Design for iPhone 5 Contest Update : Download Files for 3D Printing (UPDATED)

Comments 8

UPDATE: These files may not be 100% correct, I will double check ASAP...

UPDATE 2: THE CORRECT FILES ARE NOW AVAILABLE, PLEASE SEE DETAILS HERE.

We announced the contest to win $500 worth of Shapeways 3D Printing last week and have already seen a few designs for the iPhone 5 trickle in but we wanted to make it a little easier for you with a few 3D files to download that might help.

Download iPhone 5 Case for 3D Print with Shapeways

We have used the specifications provided by Apple to 3D model a dummy iPhone 5 suitable for 3D Printing in Nylon and one for Full Color 3D Printing, along with a basic case for the iPhone 5 and a basic bumper.

Please note we are waiting for the 3D Prints to come back and of course we have not yet tested them on an iPhone 5 yet..... 

You can download the STL files to modify in your 3D software of choice as long as it supports STL import, we have also uploaded the case to TinkerCad along with the bumper and the dummy iPhone 5 so you can start customizing the design even if you do not have any 3D CAD skills, yet...

That's great, this is exactly what's needed to make me want to take part in this sort of thing! Don't know if I have the time this time around though... hope I do!

Heads up, I checked the models & the "case" & "bumper" do not match or fit the iPhone dummy model.

So is this model correct? the round corner seems big compared to an iphone 4.

I do not yet have access to an iPhone 5 and the drawings lack this critical dimension.

As soon as I have access I will update the file.

Thanks
