In a surprising move, Nothing is giving CMF Phone 1 users the chance to design and create their own phone accessories using 3D printers.

Nothing Allows You To Print Your Own CMF Phone 1 Accessories

The company is offering .stl and .stp files for the phone’s replaceable rear cover. This allows for complete customisation. It also enables the creation of entirely new phone functionalities. You can check out the files here.

This approach is certainly unique. It caters to the tech-savvy crowd with access to 3D printers. However, it might not be the most practical solution for everyone. This is due to the additional investment required. However, for those with the means, the possibilities are exciting. Imagine creating a custom camera grip or a built-in card holder. You could even design a lens attachment. The options are limited only by your imagination.

According to Nothing’s community manager, Rob Godwin, the company is looking to tap into the creativity of its user base. They’ve provided detailed documentation and even expressed interest in potentially producing user-designed accessories. The phone itself seems designed with customisation in mind. It uses common M2 screws, making replacements easy to find. Godwin also mentioned some interesting accessory ideas like camera grips and lens attachments. The phone even comes with a few tools to get you started: a combination flat-head screwdriver and SIM removal tool, and a special “accessory point” designed for attaching lanyards, stands, and other add-ons.

Overall, Nothing’s approach is a fresh take on phone accessories, putting the power of design directly in the hands of its users. Whether it becomes a mainstream trend or stays a niche option remains to be seen, but for creative tech enthusiasts, the CMF Phone 1 offers a unique level of customisation.
