Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Flex Case

thingiverse

This is a Samsung galaxy grand prime case for flexible filament. I found that PLA cases will crack if dropped from any sizable height. I even tried high temp PLA, which I annealed for even greater strength. I got tired of breaking cases, so I designed this one. FILES: There are two files that you want to print. The Grand Prime flex.stl and one of the back plates. The two back plates include a blank one (can customize stl with tinkercad), or the NSD hexagon plate that I use currently. You will want to tack the plate into the back of the TPU case with glue (I used super glue). I was thinking about making them interchangeable, but I decided to go with the KISS motto (keep it simple stupid). You can use this case without a back plate, but I think the ability to have two colors/materials is cool. If this has enough interest, then maybe I will make it interchangeable. PRINT ORIENTATION: Print the flex case with the back of it against the build plate. Use supports (obviously) for the buttons and bottom. I know a lot of people do not like supports, but this was the simplest case I could come up with that has a back plate. Print the plate however you like. MATERIAL: I use sainsmart TPU, but other flex materials will probably work great as well. If you do want to use PLA with a case, this one will not work, as the lip is too large and Pla does not flex well. For the Plate however, you can use any material (I use pla). happy printing!
