Always On - DIY: 3D print your own iPhone case

[@ColdFuse96]

The year is 2023. I dont know why, but this video randomly floated back into my consciousness, and I'm glad it's still here. I remember watching this like 10 years ago when it came out, thinking I would never get to play with 3D printers, but I would just watch this and think about all the cool stuff I could make. Today I have my own 3D Printer. It's an older Artillery Sidewinder X1, but it's still an excellent printer for me. It has a build volume of 300x300x400mm. I've taken it apart and rebuilt it a couple dozen times. I've upgraded and repaired it many times over, and I'm pretty good at parametric 3D modeling. I make just cool things, useful things, big things, small things, things for decoration, things for other people, special containers to hold various things made out of different kind of materials. My dreams of 3D printing were definitely made a reality. The one thing I have never, ever printed, however, is a phone case 😂😂😂

[@dexituspierce5267]

IT FITS PERFECTLY as it falls out

[@tom11zz884]

Sharon is a beauty no question, but what sets her apart from the other "Techie" girls on CNET and other venues is that she really knows her stuff.

[@NWOization]

A 512MB SD card? What year is it again?

[@BumperMorgan]

So what exactly is a super geek? The person who showed you how to use this software/hardware?

[@cadj0ckey]

Awesome to see on CNet, congrats MakerBot, You can also use Shapeways online service to 3D print your iPhone case, or anything else you want...

[@christinaandwena8917]

Oh my goodness back before 3D printing was the coolest thing ever and Intel was still innovating and not causing paranoia over the ending of Moore’s law

[@Exophasing]

Looks pretty cool from a distance

[@Nothanks935]

Her phone just fell into that case. She shouldn't have made it bigger.

[@jamesmark8390]

She likes it big :P

Is it me or does the end product look cheap & breakable? Sharon, any feedback after a few hrs with it on?

[@milesranderiadarius]

True. But then, assembly is involved. What fun is that?

[@Chiefab22]

3D Printer is gonna change the world WoW

[@OmeRex89]

[@TurtlemanMC]

84 hours to print? Imagine how long it took to draw

[@DUBSTEPzMYzFRIEND]

u would still have to build it... or u would have a printer the size of the embire state building to effectivly print a house in whole

[@upernoob]

[@Kobe8No8Means8No]

Looks like the phone will get scratched by the case...

[@Craydon]

Did she just call me a super-geek?

[@Fujiwara.Takumi1]

Custom case at $40 and isn't even 3D. Singapore is so expensive

[@moneymike422vids]

Those lines in case look stupid... It should be smooth plastic

[@Goulias7]

[@iSoInternet]

You should make a 3d printer out of a 3d printer then sell it for money! Win Win job!

[@LastbutNotFirst]

she looks egyptian. :)

[@leerman22]

Next scale to 1.001.

[@WutManintu]

In the future, we only buy blueprint.

[@lhk7006]

[@MrSuprem4cy]

I don't think normal people (except me) will spend over 1000$ for a printer

[@nanobot331]

Hey im not a super geek!!!!

[@thedarklightx343]

i was

[@milesranderiadarius]

Lol, your printer would have to be bigger than the house...

[@CuteEasyCharms]

You guys think it looks bad, it's an iphone case made by a prototype, calm down. "The edges should be smooth" "it looks cheap"! Shut up! You try making a 3D printer from scratch.

[@peterwhitey4992]

None of what you just said, changes the fact, that it's ugly, has non-smooth edges and looks cheap. Why should I make a 3D printer from scratch? The printer she used is a commercial printer. She didn't make it.

[@davidmano22]

make a 3d printed kite

[@CoochieGrips]

NO! im printing myself some moneyz

[@AfroWearingNyanPanda]

....fucking genius!
