Print It Yourself: What is interesting in the world of 3D printing from the point of view of the owner of Lumia
Despite the enormous potential of three-dimensional printing, it is, unfortunately, still far from being part of everyday life for each of us. Nevertheless, enthusiasts and professionals in this field are making great strides, presenting a car ready for the realization, a stunning gypsum (for fixing damaged bones) , then ...
Dress Nokia Lumia , whose frame is printed on a 3D-printer
In fact, the enumeration of all significant projects may take more than one hour, so we will focus on projects that are interesting to us, available for Lumia and (!) Lumia.
Yes, yes, you understood us correctly: now, in order to print anything on a 3D printer, it is not necessary to have a computer at hand. An example of this is the application for Windows Phone , written by fifteen-year-old South Africans Gerald de Klerk and Peter Schulz, the founders of a small startup Banana 3D , which will allow you to manage printing from Lumia or any other smartphone on WP 8.1.

True, so far the application does not work with all printers, but only with the well-known family of “self-replicating” RepRap printers equipped with an additional Bluetooth module.
In order to print any three-dimensional model with Lumia, simply download it through the application from email or OneDrive and connect your smartphone to a 3D printer, choosing the one you need from the drop-down list. The application supports .stl and .gcode files, the latest of which can be found on the Thingiverse website.
It is noteworthy that the application was originally created as part of a project of an affordable three-dimensional printing system for developing regions. Gerald and Peter used the Fused Filament Fabrication-based PrintRbot RepRap printer as the basis for the melting process.
It has a rather modest price (in Russia it is about 20,000 rubles for the simplest model) and unpretentious to maintain - as we have already mentioned above, more than half of the spare parts can be printed on it. The maximum size of the model is 145 mm x 168 mm x 145 mm with a density of layers of 50 ~ 100 microns.
In the future, students from South Africa are planning to find cheaper materials for the manufacture of standard components, perhaps they will even open their own production line of materials for printing in South Africa, which can reduce the cost of materials.
The project won the Grand Prix at the Science Exhibition in North Gauteng. As part of a demonstration of the project, students printed out a cover for the Nokia Lumia 820, connecting it to a Lumia 920 printer.
By the way, about cases and Lumia 820. You may remember how last year Nokia laid out in open access three - dimensional models of interchangeable cases Lumia 820, allowing 3D-print enthusiasts to create their own versions of cases for their smartphones.
From that moment on, we really caught sight of some very interesting specimens. For example, the back to school Nokia Lumia Cover panel, which the designer of the iMaterialise service made for the sake of entertainment for his assistant Jack. However, the resulting panel of the phone with a triangle and a pencil mount surpassed all expectations and cheerfully spread over the network.
Also for this model, we were able to find an excellent cover with a mount for the bicycle handlebars ...
... and a panel with a cardholder on the back.
But not the Lumia 820 single, there are interesting 3D models for Nokia accessories on the Internet. For example, a convenient stand for the popular wireless charging Nokia DT-900 . Thanks to a special stand, it allows you to place the panel and smartphone vertically, which is convenient, because all notifications will be visible even when Lumia is on charge.
If you do not have wireless charging or you just want your smartphone to stand comfortably on the table, then look at the following models of stands:
Laconic stand for Lumia 1520.
The official model of the stand under the Lumia 1020 from the Microsoft Store.
The latter, by the way, was finalized by members of the Thingverse community, receiving an additional “window” to accommodate the USB-cord.
Fans of decorating their smartphones may like a variety of art-covers for the Lumia 920 from Gibbage Cases.
And for the modern flagship Lumia 930 on the Thingverse, a stylish panel with a pattern of large hexagons was found.
Well, at the end of our collection of finds there are two fairly specialized models: a holder for the Lumia 520 (in principle, in the editor, you can easily change the dimensions for any surface and any smartphone) and the motorcycle mount for the Lumia 1020.
Agree that the above projects suggest that 3D printing is on the rise, but mainly enthusiasts or small companies are involved in modeling. However, examples such as the stand from Microsoft Store may hint to us that in the near future we will be able to print official accessories at home or even individual parts of smartphones with all our preferences. What do you think?
