Nokia To Release Lumia Case Design Files For 3D Printers

Posted by Soulskill on from the making-diy-easier dept.

another random user sends this news from the BBC: "Nokia is releasing design files that will let owners use 3D printers to make their own cases for its Lumia phones. Files containing mechanical drawings, case measurements and recommended materials have already been released by the phone maker. Those using the files will be able to create a custom-designed case for the flagship Lumia 820 handset. The project makes Nokia one of the first big electronics firms to seriously back 3D printing."

    Now they can print out a genuine Nokia case and pack inside whatever cheap Huawei phone they want to.

    Excuse me, [my best impression of Jon Stewart listening to his ear phone]

    I am told, Nokia is a cheap knock off of Huawei.

    Nokia is dead. The MS Elop virus has killed it.

    Jolla is the actual Nokia.

    Nobody cares about MS Nokia anymore.

    No, because we watched a real innovator get killed by swallowing a poison pill. That is why people bitch and complain.

    Annnnnd this is why I stopped giving a shit about Slashdot right here.

    Oh, a phone manufacturer does something cool, original, and out-of-character for what has become an "Intellectual property" knife fight to the death and scraping every last cent from the customer that they can? Cool... wait, it runs Windows Phone?

    THIS IS A FUCKING TRAVESTY OMG WHINE BITCH COMPLAIN MOAN

    I'm going to go back to other sites now, where the commenters are at least just stupid instead of stupid and pointlessly misanthropic.

    You are incredibly stupid if you think this is why people whine about Nokia.

    You really should go to other sites, with stupid commenters. You seem to fit right in.
