Thank you for the comment. I learned a lot from you and will look into these. Are there any resources I could use to learn more about these, especially sculpting smooth models?

Interesting you said that, but I used G2 almost everywhere, except in the inner holes of the phone part. If you share a picture, I can happily show the Sharp3D equivalent. Maybe the G2 curvature wasn't as aggressive as it should be?

Thank you!

I tried, but then the look completely changes.

Can you expand by what you mean by `top heavy`? The center of mass is actually not at the top.

Product designers are mostly on Instagram and YouTube unfortunately. It's rare for people to write like me. But /r/IndustrialDesign(er) and /r/Design are good places for written communication.

You should be fine, go for it :)

It's not a lot, because I printed it with an infill of 10%. You can increase it, and make it around 40% or 50%. Some people also use sands to make it heavy. For now it doesn't bother me and I think because I'm putting other t

OP Here. 1. In the blog post I actually worked on that for a few days. But I didn't like it as much I liked this one. 2. Unfortunately the default Apple MagSafe charger that I can use as a customer isn't easily bendable like that.

I did all my CAD work via https://www.shapr3d.com/ . It runs on multiple platforms, but I use it on my iPad Pro. There are many other options, such as OnShape, Fusion, FreeCad etc.. However most of them have their own quirks

I didn't say that, but that's ok :)

Yes! We don't have AppleCare Plus here, hence I have to use with a case. I designed it with a case in mind.

Thank you, I'll look into it.

Yeap, so I added the instructions on Gumroad's page (where you download the 3D file). I printed it where the bottom is touching the plate. And support is minimal supporting the tilted part of the model.

It's actually very easy because it just pops out. It's the same thing as pressing down, you're just pressing down from the side. (I had both)

Yes, there is minimal support because the phone part is tilted. If you print with tree support, you should be OK.

Yeap, I was more active, but I only posted about my work there. I rarely post other personal things. I would post a lot more in the past.

Thank you for your kind words.

Rescaling usually doesn't work well because the MagSafe portion is static between all sizes. Hence, every custom sizing needs a custom re-design.

There are none? All the photos are straight from my Bambulab X1C. I used eSun PLA+. No special treatment was done.

Actually probably not. Does it have the same size as the 14 Pro ? If it's the same you can use it with no issues. All the orange photos you see are from an 14 Pro, so it should work nicely.

It's impossible because I made it myself and released today. Read the blog post please :)

I 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.

Thank you. Check this tweet out: https://x.com/fatih/status/1836691756965933084 There are two holes on both sides (for both left- and right-handed people). All you do is push slightly, and it comes out. You'r

OP here. Of course, there are commissions and taxes. First, you can download it for free, but you can tip (donate) any money. Say you gave $10; around $1.5 goes to Gumroad. And then, of course, I'll have to pay income tax on the rest,

OP here, yeap. Here is a list of books I have and recommend: * Braun, Designed to Keep (Phaidon) * Dieter Rams (Phaidon) * Bauhaus (Taschen) * Dieter Rams, So wenig wie möglich (it's in German, but there is also an Englisch version, fr

TIL, I didn't know about it.

Thanks 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.
