Hello! This is really great, I was wondering if you had ever taken scans of the bumpers and buttons, or if you had ever dived further into a more FDM friendly version?

I've printed a few versions now and gotten an ok product in terms of exterior quality but I can't quite get the two shells to fit together properly because the supports create such an imperfect surface on the underside. There are also quite a few artifacts left over that make an FDM version much less friendly, most notably for me was the power switch slot is about 2/3 filled and needs to be dug out. Otherwise this has been a super cool project! The screen fit perfectly and my board and most things swapped over similarly to an OEM shell!!

Hello! Actually I have wanted to do this for a while now, I just haven't had the time to update it due to current orders I have. These changes will most likely be made by early next year.

I will add the buttons and bumpers early next year as well, though I need to tinker a little to make the bumpers fdm friendly.

I will remove the artifacts using a new software I'm learning, the one I was using previously is no longer available and I changed my computer.

In regards to FDM printng, I will play a little more with that as soon as I finish with my current projects.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'll try to work on these changes when I have a breather at my job.

Hi, I’m asking for your help if you can.
I’m testing different print settings in order to get the case as clean and uniform as possible.
I’m printing with a Bambu Lab P1P, single color.

After some tests where I placed the case tilted at 60 degrees, I’m now trying to print it with the top face resting directly on the build plate. However, the Bambu Studio slicing software tells me that the face I’m placing on the plate isn’t completely flat, and it creates an unpleasant texture.

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
P.S. If you want, I can send you some slicing screenshots.

Hey there, you are right, that face is a little rounded, I'll try to get that fixed soon so it's FDM friendly.
It's just the top face right?

Ok, thank you!
I suggest to make writings and logo engraved (maybe 0,5mm?), because in yout file it is unreadable when FDM printed.
At this moment, I have cut a slice of 0,5mm of the top face to make it flat and printable on the plate surface, I'm printing it now...
For the bottom, I will try to print it as soon as possible to give you some feedback.

p.s. have you ever printed this model with fdm or just resin?
I appreciate a lot your work!

Hey! I'll try that, I didn't really pay much attention to the writings originally, but I will update that.

I haven't used it personally on FDM, I mostly print FDM for business.

I'm really grateful for the feedback!

Great job, but I bought it too fast.
There aren't buttons not sides parts

If you need those, I can add them. Just give me some time. Do you need all the buttons?

Yes, thank you. It could be great!

Was curious what resin and printer you use? Also do you have pictures of one that has been printed?

Hey there. I do have a picture of two green ones I printed during testing posted, you should be able to see them after the pictures of the files. For the ones I printed I used Elegoo and Sunlu Resin and now I use Elegoo ABS, Sunlu ABS, and Anycubic ABS. I print on an Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra mostly, thanks to the WiFi.

Is it possible you could alter this model to support FDM printing ? i would pay for an FDM version. Please ive been wanting one for a while now

Hello there. I do plan on uploading an FDM friendly version. I currently do not have an FDM printer to test it out though. As soon as I make sure it works on FDM, I will upload it.

If you were to, id gladly test it out for you and give updates. I wouldnt mind assisting

Sure thing, I haven't really tried the one that's already uploaded with FDM. I think it might work out, but I wouldn't be able to help with settings, that's the only reason I have it listed as "designed for SLA". Thanks for your purchase by the way. Let me know how it goes and we will see what changes can be made for easier printing for FDM.

Hey Undefinedghost.

I understand that it must look similar to Wesk's work and I admit that I got the idea from his upload. But this is my own 3D Scan, made with a RevoPoint Mini. It looks pretty similar since it's two scans of the same thing. I even used Wesk's 3D scan to check if my dimensions came out right. What was missing in Wesk's work and the reason for which I am selling this, is that my 3d scan has been reworked from the generated mesh so it can be used for actual 3d printing.

Wesk's 3d scans did not have any screw holes, had many meshes floating arround and other things that made it hard to print. I even tried to use his file for printing and was not able to assemble it. I tried drilling holes to his design and the resin snapped. This is where I decided to scan my old gameboy advance and prepare the file for resin printing. I spent about 2 weeks editing both meshes, making holes, removing defects, and reprinting to make sure that the two pieces could join together. So no, it is not a reupload.

Let me know if you have any doubts about this.
