Hey I have a question.. have you tried fitting the iPhone case to an actual iPhone?

I'm curious because my prints usually turn out brittle so I've had 3D printed (not on Solidoodle though) iPhone cases break when I try to actually use it on my phone.

Maybe there's some better way to print or should use different settings?

Sorry for the response delay, but yeah I fit one right after I calibrated my printer. It is a very snug fit, but it worked. It's all about finding the right model on thingiverse. I'll try to find the one I used if it'll help you out any.

I put up a post about the gear bearing as to not derail Schieggster's thread.

I don't mind, lol. It's a pretty open thread anyway, just me posting everything smile

And I've got a video on facebook, I'll upload it to youtube, it's really short, no explanation or anything...

Step 1: Calibrate the shit out of your machine
Step 2: Kisslicer gave me nice toolpaths, while slic3r's gcode seemed to fuse the parts together. I could see this behavior in the RH gcode viewer.

Step 3: Print (I used .3mm Octave Natural ABS)
Step 4: Use a power drill after print to snap any fused parts.
Step 5: Impress all the ladies.

I printed several copies of emmet's gear bearing as everyone at the office wanted one. I need to try that geared cube.

Do they really spin as freely as it shows in the video? Did you do any post print cleanup to get it to?

Mine was completely stuck together the first time I printed sad
