  • It isn’t most people everywhere. Where I live I’d say about 30-40% have iPhones, about another 20% Samsung and Pixel, and the rest are brands like Xiaomi and One Plus. Personally, I love being able to just order a part or battery on Aliexpress and replace it myself or at an independent repair shop, and worst case paying a quarter of what an iphone costs just to replace the whole phone. Which is why I don’t totally understand people needing to buy specifically an iphone.









  • The process is generally: Slice Print with resin printer Clean in ipa bath to remove excess resin Air dry Cure in a uv enclosure

    My knowledge is limited but from my experience Formlabs printers are high quality and as close to plug and print as you’ll get. The proprietary slicer is very good but also somewhat limited. Also Formlabs printers are expensive.

    I’ve also used an Elegoo Saturn 2. There’s a lot of hassle involved but the printer and resin are much cheaper and you have a lot more freedom with materials, slicers, customization, etc.
