super awesome fun time. crackiin did some awesome work and has spent tons of time working that model just to give out to the community!

[@TalkingSasquach]

Hell yeah! He's such a solid dude!

[@myname-mz3lo]

mehh he is stopping people from selling them wich means only people with 3d printers can have one . kind of gatekeepey ...

[@TalkingSasquach]

@@myname-mz3lo there are plenty of services u can hire to print one for you

[@jmr]

​@@TalkingSasquachGiven how good it looks I wonder if a version that includes the transparent screen would work? A lot of people scratched up their screens. Is the 3D printed case clear enough for that to be practical?

[@zR_CrackiiN]

​@myname-mz3lo stops people from profiting from community projects, stops people from buying sub par products that dont do the design justice and just look real shitty. you're more than welcome to get one professionally done like we have 🎉

[@zR_CrackiiN]

Thnx for the love ❤️

[@TalkingSasquach]

Of course buddy!!

[@genkishan]

Thnx for sharing at PCBWay can't wait to see shiny purple I ordered the other day, curious but also already sweating I don't screw up especially when removing the NFC sticker

[@gam3rpro_z210]

It's amazing how Flipper Zero is evolving and how the community is growing. :)

[@addykinsleepwalker]

This worked like a charm! The only thing I would say, is make sure you have a decent length screwdriver bit (I used PH000), as the holes are DEEP, and my electric screwdriver bits were 1mm - 2mm too short to reach into the external case screw holes and the 1 deeply recessed internal one. The cases look PHENOMENAL though. Big shoutout to TTS for this. He is really active on the Discord Server too, and helped me out with my Pwnagotchi project too!

[@ncc74656m]

I literally messaged someone on Reddit the other day about this project, haha. I can't believe it finally made it to reality! I'm ordering mine now.

[@PATCHEZinSPACE]

im so glad youre growing! Love the cases! im def gonna be buying some cases soon.

[@ncc74656m]

Thanks so much Squach! I now have mine installed. I held off on the cost for the custom colored unit but when I have some splurge money, purple one is in my future! I also got my RGB backlight kit installed, too (from Astro).

[@rafita8871]

SUPER DUPER COOL !!!! already on my basket waiting for revision :D

[@neilmills4232]

awsome video, just swapped my 2 flippers to a green and orange clear case, pcbway delivered before christmas excelent quality.

[@jmr]

This makes me feel like the hatchet was thrown down and I should try to make my own model. 😂

[@doctordothraki4378]

Just ordered one with UTR Therm resin (transparent red) for a fashionable early 2000s look. Will see sometime how well it will look with Flipper's orange screen and buttons

[@GMDII]

ordered mine dude.. i cant wait. Cheers!

[@storbytronics]

It's nice seeing all of our work finally pay off!

[@Jason-jb1tf]

I'm wanting to print one of these via pcbway, and your instructions have helped. I was curious if the colored one is done via the pcbway "dyeing" option for the transparent spray varnish, or if there are other settings you recommend to get the translucent colored case. Sorry if I missed it in the video!

[@evodefense]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@un.defined]

@TalkingSasquach For the blue color did you select blue as a surface finish during the edit process in pcbway?

[@sortel]

So freaking awesome!

[@linarish]

LOOKING GOOD!

[@Glennmisztal75]

Thanks for the video! There are a couple of .stl 3d prints for Flipper Zero buttons. Are these good as well?

[@laser_detxx]

Looks amazing

[@shamelescampr5594]

Flawless move over from the white to the clear case. However, as soon as I had first ordered my flipper zero I would always notice a rattling noise inside of it and people had said oh it was just the Pogo pins were loose or something but come to find out taking it apart. I never had my third center Pogo pen installed. It's just been floating in the middle. Is there any way for me to properly solder this back on? It still works with just two Pogo pins, but it would be nice to have the third one attached back

[@Rick.Astley]

That's an awesome mod!

[@Caps_Locke]

Just ordered a set for mine!

[@mahtja1559]

Did you have any issue with resin prints from pcbway warping in your pocket?

[@milocatto]

just got my case in today! looks great but the directional buttons are kinda flush with the front case making them a little harder to press. Is that a thing or is it just mine?

