Logitech rubber coating: 2-year lifespan.
Me: Fine, I'll do it myself!

3D-printed a new shell in soft black TPU (on gray-ish PLA supports) and it fits like a glove. Honestly feels better than the original!

DIY > decay.

Let's see how long this case holds up. I'm betting it's a lot longer than the original rubber, as TPU is a lot sturdier.

Even if it fails, it's a $0.30 print that finishes in less than 4 hours. I'll keep you posted 🥳

@fribbledom TPU is an indestructible super science material so I’m sure it’ll last for eternity.

@jamie

Probably closer to eternity than to the longevity of the original material, yeah 😆

@fribbledom @jamie TPU is so vastly superior to all the garbage rubbery materials used in mass-produced plastic junk. It is indeed a supermaterial. Impervious to solvents, corrosives, oils, UV exposure, heat to 100 °C or so, mechanical damage, ...
@fribbledom @jamie Only thing that might be better here is printing a hard mold in PLA or something and casting silicone. Silicone is so nice for this sort of thing.

@dalias @jamie

I thought about it and might still end up doing a silicon cast.
