LG V35 Tudia Case Shell with Kickstand by BadMouth

Last crawled date: 3 years, 4 months ago

I wanted a case for my LG V35 ThinQ with a built in kickstand that doesn't take up any additional room or interfere with wireless charging.
THIS IS NOT AN ENTIRE CASE, but just an outer shell that replaces the hard polycarbonate shell part of a Tudia Merge case. You must have a Tudia Merge case to use this cover. You must also cut a rectangle out of the soft TPU portion of the case for the kickstand to fit into.
Getting a good first layer is critical to printing this so the gaps around the kickstand and hinges remain open. Printing the first layer the same height as my other layers (.175) helped. I printed at 100% infill since it is thin and needs to be strong.
Once printed swing the bottom of the kickstand back and forth across the catches to loosen them up. Then apply gentle steady pressure to get the hinge to open. If it still takes too much pressure to get the kickstand open with your fingernail, sand the nubs on the kickstand down a bit.
I included a second version with wider gaps and no latch for people who have a problem getting good tolerances or want to go a different direction with the latch.
Provided as-is, no warranty, I won't be making any revisions.
I am hoping for some remixes though.
