Custom Design - Triumph Aluminum Case

[bobloadmire]

Designed in Solidworks, Rendered in Keyshot. Don't have the money to send off for a prototype, but this would be super nice to have.

Version 1.0

Spoiler

Version 2.0

reduced weight to 20.1 grams and also made thiner and more gripable. Should be easier for headphone jacks too.

Damn that's nice . Too bad I'm not still in school other wise I might've been able to use a cnc mill and cut that out. Or at least make a 3D printing of it... Hmmm... Maybe... Could you pm me the solidworks file?

 

[MediocreBadGuy]

Wth lol, that's actually pretty badass

 

[ziggy46]

OMFG!!!!! thats frekin awesome!!!!


i would totally buy one from whoever can get this made!

(you wont have to worry about a damaged phone)

Dam, this is pretty sick to hold on to but how do I access the buttons, lol

good point... DESIGN FLAW!!!! BOOO!!! just kidding lol

 

[marc12868]

Yea.. I noticed that too. No openings for the ports or buttons. What you could do is edit it so there is an opening where the power button and volume rocker is and add metal buttons that stick out the holes but touch the buttons so you can press them. As well as make a opening in the bottom for the ports, and on the sides for the speakers. Also how thick is that?

 

[MediocreBadGuy]

Metal side buttons would be cool...and maybe a sliding metal cover for the HDMI/Charging ports at the bottom?

 

[MRCMidnight]

I have not realized the thickness. Heck it won't fit my Beats Tours on the phone since I have a L shaped adapter.

Also some felt layering on the inside, do not want scuff marks.

I just did all of the button cut outs. Also the speaker openings are rad because the bolt goes through them. One sec. Ill upload the new ones.

I think I can make a mod for that. link me to a pic of the connector type.

how much is it to get it prototyped?

i would pay help pay for 2 prototypes if i could get one? (well depends how much though first)

Ill look into it, I need to just make one first because chances are there will need to be modifications that can only be realized once you hold the damn thing in your hand. Too many variables till I can test fit one to a triumph. Make a batch of 10 and none of them fit right would suck.

Version 1.1

I might be able to get wood prototypes for testing purposes... I can talk to my old teacher and see if I can use the CNC and cut out a wooden prototype. That wouldn't be too bad price wise. And there would be no guarantee that I could, but I probably would be able too. And I could make some minor modifications and have access to solidworks and measuring tools.

cool, want me to send you an STL file? those tend to be the easiest to CNC with.

that would suck... i will also do research.

also, before giving out your idea to companies. get them to sign a confidentiality form before giving them the technical drawing

 

[MediocreBadGuy]

v1.1 looks awesome and would for sure buy one

yup, or you can give a non editable STL file. Give the design, but no of the features can be imported. They would have to copy it by hand from scratch, which copanies do anyway by buying a product and copying it.

Or you can just send me the soldiworks part and I can get it all converted and such. It may not be for a while, but we'll see.

 

[ziggy46]

you may also want the prototypes to be made in plastic so its not expensive... and then when you know it all works, get it in aluminum

 

[MRCMidnight]

Mine's like this:

At the end of the head shell it reaches the edge of the Triumph, just so you know

yeah thats hard to work with, but I can make it larger on the back side of the hole so it maybe could come out the back. Sides would be hard because how much you would have to take out. a small 3-4mm jack extender would be perfect though to bring the connector just out to the hole.

you can get it 3D printed in ABS plastic. (shouldnt be too much)
