A bit about this project: I am building an iPhone 13 case using tinker cad. I will use the phone's measurements to guide me, and I will make prototypes of the case with low filament usage. Alas, I will fit it on to my iPhone, and make it HACK CLUB themed! Here is what changed: -No prototypes until I get my TPU filament (Until my project is approved) -Made it more Github themed and will add hack club logo above -Made it more unique and added a stand -Product will use magnets So, this project took me about 5.1 hours! It may seem easy, but there is so much room for mistakes, and even more for improvement! Additionally, the phone case should be unique, and cool. It should function also as a stand in my case while also being aesthetic. I thought it was pretty fun, so I would say that if you are bored and want to do some 3d modeling, building a custom phone case can be VERY fun! Here are the steps I took: I took:
- Plan out an overall build product and think about how you'd want to design it (AND WHERE- Tinkercad, blender, solid works, etc.)
- Open up your CAD software and begin to build by making a phone model with accurate dimensions (measure out or research them.) Also build another layer around it (that's the case). For example, I enlarged the first phone model by a bit, and cut out the smaller one from the larger. Play around a bit as well. Then, if you haven't already done the camera whole, get the camera dimensions and attach it to the case. Cut that out, and create a small raise around that hole.
- Make sure there are no mistakes, and your design overall matches your phone or another phone case (reference). Begin planning out how you want to decor it!
- if you are gonna do 2d art, no worries (You're done until you print and test) for 3d models, design it and put the flat side on the phone case.
- FOR THE STAND: Make sure it will be stable! Lots of designs work here.
- YOUR DONE!! Now, print out your design(s), and get building!
