back of the tap handle and the nut cover is snapped in to place. Glue can be used along with the snap fit you'd like.

The e-Paper module is located in the tap handle by 4 standing bosses. The back cover holds the e-Paper module in place and is attached to the main handle by an M3x8mm flathead bolt. This bolt will form the threads into the tap handle when screwed in. Be careful not to strip out the threads.
