Great frame, used small m2 screws to fix the firebeetle in place. Also needed a little tape to keep the screen from moving in the frame. Really pleased with how its working through ESP home. I've written up some basic notes on wiring the firebeetle to the waveshare display at https://www.goulbourn.com/posts/2025/an_eink_status_display.html
Hallo Goul, thanks for your kindly comment and rating. That your display moved a little bit may be due to tolerances of the printing process (printer, filament...) and those of the displays itself. I followed your link and, for comparison, here are my settings:
static const uint8_t EPD_BUSY = 4; // D12 to EPD BUSY lila
static const uint8_t EPD_CS = 14; // D6 to EPD CS orange
static const uint8_t EPD_RST = 26; // D11 to EPD RST weiß alt 16
static const uint8_t EPD_DC = 25; // D10 to EPD DC grün alt 17
static const uint8_t EPD_SCK = 18; // to EPD CLK gelb
static const uint8_t EPD_MISO = 19; // MISO
static const uint8_t EPD_MOSI = 23; // to EPD DIN blau
Regards!

Absolutely right on the waveshares, I’ve a second one from the same supplier and it’s 1mm different all around! Thanks for sharing pinout, I only really published mine as I hadn’t found many online.
Thanks again for the model, I’m really pleased with it.
Thanks for putting this together! I'm trying to print it but I don't see the inside piece to mount the board and battery. Is it possible to have this uploaded as well? Thanks!

Hallo chan1wong1, sorry for the late answer. Obviously, I forgot to upload the inside part. I will add the stl immediately...
@uli_2035_28350 Thank you and great work with the design!
Thanks AWSW, you have done a good job! (edited)
Nice modifications =) Enjoy
