Bezel - Surround for Pi 3.5″ touch screen
I've put together a compact Portsdown for GB3ET user,
need to finish off with Bezel / Surround for the Pi 3.5″ touch screen.
Can anyone help?

I used to 3-D print some, is it for the repeater or a user of the repeater?

I have some spare bezel sets that Gareth gave me in club blue. If he’s unable to help then I could send these over.
You may need e.g. styrene sheet 1.5mm thick to make a spacer to pack the screen in the bezel. Mine came from my days of making model buildings for 4mm:1 foot scale model railways.
Take care as practically everyone has to buy a second Waveshare screen after the first one goes faulty during construction. If you can borrow an already dead one from one of us as a pattern you could save 25 quid. I guess they don’t do well with repeat handling. Once housed they’re fine.

If you have any spares, or you are planning to make any more, could you let me know, please? I'm looking for one for my 'original' portsdown. I've tried printing a couple myself, but the printer I have access to doesn't seem to want to play nicely, and each of my attempts has failed miserably, HI.
Best Wishes

If anyone want's an alternative to print I have been messing about with Tinkercad. I will put the STL files on Thingiverse.

Re: Bezel - Surround for Pi 3.5″ touch screen
Thank you Mike, have looked on Thingiverse and downloaded files for safe keeping.
The version you have posted on Forum is just right.
If anyone can help with printing etc it would be much appreciated.
One would be great, a spare would be nice also...

Printing it is not the problem, it's getting one posted without going to a post office.

Perhaps when things improve, just starting our 4th week in safe keeping.
