Pretty impressed how well that one turned out. Used SUNLU TPU in yellow with 200/50 degrees Celsius at 20mm/s speed on my Voxelab Aquila (upgraded PEI bed and DirectDrive, also used Filament drybox).
This filament to be exact:
Angebot: SUNLU TPU Filament, 1KG Flexibles 95A TPU 3D Drucker Filament 1.75mm Maßgenauigkeit +/- 0.03 mm, Hohe Liquidität und Elastizität, 1KG（2.2Lbs) Spule, TPU Filament für FDM 3D Drucker,TPU Gelb https://amzn.eu/d/7H5TLjr
That is crazy looking good, got a spool form https://dwdev.se Whit filament is that? Love the yellow color but cant seem to find it anywhere.
Very nice. Did you model this yourself? If so, did you also have to model your phone or were you able to find a dimensionally accurate model somewhere else?
My iPhone 13 Mini case is now ready to be downloaded:

Thanks for the follow up/link. I don't have an iPhone 13 mini, but I am going to have a bunch of spare TPU soon and you got me thinking. As you said, it can take a bunch of iterations to get a great fit. I was curious if you had a secret sauce, but hearing that we follow a similar process was comforting.
It’s not perfectly easy, but if you are a little used to 3D programs like fusion360 and have a caliper, it’s perfectly doable. Oh and this here helped me getting the curves right:

Nice and clean looking result, great job!
Would it be possible to embed harder plastic bumpers/reinforcements from PETG or PLA inside the walls? I feel like that could make something like this even more useful
Looks great!
I made a TPU phone case a while back as well with some neat custom cutouts on the back. I really liked it, but the heavy use/touching made the case get off-color and dirty looking, especially on the edges, with no way to clean it off.
I know you can clean tpu with diluted bleach, did you try anything that harsh?
I'm guessing you could clear coat it to keep it cleaner for longer
