3D printed smarphone case

[bshadown]

Ok heres the deal, i keep seen smarphones case for the most common ones all over the net, but some of them aré ugly as hell, so i want to print my own. Whats the Best material for this type of case? I have seen the semi rÃ*gid ones and the flexy ones, i guess the lást ones aré made of Filaflex or ninjaflex like materials, you know the ones that looks like silicone, but i want the ones that aré moré rÃ*gid and durable, any toughts?

I want to print something like this, and i wish i had a 2 extruder machine

I printed and used this one. I would suggest you look for a different one. First, the case isn't scaled quite right. It will take you a number of tries to get it so it accepts your phone. But then the case is very thin and will de-laminate very soon. Also, the pins that hold the gears have to be reworked so the gears spin nicely. These have less moving parts but are done much better.

Ok, i just Check the case yóu told me, but my question is the same, whats the Best material for a case? Pla? ABS? Nylon??

Why not consider about the material- Resins?

He is making Phone covers.... to print them in resin would be both extremely brittle to the drop and also expensive.

As far as a material choice, don't use PLA , it will crack too easily, use ABS or flex.
