Nexus 5x phone case (Voronoi edition)

thingiverse

A generic case for the Nexus 5x, plus a variant thereof that has a Voronoi pattern on the backside. Preferably printed with a flexible filament. There is optional support included for the holes in the side because Slic3r isn't very good at generating support for this kind of hole. In my tests, printing the areas with support as test subsets yields better results than when they're printed as a whole. In my prints, the rounding of the back side doesn't come out very round, so I smooth it out with a low-temperature soldering iron. The shell is set to be fairly thick (2mm) in the file, but I have successfully printed as thin as 1mm. Keep a good eye on the holes in the side if you change thickness, they don't seem to always match up. The upper edge is slanted a bit to give a grip around the phone, but at a 45 degree angle to be able to print it nicely without support. I would have preferred a horizontal overhang, but that would have required support that would have made the inside messier if the other support is anything to go by. I deliberately didn't include holes for the SIM card and SIM card pin hole, since those are used much more rarely than the other holes.
