Hello, I’ll soon be the proud owner of a Fairphone 2 and I’m thinking about having a 3D printed case. Since I have access to a 3D printer, I’d like to print it myself so I was wondering if someone had some 3D models to share so I could play with and build my own. I was thinking anyway about shari…

[image] I want to integrate this PCB to the back of the phone …

Just a short experience from me: Told a colleague to print the 3D casing available at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1806407 for me. He printed it with PLA and I can now definitly say to NOT use PLA for the case, it was nearly impossible to attach it to the phone, even with it being in 2 parts.…

I allready have a spool TPU at home !! :slight_smile: In the github-page of keesj I have found an FreeCad-file of a case, which I imported into Fusion 360 :slight_smile: I`m adding the holes/mountings for the physical buttons … Any idea what method would be the best for the buttons ?

I’d assume the buttons are best made as individual components as well, guess that PLA/ABS is most suited here. For stability you could try to incorporate some sort of mounting mechanism around the button holes. Then again I don’t really have any experience in that regard, but taking a look at maybe…

Yeah I plan to do so !! Maybe in a few days I can show a prototype :slight_smile:

Yes, that’s why I was warning about printing it with stiff materials in the summary and in the print setting notes. I guess I have to emphasize this even more. And don’t use nylon as well… still too stiff. The case being too short shouldn’t be an issue of the model. I’ve printed it many many times l…

[image] I don`t know if this works properly… @ungutknut I thought so that you have spend a lot of time doing your designes and the testprints… But the result of your work looks really great !!

This looks great. You’re making it in one piece? Please upload a picture when you’re done printing it. I’m really curious how this will turn out.

No no there are two peaces :smiley: i will do so !! :slight_smile:
