Kinda sucks because I am legitimately interested in a gold HTC phone.
This creates an interesting question.
How much cheaper than the base price would it have to be for you to willingly carry around a Trump branded phone that's so immediately recognizable that everyone you meet will know what you're using?
You'd have to pay me to carry a Trump-branded phone. Like, pay me a lot. And it would have to be a recurring monthly fee.
I'd like to say I'd stick to my principles here, but cases cost $10. Worst case I'm in a red state, wouldn't be proud of it, but a bit of maga camo would make my life easier.
What if you bought an HTC phone and printed a case with Gold TPU?
*cries in Bowden tube*
You can do it. I designed and printed my phone case in TPU on an Ender 3.
It even used two materials. PLA for the hard outer face, and TPU from there up giving a soft interface and bumper edge.
TPU does generally suck on a Bowden machine. Stringing galore!
I just now realized I could do this easily with my U1. It might be time for me to make a phone case 2.0
I printed mine with (4) 15×2mm magnets embedded which allowed me to easily attach it to a variety of desk and auto mounts.
I did this about 2 weeks before the iPhone started doing that, so I felt special for about that long. But it was extremely handy.
Embedded?! Like inside, under a layer? Or tucked in a divot?
