3D Printing a Pinephone Back Cover
#2
I've had a couple of offers to print it in a Prusa i3, but I was waiting until it arrived so I could see if anything had changed since the release of the model, and whether all the finer details were necessary. Now it's arrived it looks to me that the catches could be redesigned for better strength when printed. Another option would be to have a solid back but flexible sides that wrap around the sides and have a slight lip on the front, giving the phone more protection from drops etc. That wouldn't need the catches at all. It's what Motorola did with some of the alternate backs for the original Moto G. It should make the buttons easier too. I'll be asking them about it when we meet later in the week.