[@Gobillion160]

this is sick im gonna get one right away

[@limitlesslife9409]

Are those cases 8k resolution printed? Well done man, this is ali from discord. Also cant wait for a video on the heltec LORA

[@nhalliday89]

For sure crackin killed it

[@CydiaMasterHack]

Hey!! Version 3.1 doesn't require the acrylic screen, nice upgrade if you are printing transparent. I have a question, what material do you recommend for the shell to look like the original black flipper shell?

[@mahtja1559]

I tried with the PWR black. The print looks awesome, but it warps very easily just being in your pocket. It doesn't take much heat to warp..

[@0xphk]

If you use nano tape as the adhesive replacement, it should be totally clear/invisible. But the thinnest version I know of is 1mm thick, would that still fit?

[@TalkingSasquach]

Not well, the NFC wants to be super close to the outside of the case

[@0xphk]

Did you test the effective NFC range while disassembled? Would be interesting to know. But I might give it a try, maybe I can find a thinner tape version as well, will order a few cases for me and my mates and we will see if it works and how it will look like.

[@auburnturner5]

I have just broken my flipper zero screen on a trampoline the screen protector is not broken, but the screen and the plastic are do you know how I can fix it

[@fauxque5057]

A few weeks ago Flipper sent me an email that they were selling Flippers with clear cases. They sold out quick.

[@jonathanarroyo7430]

Thanks very much!

[@adamcampbell4463]

How much interference do you think you would get if you made it with a titanium backplate instead of clear?? I'm assuming it would only be for the pins on the back.

[@geoff255]

I’d like to know as well!!

[@polilla32]

Hey! Dumb question, what firmware are you using with that app layout?

[@Fvchs089]

XTreme-Firmware. 😘

[@danny_cunningham]

I really like the blue transparent. I just bought the limited edition clear from flipper. Will you buy one? I wouldn’t think so because you have a few but who knows

[@TalkingSasquach]

I ordered on immediately lol

[@Zed.Y.]

Can someone please help me? When taking the back apart, I accidentally stripped the screws so I had to break the back shell off and while doing that I accidentally broke the back pins, am I able to reattach those somehow? Maybe heating up bottom of the pin and reattching it? The pins came of very cleanly, so I assume this is possible?

[@christopherfrawley2560]

What kind of screws are this? I'm asking for a friend...

[@oisin404]

Is it possible to do it without the heat gun?

[@janet.snakehole]

any idea if they will have official transparent ones again soon?

[@DEXV0]

Looking into getting one!

[@sufianiskandar3586]

How do we get the transparent blue color case on PCBWay?

[@f7p1764]

is this count if we just connect flipper zero to charge through usbc to laptop that have Kali Linux on it and use laptop instead? 😀👍

[@user-he4rp7uj8o]

I've been downing zips and the problem with flipper zero is there updates not fitting right 😂 with Bluetooth and location on found out using that can be hacked around your surroundings not safe at all then you'll have a flipper freeze not working

[@user-he4rp7uj8o]

Also third party s on Bluetooth

[@thechronic555]

Ok, sooo, any remedies for broken pogo pins?? Asking for a friend..

[@jessecool2980]

This coupled with the internal esp32 mod would be interesting.

[@Go3yaCellf]

Website doesn’t have color option for resin selected

[@cameronrich2536]

I've wanted one of these for too long

[@plethoraofpinatas]

I wonder if someone like myself could ask for someone else to print it for a commission? You've got a few shells lying around maybe, and cash is still king right? I was also just about to see if this white shell could have an airbrush taken to it. Anyone tried that yet? I've got all the stuff to make very cool custom paint, and have a real nice airbrush kit, i'm just not sure if the plastic will reject the paint. I've built model kits for about 20 years now so...

[@daan_tech1]

Can you get WiFi board covers like this thanks

[@Imurge]

[@piehax7891]

Looks great! But what about the buttons? :)

[@zR_CrackiiN]

Buttons require revision still, ongoing project

[@JJTrick]

@@zR_CrackiiN Can’t wait for those. I tried to dye my case and buttons and used too high of heat and warped them pretty bad. This will solve my case issue, but I’ll need the buttons to fully fix it!

[@myname-mz3lo]

they have a forum they know what we want . but they are a small company and are focusing on the flipper v2 . the commmunity can take care of this kind of stuff

[@zR_CrackiiN]

They do have another shell in the works, was displayed during Q&A, it's only translucent though, not clear

It can change, usually for things like custom colors. That's the price I've seen most people paying
