Springy Clip Case for iPhone 5c ver2

thingiverse

Version 2: Due to body and processor heat, PLA would soften and allow the clip to fall out. New retaining wings prevent that. This is a case for an iPhone 5c, with a pocket (or money) clip. Due to the bendyness of PLA, the clip, as seen in the pictures, is effectively spring-loaded when installed. The case itself will work without the clip, and is based on the iPhone 5c case by Cleven at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:268940. Instructions Print at .2 height to eliminate curling, Infill is probably better the higher you go, to prevent the walls of the clip and the case from delaminating: Suggested: 2 shells 0.2mm height 15-50% infill. Standard PLA print for everything else. This was not tested in ABS, but it should work for that, too. When parts are in-hand: BEFORE INSERTING PHONE: Insert curly end of clip into slot to make pointy end flush on the inside. Push on the clip from the inside of the case, and insert the mushroom-looking pin into the triangle void at the top. Cram it in there until flush with the pin. As Cleven says, really cram your phone up in there, because it will take some force and will not want to come out.
