Fairphone 2 Cover

A cover for the Fairphone 2.

The bottom part comes in two different versions - with a silly logo and a clear one. If you want to make your own version feel free to use the .blend file.

The two halves keep together with a little (kind of) hook that fits in one of the openings of the inner frame of the phone. Watch out to not rip off your antenna-stickers from the inner frame when attaching the lower part of the cover. I really recommend printing it in some soft and flexible material.

There's a chance you'll have to use some scalpell or knife for the buttons and button-holes as they're pretty tight in tolerance.

edit: Attention! It seems my printers Z-steps/mm is wrong in the factory-FW and therefore makes every print taller by 1,25% which results in a cover too big for actual use. I'll have to rework the cover again for a better fit, so please wait until I did that or just stretch the bottom cover for ~2mm in Z-axis as a dirty workaround.

Notes:

Both halves are supposed to be printed in an upright position in a resolution of 0,05-0,15mm. If you print it coarser, there's quite some chance your very top/bottom part will come out pretty ugly.rnrnUse a fan for the first and the last few millimeters.rnrnAs for the buttons: print them as fine as possible with some support.rnrnMaterial: The cover should be printed in a soft and flexible material that can stand some heat. I've had some good experience with bendlay flex and laywood flex. Medium/hard TPU should be alright as well but don't try the very soft stuff - you'll just get a wobbly cover with that. And don't print it in PLA/PETG/PC/ABS/... as you're risking to destroy your phone with such a stiff cover. If you want to have it as transparent as possible, consider printing it without infill (works really well with a 0,5mm nozzle) and a coarse resolution. The buttons should be printed in any harder material. PLA for example is ok for them.
