I have recently joined a hackerspace, and since i have been wanting to get more into writing, as well as recently purchased an ereader which i have been loving, i decided i wanted to manufacture a pair of clips to attach my e reader to my keyboard for writing usage!

I spent a fair few hours learning freecad, measuring both devices, and creating a cad document of a structure to hold the tablet.

The images of the sketch are of the later iteration 2, i do not have screenshots of iterations 1's sketch

I designed it with the intent to allow the design to bend slightly in order to allow a snapping motion to attach each device. with both snapping points having a slight arc doubling as better cradling the devices curves. I did later discover that i mistook a pair of lines as parallel in the design, but this didn't turn out to be a problem.

After spending some hours at home, i headed out to the hackerspace (for the first time!) and from there i started 3d printing! A massive thanks to hank who spent his time teaching me how to use the printers, and helped to solve problems!
Our first print did fail due to some lifting from the build plate, but the second print went well!
iteration one and the failed print

Testing iteration one, i found that the snapping was a bit too hard, and the tolerances a bit too tight on the e reader. To solve this i increased the height of the e reader in the sketch by 1mm, and increased the tolerances from 0.1mm to 0.25mm. I also added a small fillet to the edge faces to prevent elephant
