I designed this case for the IPhone 5s/5c using Solidworks.
I found a similar pattern using diamond shapes and circles and thought it could create and interesting look if I repeated the pattern all across the back of the phone case.
This worked out well, after reducing the size of the pattern you keep an interesting look while still covering the majority of the back to keep the phone protected.
The case clips easily onto the phone protecting the back and the edge from scratches!
I designed it to be a fast and easy print - placed flat down onto the print bed (so the file will print as it is - without the need for support material or any extra measures).
I printed this one using an Ultimaker 2 but it will work just as well using other printers.
I used white PLA - at a layer height of 0.2mm and print speed 50mm/s with good results, as it is a fast print you could reduce the layer height further or choose slower print settings to produce a case of even higher quality!
Import the file into your printer software with the back facing down onto the print bed.
Turn off support material and you're ready to print.
The finish on the back of the case will be shinier if it is printed onto a smooth surface such as glass, printing onto other materials such as masking tape will result in more of a matte finish.
