Nexus 5x Phone Case

thingiverse

A fairly basic case for Google's Nexus 5x phone. There's a few different designs on here (including another one of mine), but they all tend to be very flat to the surface of the phone, and don't provide much screen protection. This model wraps more aggressively around the front of the phone, and to the curves of the phone. The upside is that it provides more protection -- both to the camera bump and to the screen and corners. The downside is that there's absolutely no way you can print it with PLA or ABS or any other rigid filament and get it on the phone. This really has to be printed with TPU or another flexible filament. I suspect if you use your slicer to stop printing after the layer at 10.10 mm, it might fit on a phone even with PLA or ABS, but I haven't tried it. If someone does, and it works, let me know and I'll update this. There are two models uploaded. The "Flat Bottom" version has thicker bottom edges. While the one that hugs the bottom curve prints fine in PLA, I can't get unsupported TPU to print at that angle, thus the flat version. Upside, though -- slightly more protection along that edge, I suppose. If you're some kind of printing magician or can print TPU with disolvable supports, that one looks better. But its really nearly impossible to print.
