Allow me to suggest you to make the flip the other way round. Feels odd for westerners with a 'Japanese' book at first, but it works really well with the flap under the display, rather than dangling in front of the keyboard. See e.g. this. If you find a way to integrate the magnet in the shell, it would become even better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ah Indeed, One could make a new hole. The case I'm using is only glued to half the shell, so by the rotation I get protection of the camera, at the price of needing to push the flap away, to get it free of the camera. But I much prefer that the camera is protected (as is the button side) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've also added a small lip around the edges to match up with the bevel on the two halves. This does not interfere with the phone when closed as they sit just below the surface. Both halves now fit firmly against the phone with no movement when opening or closing. I would imagine they would survive a drop as well. (Not tested). https://www.printables.com/model/267403-fxtec-pro1x-case Thanks so much for those models, my Pro1-X is finally ready to rock! Printed in 150 microns by a local 3D printing service in Montréal named Web3DPrinting, great folks! 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 22 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I have no experience in 3d printing, but think one of these for the Pro1X with the SFOS logo would be great. I have had a look at on demand 3d printers in Australia, but haven't seen anyone printing with PETG as recommended. Does anyone know where I could get one printed? Thanks so much, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks so much, I have already included a model with the fxtec and sfos logos. I'm from Aus, I'll send you a pm. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For me the availability of the headphone jack is quite important, even if it comes at the expense of the grip.' /edit: ah, I didn't realize that the new design isn't a a TPU-first design. This might change a lot. I really love the TPU case Edited November 12, 2022 by marmistrz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
belletrist 54 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I was initially designing with TPU in mind but it's easier to prototype in PETG. My main concern about TPU and my design is the lip around both halves isn't that big. I'll have to test it again. I will reintroduce the headphone jack as it possibly would be ok in PETG. I'll upload a new model shortly. Personaaly I don't mind the PETG feel, it reminds me of my Otterbox case I had for my N900. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
belletrist 54 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I've just uploaded a new case with a cutout for the headphone jack. I would suggest printing in PETG to provide the extra stability. https://www.printables.com/model/267403-fxtec-pro1x-case 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Once the 'X' eventually gets the updates to make it useable, I'll B ordering from an online printing service - thank you! 🙏 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
belletrist 54 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I've updated the model to include a thicker version that works well with TPU. I've been using it for the last couple of weeks without any trouble. Ignore the card holder. It doesn't work for payments, it's too thick. I was thinking of adding a hex grid but that would also expose the card. 😕 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
