Samsung Galaxy S8+ Phone Case for PLA Printing

thingiverse

I'm teaching myself Fusion 360 and cases are difficult to come by for the Galaxy S8+ so I decided to make this my first truly complex design and print. I've included a standard case with no cutouts as well as a case that I cut the Dungeons and Dragons logo out of. The attached photo is of my first print, in eSun Cool White PLA+, and the astute among you may notice that, once the phone is in the case, that the logo will be backwards. I've since corrected the model (the one available here) if you just want a nice D&D case of your own. I've also included the Fusion 360 file for anyone who wants to create their own designs. And here's the good news. You can print this case in PLA and the phone snaps right into place and is held firmly. <b>No need for flexible materials</b> and, since I haven't gone down the flexible materials path myself, I couldn't tell you how well (or not) that would work. EDIT: Okay I've since started printing with Ninjaflex. This case <b>will not work</b> as a flexible case. The edges of the phone need to be exposed in order to use the entire screen and I don't see how I could make a flexible case stay in place. EDIT: Added a Stormtrooper STL case that looks fantastic printed in white on a black phone! I've also added the SVG file that I used to create it from the blank, should you want to try working it out in Fusion yourself. Enjoy!
