Here is a variation of my Ultimate Note 3 case. (Original is here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:407517) This version omits the cover and magnets but retains the Sugru bumpers. You can check out this video showing the magnetized version: http://youtu.be/rTBjehUN_zA The various iterations include: Ultimate (Magnets, Cover, Bumpers): http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:407517 No Bumpers (Magnets, Cover): http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:414865 No-frills (No Bumpers, No Magnets, No Cover):http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:415418 The case was designed as two separate pieces to enable printing with smaller build areas (6"x6"), such as the Printrbot Simple Metal. This case fits Note 3 perfectly without its original back piece. You can access the battery by simply sliding off both sections. The Sugru bumpers add protection at each of the four corners, ensuring a secure grip through strategic design that lets the Sugru adhere tightly. To achieve this snug fit, I highly recommend purchasing Sugru at http://sugru.com or on Amazon here: http://amzn.to/1upL7Zw and following my precise specifications to obtain 2 small packs. Instructions Components: Sugru: buy two packs at http://amzn.to/1upL7Zw. Before beginning, you need to print the top and bottom pieces. I strongly suggest using InTheGarage's Slic3r settings for a high-quality outcome, found here: http://www.camwatt.com/printrbot-simple-metal-slic3r-settings.html Clean out any support structures carefully with pliers. If necessary, refine the edges using a Dremel and sandpaper, ensuring that all holes align properly without compromising openings. Insert Note 3 into your new case after completely removing its original backpiece to guarantee maximum convenience and functionality during regular use. Notice how I added small notches in the corners to prevent excessive slippage caused by inadequate Sugru gripping; simply plug those voids using any spare bit of adhesive for an absolute fit – don't worry, you'll hardly even notice!
