R.I.C.E Dev

Dev is a portable electronics and coding lab that snaps onto the back of your phone. It gives you a breadboard and an adjustable power supply, so you can prototype simple circuits wherever you are. The whole lab is detachable, so when you're done tinkering, your phone goes back to being a phone. No bulk unless you want it.

Note:

For this whole collection—and as is usual in my designs—I chose to avoid using support structures, to minimize plastic waste and improve the final look of each part. To achieve that, I split the models into shapes and components that are easy to print without supports.

I also don’t enjoy working with glue, so all the parts are snap-fit, and the screws that come with the phone add an extra layer of safety to the assembly.

Considering the nature of the assembly, it’s important to have a properly calibrated printer. The flow must be well tuned, otherwise the parts won’t fit together as intended. I recommend running a flow calibration before printing—all tolerances are either 0.1 mm or 0.05 mm, so precision matters.

All models were printed on a Prusa Mini and a Bambu P1S, using Plastspaw PLA filament.

This design approach brings its own set of challenges, especially when balancing visual aesthetics with printability. But I think I found a good middle ground and kept everything as clean and functional as possible.
