My Customized Improved Phone Case

thingiverse

This is a text file containing various parameters used to generate custom cases for iPhones. These parameters define the design and layout of the case, including dimensions, angles, and chamfers. Here's an analysis of each section: ### Header The header indicates that this is an iPhone case file and defines several variables related to printing quality: ```python version=10\ndecorative_solid_layers = 1\npattern_density_multiplier = .5 ``` These lines indicate the version of the software used to create the case, set the number of solid layers in decorative areas to 1 (presumably for 3D printing), and a pattern density multiplier value. ### Outline Points and Rotations ```python outline_points_x[] = [-12,-18,-30,50] outline_points_y[] = [4,6,-32,56]\nstencil_rotation = 0 ``` These lines specify the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of specific points on the iPhone model. In this case, they seem to define four locations (left-front-upper-back-bottom) on an iPhone body. `stencil_rotation` specifies how much the stencil rotates in terms of angles. ### Corner Resolutions ```python custom_corner_resolution = 8\ncustom_left_port_length = 50\npattern_element_shape = 3 ``` The value of `custom_corner_resolution=8` indicates a higher precision level when rendering custom port designs, ensuring sharper transitions and less stair-step effects. `custom_left_port_length=50` implies that this case design features a 5x-longer-than-usual bottom left port area with high customization. The choice of pattern element shape could potentially modify how patterns are projected onto or placed on the surface. ### Fill Stencil Parameters ```python stencil_size = 40\ncustom_top_port_x_position = -10\nuse_stencil = 0\nstencil_pattern_element_radius = 6 ``` These settings refer to stenciling. In simple terms, this could allow specific colors to be printed or used in different locations for better effect and accuracy of a customized iPhone case pattern. ```python ncustom_left_port_y_position = 0\ncustom_right_port_y_position = 0 ``` ### General Design Options `use_mouse_ears=0\npattern_element_overlap=27\ncustom_phone_length = 100` The line `use_mouse_ears=0` and the `pattern_element_overlap=27` values provide information on additional iPhone design aspects, while setting `custom_phone_length = 100` specifies a custom phone length which can refer to any part of this particular project including side length as needed in future customizations. ```python custom_top_port_corner_radius = 5\ncustom_left_port_y_position = 0\ncustom_right_port_y_position = 0 ``` ### Stencil and Port Customization Parameters In addition to other general design features mentioned, this set defines further aspects related to stenciling. - The final output of `custom_overhang_fillet_resolution` is related to the width as well as angle that goes through fillet areas to maintain even angles between any solid surfaces present throughout an object when a high precision or custom project design requires specific corners not otherwise visible. ### Printer Tolerance ```python printer_tolerance = 0.4\ncustom_left_port_corner_radius = 5\ncustom_back_extra_port_y_size = 30\nstencil_fill_type = 0\ncustom_top_inner_edge_chamfer_radius = .6 ``` ### Mouse Ears & Pattern Details Some lines relate directly or somewhat related to mouse ear custom designs while pattern detail features include radius specifications such as how deep certain elements of patterns project onto cases, `custom_back_extra_port_corner_radius` defines a curve and overall aesthetic for one particular portion within design. ```python pattern_element_shape = 3\ncustom_bottom_fillet_resolution = 8\nstencil_pattern_element_radius = 6\ncustom_right_port_y_position = 0\ncustom_overhang_width = 1.6\ncustom_top_inner_edge_chamfer_radius = .6 ``` The design specifications defined by these lines indicate high levels of custom design in a single project, indicating a detailed understanding of how specific areas within an iPhone can be precisely controlled or custom tailored with desired features to fit needs such as visual appearance.
