Warning

This 3d-model of a replacement back cover should be made for aesthetic purposes only and does not have the functionality or safety standards as the original back cover. Some major downside of using this back cover are:

  • Phone loses its dust and splash water resistance, even sand can easily get in
  • You lose the NFC sensor if not transplanted
  • The original has a sticker which presumably is for some kind of electromagnetic shielding. If you want to use the phone with this backside you need to apply the same shielding from the original back cover to this one
  • When Peeling of the electromagnetic shielding sticker or the NFC sensor, be careful not to rip off the contact leads of the NFC sensor. I would suggest to first peel of the contact leads before anything else

Very important print settings

  • Layer hight 0.1 mm or less
  • Initial layer hight 0.2 mm 

Suggested print settings for translucent PLA (Cura)

  • Top/Bottom Pattern: Lines
  • The Top/Bottom Lines must face in one direction. Edit the Top/Bottom Line Direction setting and input only one angle like [0] or in my case [45]
  • slower print speed
  • slow down/disabled part cooling fan
  • higher temperature ~225°C
  • increase layer width to max 0.45
  • increase flow to max 103%
