Moto G5 PLUS protective case - Rugged V1.0

thingiverse

I designed my first Moto G5 Plus case a while back, which worked well with most materials. However, just a few days after posting that design, I got some new matt PLA that looked amazing and immediately tested it on the G5 Plus case. The material looked great and printed flawlessly with zero warping issues. The only problem was the relatively bad layer adhesion, which caused the case to break when trying to squeeze in the phone. To solve this issue and make the case printable in virtually any material, I decided to reinforce the edges of the cut-outs. Besides strengthening the case at its weakest points, it also adds more protection to the bottom area in case of a fall. I've had two cases in use for three months now and they're still intact and performing great. The phone doesn't feel too bulky, it sits better in the hand, and most importantly, it's well protected. I actually use the green one daily, while the black one is reserved for more serious occasions or funerals. This package contains models with a 3D pattern on the back. It also includes a version without the "M" logo cutout, as some people might prefer a simpler look. For those interested in the bulk version of the case, which includes an .STP file to make it easier to customize, please take a look at this post: The case is designed for the Motorola (Lenovo) Moto G5 Plus. It has two cut-outs on the back for the camera bump and the Motorola logo, as well as one small hole for the noise-canceling microphone. On the side, there's a cutout for the volume key buttons and lock button, and on the bottom, it has a cutout for the charging port and audio jack. If printed properly, it should snap in nicely like a normal commercial case. One of its great advantages is that the phone sits much nicer in the hand and isn't as slippery without the case. So, with this one, you get both prevention and protection.
