A tiny laptop made from an iPhone 12 mini and a Torima M7 mini Bluetooth keyboard. The keyboard sits in the base, the phone in the lid. Closed it's 138 × 81 × 24.5 mm.

Two lids fit the same base:

  • lid.stl: the phone drops in and MagSafe holds it. Needs a MagSafe ring sticker.

  • slide-in_lid.stl: the phone slides in and a latch holds it. No sticker.

You need

  • iPhone 12 mini

  • Torima M7 mini Bluetooth keyboard (133 × 68 mm)

  • 2 × M3×20 screws, they're the hinge pins

  • A MagSafe ring sticker, about 56 mm, for lid.stl

Printing

PLA, 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls, 20% infill, no brim.

  • base.stl: no supports, ~1 h, 32 g

  • lid.stl: supports under the hinge knuckles, ~1 h, 35 g

  • slide-in_lid.stl: supports under the hinge knuckles, ~1 h 20 min, 37 g

Assembly

Stick the ring sticker into the round recess, press the keyboard into the base, set the lid on the base and screw the two M3s in from the sides.

Help wanted

The hinge is the weak spot: nothing keeps the lid closed, and the opening angle depends a lot on print accuracy. If you know hinges, ideas and PRs are very welcome on GitHub.

I've printed earlier versions of this; the current lids haven't been printed yet.
