From searching around a bit on DuckDuckGo, I found this Reddit post, which in turn referenced several 3D-printed replacements:

https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadg...on-replacement
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6831066

I may wish to try one or more of them if I can find someone with a 3D printer. The first link expressly says "Clara" but also has "Clara HD" in the tags. Are the two models the same board dimensions such that one would fit in the other?

EDIT: I do have a SleepCover, so I suppose in the worst-case scenario I could follow the advice of "never turn it off, let the sleepcover put it to sleep", but I believe the reason I stopped actually using the sleep mode years ago was that I was getting much worse battery life.

Do you power down the Clara with the power button or just sleep?
There should be no difference between sleeping with the cover or the power button.
Powering down would be a big inconvenience for me.
