I don’t know design but what about an e ink pan to add notes, reminder or even an cool animation on the back for notifications . Also should be modular.

Can we get the blueprint /specs of that black foam/pad on the inside of the official shells , feel we may need that for long term 3rd party use

This is 10 min in photoshop, but a back clear cover incorporating a Questyle M15 dac. Could be created flat, or buldge where the dac is.

Or a complete product of a back cover with just a dac board and aux out on the bottom. Might only double the thickness. A complete high-quality multi-media device for sub $300?

    What’s the thread pitch on the small screws ? Or is it fine for coarse. May have over looked on the blueprint .

    This is a time-lapse of my very first test print on a Bambulab X1

    Big shout-out to @Derren , @3DPrintedCat and @Dylan_B for exploring these possibilities together with them 💗

    Looking forward to see what other stuff will be designed by the Community 🔥 Have fun and let’s keep designing!

    ThomasBurchett This is quite a good idea, I have a DAC from creative that is small and can make it in a case, now that you brought this idea.

    But for now, I’m still looking for small and thin type C cables similar to this

    I will then have to work on a way to split the wires for an e-paper display.

        Wow! Thanks for sharing the STL! In other way .step files maybe can help to create more accurate stuff!

          Rob ⚡️ It would be awesome to have a 33W fast charging wireless charging module to mount on it. 😁

            How about a case with extra battery attachment. Can be charged by connecting a built-in cable to the port.

              Allelujah Look up 180 degree usb-c male to male. Does that accomplish what you are after?

              It works for the dac idea above.

                  If I were to print my own case, does the file include the buttons? Noticed how each official shell has buttons

                    Hey 👋

                    No it doesn’t include the buttons, same with the SIM tray, these are both metal parts. Might be a nice idea for someone to develop a case with integrated buttons to get around this. I probably would also advise against putting your own made parts in the SIM tray, might be best to stick with the official one.

                        Derren just from looking as the official cases it has the buttons installed (held in with a gasket)

                        So with 3d printing the case curious how users implement buttons

                        Won’t know till I get my hands on it. I could be over thinking
