Introduction

The requirements are simple: the printer should have a strong, heated print bed. That’s all!

What you need

Step 1

              How to open a phone with a 3D printer (no joke)               
  • First, turn on your 3D printer and make sure that there are no objects (such as plastic left on it) on the print bed.
  • Make sure the printer is fully functional. It must not have any malfunctions, as higher temperatures are used here.

Step 3

  • Put the cell phone on the print bed and set yourself a timer of 30 seconds.
  • This should be sufficient for these purposes. However, if the phone is still too cool, you can put it on for another 15 seconds.
  • The print bed actually transfers a lot of direct heat. That means you don’t have to wait long.
  • When you’re done, you can take the phone off the print bed and start fooling around on it.
  • It is better to handle the phone with protection, such as a kitchen towel or gloves! The underside of the cell phone gets very hot.
