I wanted to print myself a case for my new Pixel 7, so I took to F360, rebuilt the phone from manual measurements, and designed the case around that. As my design is meant to flex when fitted to the phone, this case can only be printed in flexible materials. I used TPU (Shore 85A) myself.
The manipulation volume is meant to be used within your slicer, to customize settings for overlaps with the case model. To do this, simply center both the case and the manip volume on the build plate (they have almost the same centerpoint). In Cura, select the manip volume and in the left-hand tool bar, select “Per Model Settings”. Switch over to “Modify settings for overlaps”, select the settings you want to adjust, and dial them in. Unfortuantely I'm not familiar with Prusaslicer, so I can't help you there, though I'm certain this functionality exists there too.
If you want to either customize my design or make your own case, I've included the step-files for both the case and the dummy Pixel 7 I reconstructed in the design process. this dummy has elongated studs in place of the USB-C port and the speakers with tolerances around them for easy shell-operations in CAD.
I recommend dialing in your flow, temperature and speed carefully before starting to print this case; you can configure your flow on a flat model a few millimeters high (like, say, a cube resized to 6mm x 30mm x 5mm (X Y Z)) with 100% infill and aligned extrusions (e.g. by forcing single direction for top/bottom lines). As flow with flexibles can be finicky and we want a good, solid case, this is very important. If the aligned lines separate when bending the test print, you should
a) increase flow
b) decrease speed
c) increase temperature.
After dialing in, I arrived at 138% flow, 17mm/s, 240°C, but your results my vary.
Recommended material: TPU (Shore 85A/95A)
Recommended print settings (as applicable in Cura):
-Infill: 100%
-Wall line count: 1
-Top/Bottom pattern: concentric
-Connect top/bottom polygons: enabled //These 3 settings are to reduce retractions as much as possible
My settings for the manipulation volume:
-Infill: 8%
-Infill pattern: Tri-Hexagon
-Connect infill polygons: enabled
-Infill line multiplier: 6
