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 2
- Now heat the print bed to 70-80 °C, depending on how capable your printer is. You can safely leave the hotend cool, we don’t need it.
- Do not touch the print bed! You can get burned.

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.
