allows you to design and 3D print the back of the CMF Phone 1

If Nothing has hit hard on the price of the CMF Phone (1) to completely unbalance the scales in the low-end Android range, it now wants to make itself known for the degree of customization it offers with its phones. The company led by Carl Pei is opening the CMF platform so that Custom cases can be created with a 3D printer for CMF Phone 1.

The community manager of Nothing has released the official physical specifications of the back of the mobile on the official FMC forum. The goal is none other than to significantly increase the degree of customization of the CMF Phone 1 by allowing anyone to create an unofficial case.

But best of all, Nothing has released a official STL file which is ready to be printed on 3D. Although there is a but here, since this type of file is a collection of 3D Cartesian points that define a good bunch of triangles to create the mesh of the 3D object.

These types of files can be downloaded from most popular 3D printing websites, but They cannot be manipulated or modifiedso the model published by Nothing cannot be used to create a custom back panel according to the taste of the designer or user. The file needed is STEP or IGES, the industry standard for CAD.

The user community requested these files, and the best part: the community manager of There was no indication that he was viewing the files to share them.. Which was not avoided, according to Android Policethat some users publish the files made with the Blender program and transmit them to the community. You can access six designs made by 3D printed cat and invited anyone who wishes to use them to recreate their own variations.

The fact that the manufacturer officially offers support is something unheard of on mobile phones today. We’ll have to see if you finally share the requested files and we can therefore say that Nothing’s support for the creator community is the example to follow by other manufacturers who want to bet on a different experience in terms of customization.

DIY with Nothing is about to become a reality so that one can take Blender, modify the STEP or IGES file and just take out your 3D printerif you have it, or go to a store to have the case printed. A total experience for a large mobile phone like the CMF Phone 1, which already offers accessories for a modular experience.
