- fennecfoxy 2y agoThere are lots of 3d printing services, pcbway oshpark etc all do it I believe. You can order it in fdm or sls relatively cheap, just do a search and chuck the model at one or a few of em.
- farslan 2y agoThanks a lot for your support. A friend and I looked into the economics, but the lowest company willing to print was around $63. If you know of any services that provide 3D printing, I am happy to look into it.
- HorizonXP 2y agoWhat about these guys? https://www.slant3d.com https://www.slant3d.com
- farslan 2y agoI believe they want a minimum order of $1000 and only allow me to print it in a single color. Honestly, providing a physical good is a whole other set of issues with which I have no experience at all.
- boustrophedon 2y agoI haven't downloaded your model but https://www.i-solids.com/ https://www.i-solids.com/ (US-based, FDM and MJF) and https://www.weerg.com/ https://www.weerg.com/ (Italy, mostly MJF ) will both do instant quotes and you might get reasonable prices from them at scale. PCBWay and JLCPCB in China will also do 3d printing at reasonable volume, if you want to get an idea of a baseline price.
- doublerebel 2y agoCompeting products such as the Nomad stand, Zen, Courant tray are $100-140. I happily paid for each. The design and high quality materials were worth it to me for the same reasons you wanted this design — it is functional art and doesn’t look out of place next to my other quality items I see and use daily. I could see paying $120 for this dock. I bet this is the kind of thing that would succeed on Kickstarter. Sure, I could print and assemble it myself but that would cost me more than $120 in parts and labor.
- azinman2 2y agoSimilar. Would be nice for a max version as well. What about cases on your phone? I assume you need to remove it first?
- kurthr 2y agoIt looked like his design incorporated space for a standard case. Actually, without a case I think there might be an interesting edge detail. That wouldn't affect functionality, and look cool too!
- danielktdoranie 2y agoPersonally, I don’t use a case on my iPhone 14. I pay Apple every month for Apple Care +. If I break it Apple fixes or replaces it for free
- rootusrootus 2y agoI use a case for grip, not for the protection it provides. I'd be dropping this slippery device pretty often otherwise. I haven't been able to go case-less since the days of the iPhone 4. > Apple fixes or replaces it for free Where? In the US they charge $29 and up for repair with AppleCare+. $29 for the screen, $29 more if you damage the glass on the back too. $99 if you damage the camera or anything else that requires replacing the phone altogether.
- rupi 2y agoCame here to say this. Will happily pay for it.
- zymhan 2y agoThat's kind of the opposite of the Hacker ethos
- dymk 2y agoGetting the job done is the hacker ethos. Sometimes that means buying a solution instead of spending a bunch of time (and money) building it.
- szundi 2y agoNot sure about this, I would call this manager ethos and outsourcing
- fragmede 2y agothat's a weird notion of hacker purity. did you write your own kernel and compiler and web browser, on your own CPU that you built from transistors you made in your parents garage? and then connected to an Internet of your own creation? or did you "outsource" some part of that process to others?
- samatman 2y agoNah. Building your own, idk, mechanical keyboard? Hackerish thing to do, sure. But buying someone else's cool design is not against "the ethos", that's a silly thing to say. Supporting artisans in their craft is Good, actually, I don't see anything about this design which make it different that way.
- akie 2y agoI don't have a 3D printer and I unfortunately don't have the time.
- szundi 2y agoAlways good to know
