The other ones:
And today evening I will print a case for my recently upgraded trusty old iPod:
Update:
After a few changes the second prototype came out great, files also available for free now on my printables:
This is how it starts. Next thing you’ll know you’ll be optimizing phone shapes, learning physics about drop protections, and soon starting your own case company.
You might be right, I looked up a lot how Spigen gets their cases durable recently in order to create a really rugged version :D
BTW… In the process of designing these there were made a few prototypes. They all are not perfect, but if someone (from Germany) wants one, here is my stock :D If you have questions on a specific one just ask. I would give them away for shipping+packaging cost.
iPhone 13 (regular):
- blue Mama Version
- big MagSafe Cutout Bumper
iPhone 13 Mini:
- slim hex back yellow
- thicker round hex cutout transparent
- rugged small hex back yellow with grip pattern
iPod Classic 5G:
- neon green case with hex back
How well does the Lego one work with actual Lego bricks?
This is amazing! Well, great excuse to buy more TPU :)
Word of warning, 3d printed cases are a bad idea. The plastics don’t actually absorb the impact like a real case would, and so they break often and don’t actually absorb the impact and protect your phone. Every time I’ve used one I’ve ended up with damage.
Did you use TPU for the prints? If you used PLA, that really was a bad idea. With TPU my drop tests (not on purpose) were successful and the phone without damage everytime (so far)
