We all bought a 3D printer to print phone cases, right? Ok, maybe not, but if you have kids it's on a todo list :D. So, this is a phone case for a Xiaomi 9T.
I used a slice from the frame of s7plagues' creation, just to get the rounding of the frame, and re-did the frame and holes in blender. Why did they use a pop-up camera as the selfie cam? That part was a nightmare. It's not 100% perfect, but kids don't take selfies :) (maybe the bridge can be lowered, but then it needs support)
With the cool web stencil from BigZ1981 all fell into place. I used a venom sketch to create an svg outline. I cut out part of the stencil to fit the frame, back camera and venom sketch.
Putting it all together in blender I think it turned out all right.
When printing, be prepared for failure :D
Printed with Ninjatek cheetah 95A tpu at 235 ℃, none heated bed and 18 mm/s speed. I did use the TabAntiWarping plugin in Cura to fixate the corners.
Things I might try next time:
- Don't print on pei plate. As you can see in the photo, the pei texture is visible in the print.
- Use support for the selfie cam. I forgot you can block supports in Cura and it's only needed for this stu@#$ selfie cam.
- Dry the filament for a longer time to reduce stringing, although, for a web theme it adds to the realism :)
- Use a 3D pen to fill the eye (white) and tongue (red). Tried it on one of the failed prints and it looks awsome.
