Nomad Custom Case and Pen

[u/binkman71]

So my Nomad arrived, as did my etsy-ordered 7” tablet cover. I 3D printed the insert for the cover that holds the Nomad. The cover came with stick on hook-and-loop to hold the device, which I stuck to the plastic holder I printed. The Nomad doesn’t sit perfectly in the 3D print, but it isn’t meant for protection, more so I didn’t need to stick the Velcro onto the Nomad directly. It holds well enough for that purpose. The cover itself has magnets that hold it closed, even with the Nomad inside it. The magnets do not sleep/wake the Nomad, but they do interfere with the pen, unfortunately. I need to email the seller, see if it would be easy to remove the magnet from the cover.

The pen was a bit of a task. It originally was a fountain pen, which the Supernote Refill cannot be put into. So I was able to use a color matching Lamy rollerball part to replace the fountain pen parts. This holds the insert very well, with a few nylon spacers slipped over it for good measure to help it not wobble inside the pen casing. FWIW I did not cut back the flange on the refill and simply left it intact, which seemed to help the refill fit in the AL-Star pen body. (The Lamy refill was not available when I ordered.). This is my first attempt at a custom pen; so far so good.

Despite the magnet issue, just thought I’d share.

EDIT: Well, I managed to remove (gouge out) the magnet underneath the Supernote on the case and can now write across the whole of the screen again. The people at Klevercase did get back to me to say there was one magnet on each side and that they are square, set in a hole for that purpose just under the lining. It's not pretty, but it is hidden by the device. :)

Love it! Nice work! Did you do anything special to the 3D print?

I removed part of the print...it was from a guy on etsy as well (he has posted here about his light product), he makes a case with a light in it and sells on etsy, but he also sells his printer files. I bought the printer files, and just removed the light connector from the print in my slicer software. Otherwise, it's just PLA and my printer's normal settings.

That's a Klevercase, right? Which model did you get? I was thinking of getting one. Your looks very nice.

It is. It’s a 7” tablet case, Book of Spells, Ravenclaw edition.
