2016 Google Pixel Case

**May 8, 2019 EDIT**:I added the entire F360 project file for anyone interested and changed license to **Creative Commons - Public Domain Dedication**. The project includes the phone model as well as the case. Might be of use to someone. Please, link derivatives as a Remix. **October 29, 2018 EDIT**: I added a modified version of the case ("pixel_case_29_10_2018_scaled_correctly.stl"). It improves usb-c access and prevents the bottom speaker from being silenced by covering it with finger or palm while holding the phone. Please print with supports under 5° overhangs. It works great. This is a case for 2016 Google Pixel (non-XL). It fits the best of all the pixel cases here on thingiverse and is slightly raised above the screen to protect from falls. Back side can be customized by setting the slic3r settings to zero top & bottom layers and customizing infill density and pattern. Please print with 5 perimeters to avoid chaotic infill in walls of the case. I printed mine in PETG at 0.2mm layer height with 20% honeycomb infill and zero top/bottom layers. I would not attempt PLA - it is too hard and this case needs some flexibility to slip on the phone. **Please, if you print one, upload a picture. I would love to see how it looks on your phone.** Some light sanding with fine wet sandpaper is recommended for the upper edge of the case. This is to remove the discreet layer steps caused by the wedge shape of this phone. **If it does not fit, the problem is most likely on your side. My printer is properly calibrated. In such case, enlarge the X and Y dimensions by about half millimeter.** Please leave some feedback - I spent like 4 hours designing this. I first had to redraw the Pixel from scratch to model around. If there is interest, I can clean up the Pixel model and post it as well. Well, I did not clean it up, but here it is - [Google Pixel 1 Reference Model](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3615824)
