3D Printing a Pinephone Back Cover

[NormandC]

I don't think I ever quite got the file how I was hoping to. If you're willing to give it a go, that'd be awesome!

Alright, played with it a little in FreeCAD tonight.  (Didn't even need to boot up the Windows work PC to use the pro CAD program I use for work - yay for open source )

This is a first try. Due to the process I used to flatten the faces, arcs and B-spline curves were interpolated to short straight segments. I figured that if you're using a CNC cutter, it wouldn't matter? I believe going from dxf to g-code automatically converts arcs and curves to straight segments. If you prefer true arcs and curves, let me know, and I can look into converting them.

For the grille area, I'm guessing you would just cut away the whole area in a rectangle shape?

I didn't take the time to add slits in the corners. Oh, and there's only a thin strip of material above the camera bulge... Might be best to cut it out?

HTH,

Norm
