Stuff

rev9aback.stl is a model that should screw nicely to the back of a pinephone and replaces it's stock frame.

the rev10 files include a folding mechanism with a cable passage. Currently looking for feedback for problems on this one before I do rev 11.

rev 10 problems

Looking for confirmation and suggestions on solutions for these issues with rev 10 that I would like to fix in 11

  • Base layer too thin on lid: fixed
  • Base layer too thick on phone side: fixed
  • doesn't have a reset button hole
  • lid is flimsy, could use a thicker wall
  • still need side buttons worked out
  • hinge gaps are all wrong
  • hinge should rest on a hingepin not on the cable passage cup faces
  • maybe include a washer or two in the hinge
  • camera hole is really ugly
  • headphone jack is weak
  • charger hole is ugly
  • need to decide on an actual size if using nuts and bolts
  • bumps for holding angle should be deeper
  • screw holes for pinephone might be too big?
  • lid screwholes are not very useful. Maybe posts?
