This phone, launched just yesterday, already has removable back covers in some colors. The company now allows users to 3D print their unique back covers.
Early testers in the tech community have started experimenting with these 3D printing files. No details were given about the screws used to secure the back cover, making it easier for DIY enthusiasts. This lets users personalize their phones and make them truly their own.
The company encourages its online community to share their 3D-printed creations. They might even select and sell some designs. This idea started with a simple forum suggestion for a trading card holder case for the CMF Phone 1. The CEO, Carl Pei, quickly took action, and 3D printing guidelines were approved within hours. This quick decision-making is a hallmark of startups, allowing them to act fast without long bureaucratic processes.
