Printing phone case

[cowy]

Hi guys i want to design some phone case for my phone (xiaomi) but i cant find any .stl file for my xiaomi phone. Im afraid after i printed the design out the size can’t matched with my phone. Do you have any suggestion what should i do? I know there are some 3d scanner but i think that quite expensive is there any other alternative?

well, first get a 3d printer :-)

you'll find most phones of a similiar screen size are very similiarl in shape also.
So with a little resizing you can most likely adapt existing cases to fit your phone.

I Did a quick search on thingiverse and found many (xiaomi) phone cases. Depending on your model number.

Well with Netfabb you can always do some measurements to see if it will fit.
Since you can buy about 1,000 phone cases for the price of a workable 3D scanner.
