    Get $15 towards prototyping: Create accessories for new Apple products

    In life there are some things you can always count on. Spring turns to Summer and is followed by autumn, the Mets will disappoint the few fans they have in New York, Apple will make a new line of products that are just begging to be accessorized through 3D printing. This season, the ever daring hardware lineup is the iphone7, apple watch series 2 and the wireless airpods.


    Create an accessory compatible with any new apple product and share below by replying to this thread. Get 15$ to prototype and we’ll pick our favorite designs to be part of the 2017 gift guide.


    All Submission are due by Friday October 14th at 12 PM EST. Shapeways Money will be processed the following week.

    Can I ask what is the diameter of the airpod stalk? I've been trying to find it, but haven't so far. Thanks!

    So... I'm not what you would call a designer... But I do like to design. Tried to design an iPhone 7 Case, but I guess it's too difficult for me. So I made something more simple. Hope you find it interesting and maybe it can give more design ideas.

    Here is my contribution, a pair of clips for keeping those pesky Airpods in your ear.

    Purely at the prototype stage as the buds aren't available as yet ;-)

    OK, I had a go at it: https://shpws.me/MLcC

    A stand that has a place for your iPhone 7, Airpods and watch. Chargers and other accessories can go in the tray when not in use. It keeps everything in one place, ready to go. I was trying for functional, stylish, and elegant. I think I managed to pull off the first one, not so much the other two.

    I had to use the Shapeways render here. For some reason, when I try to set this file up to render (I use Blender), camera view and render just give me a blank grey image. I'll figure it out eventually, I suppose.

    I will assume you downloaded the render from Shapeways, as the same thing happened to me. Opened the image with Gimp, exported it with a new name as a PNG, no more problems.

    I'm not what you would call "experienced", but I gave this a try anyway.
