There is another solution.When I first got my L5, I bought a silicone ‘case’. First time around I got them from Italy, and paid about 15 euro’s. Recently I came across them on AliExpress - needless to say for a lot less. After a couple of years they tend to loose their elasticity, so I had to replace the first one.
Here they are:
So far, I haven’t found anything that does a better job: it is one of the few that fit the L5 nicely, the corners are well-protected, the metal kick stand on the back protects the phone, and it works really well as a stand.
PLA seems way too hard and brittle to offer the same protection.
After struggling to catch the time to play around in FreeCAD, I went ahead an ordered a 3D print of the “first draft of the Big Battery House” and included some images over here: Big Battery House - #5 by Dlonk
Not sure how this will go, might end up spawning a fireball with bad wiring.
I got curious, so tested it (again): over 11,5kg (about 25.35 pounds, or 405.7 ounces), in addition to the phone weight (0,258kg or 0.5688 pounds, or 9.101 ounces). No deformities, no cracks. Corners seem to hold even better than I thought.
