Title. I printed a case for a friend, and I ended up wanting to have a similar case, but it didn't exist for my phone, so I ended up recreating something similar in OpenSCAD, then decided I'd probably be better off making it customizable so that it could fit, theoretically, any (current) candy-bar style phone.

TL;DR: The Good Stuff

Here are some screenshots!

It took me about 4-5 nights to get it mostly as decent as I could make it, I still don't consider myself an OpenSCAD expert by no means, but when I tried it on my phone, I was pretty satisfied!

Unfortunately, for my phone, I had to make a couple of test prints, and the print shown on video, was putting a tad too much pressure on the corners of the screen, so I ended up having to make a new print. (7 total tests during development)

Here's how the case looks with the screws onPhone in hand Volume buttons, ports


Either way, I am more than open to feedback, and you are free to contribute if you'd like!

Why didn’t you fillet the edges? Would make it a little easier to hold in your hands since you won’t have a edge digging into it.

    I'll admit, I had thought of it, but didn't know how to do it. Along with the sides cutout's outter radius already taking from the top edges (though that's a matter of getting the config right)

    There are OpenSCAD libraries and I remember one has support for fillet and chamfers.

    I had considered using libraries, but then I would have to expect the other person to also have set libraries. Alternatively, I could also just copy and paste the function, but I feel a little bit disingenuous about that.
