There is a surprising amount of free space in this phone, I have other mods in the works. Especially if I can find a replacement battery. It's a surface Duo 2.

Missed opportunity for using micro pattern print plates or fancy infills like hilbert curve. On the plus side the design of the phone is so unique that I immediately knew that Microsoft doesn't like the right to repair movement.

I could potentially do that, I have to do the other side as well. This phone was designed poorly, the magnets are doomed to rip the back glass off eventually.

This is a warranty replacement device for this same issue.

Damn, this makes it even more infuriating that they don't offer replacement parts :(

I think the worst part is that they have jumper cables attached to the glass, so as it was pulling off the nfc and phone speaker would stop working.

you can do it directly in CAD too. I put carbon-fiber textures on the back of my phone cases I sell. It's way more realistic feeling compared to the build plates that have the pattern on them.

It's basically just a ton of little rectangles offset from each other. Then I ensure the bottom/top line direction is [0,90] in cura. You even get that cool depth effect when viewing at certain angles.
