Medtronic 670 Countour G Sensor Phone Case

thingiverse

Need to have my Glucose readings abvailable during flight. Medtronic 670 with the G Sensor and Countour Next reader doesn't allow that. Enter some really good hackers... and they came up with the Nightscout 600 uploader. Downside: You need to have the Countour Next attached to the phone via OTG cable. Tried the cable... worked until the cable broke. Sooo... it needs support. This is my solution for this issue. Keeps my Huawei P10 pro solid and accessible, while the Countour next stays attached below. Material: Printing: The usual, Printer, Material of your choice and color Brass threads: M3 3mm Brass Threaded Heat Set Insert Plastic 3D Printing Metal Nut Supplies https://www.ebay.de/itm/150pc-M3-Brass-Threaded-Heat-Set-Insert-Plastic-3D-Printing-Metal-Nut-Supplies/193230041051?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Cable: 0.05m USB Type C double 90 Degree Ribbon Flat OTG cable from ALIEXPRESS for 8$ Vendor doesn't sell that particular calbe anymore but there are plenty of alternatives. Bolts: 20mm (preferably longer) M3. I cut off the head and used superglue Making: Print the stuff standing upright. No skirt needed. The cable cover is best printed with the outer flat surface facing upwards using support. All the nasty surfaces will face inside and are then invisible. I didn't use support on the case...I used my soldering iron on the wheel cases. worked well. Use the iron to sink in the M3 threads without soiling the inside. widening the hole a bit with heat or drill is an option but was not needed for me. I ppushed some material over the thread rim to secure it further. I widened the hole in the wheels to eacily receive the threaded bolts. If you have use longer bolts. the hole in the back of the wheel well can receive it and make all it all the more stable. Put a drop of superglueon the bols and quickly push them through the housing, wheel and if you have longer bolts, the wheel housing. every 20s, rotatethe boltsbriefly from the front. Check and ensure that the wheel is rotating as well. Do that for 1-2min, add a drop of machine oil to the front and back and free up the wheels. Works great. Cable: Do a dry run. Add the cable and Countour and check if the pphone slides in easily. Use shimsof doublesided tape of needed. In my case, I had to lower the plug by .5mm for my Mate10pro. Add hottglue to the Phone side plug and secure it. Add hotglue to the female USB and insert the Countour to have everything set into position. Try if the cover fits. Add hotglue to the channel and insert the coverto sit flush with the surface. Voila: Case is ready. As to the software: Check out Lennart Goedhart's work project site: https://github.com/pazaan/600SeriesAndroidUploader/wiki And big thanks to him for this :) Cumbersome... but it's a decent, powerful pump, great support and a decent sensor. Until they open it up for bluetooth I can get my readings in the air using this system. Happpy printing. Should anybody make this thing: Let me know. I'd be stoked about pictures and printing stories.
