The good news is that I ordered a batch of PCTPE. This is a flexible rubber like material. I'll see if my design will work with this material and if not I'll have to make a design for it. That being said, I'll have a hard case and a soft case. No guarantees for being able to work on it this week. I have a lot on my plate work wise. Sounds interesting 👍 Did you notice the request in this thread? https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2933-buy-fxtec-pro1-compatible-case Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Goodman_ J, do you mind sharing the stl file of the protective case, so that it can be a foundation for us to work on, and we can print it on our own. Thank you. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you. Hey Ban, This is going to sound real douchey. I apologize but I don't make a habit of sharing my files. I have seen it too many times where people have used other peoples work for their own gain. Please understand that I have put a lot of hours into this project and have put serious thought and effort into its design and conception. That being said, I don't mind printing them out for people though. I understand that protective cases for a phone (especially one as rare as the Pro1 with a physical keyboard) are incredibly important for the people who have doled out a sizable amount of money for the purchase of said phone and that is precisely why I ventured to create such a case. I thank everyone for understanding and patience. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goodman_j 63 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Hi Everyone, Latest update. I took Eskerahn's suggestions and made the fillets larger for the button/charger/earphones. Eskerahn also asked about the speaker cutout and my wife wanted a place to put charms for her phone. So I combined the two. See pics below. The print quality was not as good as it was before but that is because I made a mistake and printed at a lower density. Will be printing a brand new set next weekend for the wife and I will be inheriting her old case. I haven't worked with the PCTPE yet. As I mentioned before we don't utilize the fingerpring reader so our cases do not include it in the cutout but that can be addressed for those who require it. I did not get to read through the requests made in the thread in a link shared by Eskerahn. I will try to do so as I get the time. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jayfb 4 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 @goodman_j I would like to buy 2 or 3 of your cases. Please let me know how much you would like per case and how I can send you $. Thanks jason 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joakim 32 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 We have very high end 3D-printing facilities in our University, which students can use. Has anyone tested out some models which could be production ready? Not that I am experienced 3D-printer, but this might be a good starting point to learn when you have some already validated models to use 🙂 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thank everyone for understanding and patience. @goodman_j, would you mind selling the stl file for personal use so that I can print it myself? We have 3D printers at the university with free (but limited) filament, so I'd love to print it myself. I don't know where you're based, but international shipping will most likely cost an arm and a leg. Please also note that stl files are like binaries - it's very difficult to make derivative models out of an stl, because it just describes a bunch of triangles. Theoretically, you can do a 3D scan to get an STL. To do any derivative models you basically need the sources. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lmckenna 26 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I should be getting my Pro1 here in the near future. Has anymore progress been made on this/@goodman_j are you selling 3d printed cases? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maplesteel 97 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 @goodman_j hey there, With LOS stable nearly ready to go (yay!) I'm actually faced with the prospect of carrying my Clack in a flip case....not as idyllic as I thought it would be. Are you in a position to sell any phone cases?

3zet 100 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Any new layouts? 🙂 I want to modify one to fit RTL-SDR receiver, angled USB-C connector with some circuitry and SMA connector for the antenna. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GameboyRMH 16 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Hey goodman_j, I'm also ready to get a case, wouldn't mind paying for a beta-quality printout in black. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hmmcclish 0 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 @goodman_j - I too would absolutely pay for a beta 3d print, and hope to learn if you will be selling any soon? I'm extremely clumsy and have been too wary of breaking it to even carry my device outside :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She wanted a functional opening case that would protect her phone and won't fly off when it opens. After many attempts I was able to get it to work. I'm probably going to modify it some more and tweak my print settings to make it a lot nicer and possible do some post print finishing.

LIMA 35 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Hello, again. I also made a bumper case 🙂 It helps me to avoid touching screen edges by accident. I also noticed that I could hold Pro1 securely because FDM printed layer lines work to prevent slipping.
