Phone Case - Redmi 13C - PETG

Xiaomi Redmi 13C Phone Case:

• The case is slightly taller than the phone (+0.7 mm) and will also cover the height of the phone with protective glass (e.g. 0.4mm Gorilla glass, etc).
• Tolerances for model are 0.2 mm (offset from phone).
• The bottom of the case also has full-height cameras covered, so the phone doesn't wobble on the table and the cameras are protected from scratches.
• Two cover versions: fixed and removable.

It is also a good to increase the setting in the extruder section ,,Minimum travel after retraction'' to 8 mm, due to the side ribbing on the case (PETG does not like too frequent retraction).
 

Installation: 
First, place the phone on the case with the shorter side that is close to the camera, then snap-on the opposite shorter side (with USB).

For removing cover, there are two versions:

1) For the Fixed version, is removing destructive for PETG, PLA case, use small pliers to cut out the USB hole bridge, grab the plastic again and tear off the bottom edge of the PETG case (by twisting the pliers). Then the phone will be easier to remove.

2) The Removable version is detachable, it is the same as the first one, but has a cutout at the bottom so you can remove the phone.


More information about the cover versions (Fixed and Removable):
The advantage of the Fixed version of the cover is higher adhesion to the phone, for example when it falls (I use this version on my phone myself), it is suitable if you do not have to change the cover too often.

If you plan to change the cover (have more colorful covers), the Removable version is the best choice for you.

It is also possible, if you do not know which version of the cover to choose, to print the Removable version, try it on the phone for a few days and if the cover suits you, reprint the Fixed version.


💡 Tip for dry PETG filament in winter time: Just store the spools of filament in the open state above the home heater (not directly on the heater for safety), or place the filament there for a few hours before printing, its works as a hair dryer.
