3D printing - Other Halves - Other Halves Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

I would really like Jolla to release the .VRML or .STL file for the standard other half. I wonder if any of the luck 450 owners have access to a scanner to generate a .PLY file of their other half......?

JollaTides

Not me personally, but I would also love to hear from someone if they have plans.

I know Jolla said that they plan to release a developer kit for the 'other half' to enable people to co-create... sounds interesting, although I'm not sure when they plan to do this (at least some time in 2014?). :-)

Grimtech

If I could have the files, I have access to get the basic other half 3D printed, I want to get my own colors made with my own name printed into it :)

I definitely have no skills with regards the NFC or I2C bus though :(

blitzschlag

you could try to aks Jolla directly for the Information. After all they probably should be interested in ppl offering other halfes.

@blitzschlag

They definitely said they were working on a dev tool kit for the other half so hopefully once all the pre-orders have been shipped and kinks ironed out in Sailfish they'll start being able to realise this goal. :-)

@Grimtech

I suppose like @blitzschlag says it wouldn't hurt to contact them in the meantime - who knows, you may get lucky, although I suspect they will release this information en masse when they're ready. ;-)

I find it a little strange that the Other Halve designs and specs aren't out yet. What could be keeping them?

After all, the phones are already out there.

@KnuX

I guess they've been pretty busy with the launch and now trying to fulfil at least 20,000 pre-orders this month. Then they're also tweaking Sailfish... that's ongoing of course.

After all they're only small with a big jump in workload right now so I think we can expect more details coming through (re: TOH) in early 2014 after things settle down a bit and the focus can shift to TOH.

I guess the hardware guys might have some spare time after the deliveries start. For the software guys ... not really.

@andrebechet

Very true! Let's hope they don't go on early vacation! ;-P

andreibechet

Their "baby" just left home for collage :p

JollaTides

You're right - I think it's going to be a long December for Jolla (in a good way)! ;-P

Can someone please take the SolidWorks model and create an STL file? I would really like to print some other halves on my printer.

Btw. as electronic engineer I would really like to test out the I2C connection.

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but in case anyone is still interested I set up a page for buying 3D printed TOHs in various colours from Shapeways:

The ones I've printed for myself work really nicely (there's photos and such on the page).

Howdy, Stranger!
