Improved! iPhone Gear Case with Geneva Mechanism

cults3d

This is a custom iPhone Gear Case that I designed and drew myself. It's much easier to print than my previous case, with added strength and a better fit. I removed areas beneath the buttons and sliders to make them easier to use, and cut out a section around the headphone port so bigger jacks will fit without needing to remove the case. The edges of the case are tall enough to prevent the screen from touching when placed face down. I added a bevel to the ledges that hold the case onto the phone, making it very easy to print without support. Here's a video showing the gears in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWJ5edtyhjU https://www.flickr.com/photos/quentint/8587604437/ I got the Geneva Mechanism idea from jessed, and used msruggles' solidworks gear generator to create the gear profiles.
