Replaceable back covers, accessories, standard screw types - CMF Phone 1 is an awesome creative platform for designers, makers, 3D printers and more.

Since we have such creative community, for the first time we’ve pulled together some detailed documentation outlining the physical dimensions of a CMF by Nothing product, everything you could need to get started.

Whether you’re an experienced maker or a humble hobbyist, there are plenty of exciting opportunities with CMF Phone 1 … we might even explore producing some of your ideas, so be sure to show us what you’re working on!

What will you create?

CMF Phone 1 features replaceable rear cases which are secured using the common M2 screw type.

In addition, the Accessory Point on the bottom right corner lets you attach things using either the included Accessory Point Cover or any other M2.5 screw:

An ergonomic camera grip? A card wallet? An embossed rear cover? A lens attachment? - you’re only limited by your imagination!

And if you’re someone who works in 3D, we also have an .stl and an .stp of the basic rear cover for you to tinker with. Early tests by some of our members suggest this can be 3D printed as it is … I’m sure we’ll see some optimised files for printing emerge very soon.

    I would so much love the idea of having a quick doodle half on the CMF Phone. You could sketch, write notes, and scribble or play tic tac toe. With a magnetic stylus or something like a pocket for better protection, it could be an easy to go productivity tool.

      This is awesome! Can’t wait to see the ideas flooding in. I think we are going to see some really practical ideas, but hopefully some obscure and fun ones.

      I would like to introduce my blend file that is fully customizable, perfect for those with understanding in blender. If things need tweaked, just shifting the cutters will adjust holes, gaps, and cutouts. when exporting as STL, make sure to select the case, export only selected, and apply modifiers!
      Happy Printing!

        man, this made me smile. Thanks, team for making the files available. No I need a phone and to get to work!!!

        And a new phone 😂

        Hi,

        The CMF phone 1 is an incredible accomplishment, especially in today’s smartphone environment.

        I wonder if a landscape qwerty slider “case” is a possibility in the near future. Reminiscent of the Nokia E7, Motorola droid even the FX tech pro..

        The recent clicks project for iPhone shows there is a demand for this form factor. This project seems to lend itself well to an innovative solution for those who want it.

          After a few brief discussions with Rob, I found myself discussing with @Derren, @3DPrintedCat and @Mr Steel about our ideas, printing methods and all things 3D Design/printing!

          From the original STL, a few prints revealed that my printer really wasn’t having much fun with the filament I was using, but after a few more prints I got things pretty dialed in!



          (Check out this Galaxy Green Prusa filament in the light!)

          I then decided to throw the print into my resin printer, which after some sage advice from @3DPrintedCat, I got some really nice prints off, though one was slightly unsupported and I may have accidentally dropped one!

          @3DPrintedCat came in with his blender wizardry and a simplified design produced far cleaner results in both resin and FDM prints!

          @Derren’s idea to have a PokeCard holder was then perfect for this and was a moment of genuis that I think we all saw and thought “How didn’t I think of that?!” Safe to say, it was straight onto my printer!

          Currently, I’m struggling with some peach filament that I’d love to see on the device one day

          I’ll be lurking in here and the discord, hopping into any conversation around 3D Printing and how best we can work to create something really unique on such a cool platform of a Phone!

            Someone’s gotta make one that can house a glass back. I’m not that skilled to do all that lmao,

            Good luck, can’t wait to see what is too come
