I’ve been working on a new ereader case platform and wanted to find a way to print bigger than the max volume, and have it extremely durable is was the result.
Need to do some more work with the cover but overall I am very happy with how this turned out.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the clear material is TPU, and the Purple material is PETG. The holes are for Threaded inserts.

GLoA it’s a made up term I use for my e-reader cases. What it stands for is the Great Library of Alexandra and no that’s not a spelling mistake.
Th idea of a GLoA case is to be durable and repairable, since my wife’s e-reader case was constantly falling apart and destroying itself. An official case in her hand last 1-2 months, GLoA last 3-4 and hoping to go longer with this newest revision.
Made a whole video documenting the design process of the original case if you are interested in learning more.
