For LG840G Cell Phones See also my version without the ipod-shuffle case, just a cover at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:658862. I wanted to make use of my new iPod Shuffle and have it with me whenever I want. I often use it plugged into my car stereo. It prints perfectly fine. One thing to consider before printing is to print the parts separately. This is because the phone-clip part that presses down over the iPod case part needs to be printed at a slower speed, around 20 to 30mm/s, while the case pictured was printed at 80mm/s. The phone-clip has thin small finger clips which need to be printed slowly. It turns out nice because the phone-clip part will wear out with a finger clip breaking after a few months of pocket use. They print quickly. Don't forget to use support for the phone-clip, as it's necessary to get all parts in and printable. I hated this step, but it was the only way I could think of to make it work. You may have some areas that require gluing some velvet or paper into the iPod case part to give a bit more holding power. I hope you enjoy using it, Rick. Note: The picture shows a small piece of thin card stock glued inside the top finger on the phone-clip part. The updated version 4 with the download should fix this without any card stock needed. Update: I also wanted to add that the fingers may print a bit loose and not have the snap-in effect on your phone as desired. To remedy this, use a micro torch or maybe a hair drier to warm the top single finger and squeeze it in a bit. This should work fine and give you the snap-in effect you like.
