Description

A clean and simple amplifier for your mobile phone. Certainly not a new idea but I needed something to help cleanup my desk and allow me to play music (or just hear the phone ringing from the opposite end of the house!). And of course I needed it to be my own unique design. Check out the video of this working at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=roSVK2uKq50

A modified version of this won the i.Materialise 3D Printed Wood Challenge (http://i.materialise.com/blog/entry/announcing-five-winners-of-our-3d-printed-wood-challenge)

Check the dimensions of your phone against the slot dimensions pictured - I designed this for smaller phones like my old Samsung Galaxy S2, so you may want to scale up the design prior to printing if you're using a giant phone. Read more about the design of this product on my blog, including the multi-coloured effect created by swapping filament colours during printing. https://edditiveblog.wordpress.com/category/phone... Enjoy!

What 3d printing modeler do you recommend for making prints?

can it fit all phones

does this fit iphone 6

Looking at the dimensions for an iPhone 6 online it might just fit - one of the images I've uploaded shows how big the slot is. But if you want to be safe just scale this model up by 1-2% when you slice it :)

how long does it take to print?

edditive about 8 years ago

Depends on your printer and settings - I've just opened it in Cura and its says 9.5 hours using 0.2mm layer height and 50mm/s speed.

Crazy nice! What did you modify for the wood challenge?

edditive almost 10 years ago

All of the dimensions had to change to meet the minimum requirements for 3D printing in wood - for example the thickness of the shell had to get larger, as did the embossed logo on the back. It's still on its way to me from Belgium, so looking forward to feeling what it's like!
