First build in progress, if it goes well I’ll consider selling it or making additional ones for sale

I really like hatchbox filament, consistent quality across all color variants
No, no… Phone fits fine. (It’s a Samsung Galaxy S3) The stupid thing doesn’t fit my arm, when I put it on it ends up so far down my arm that it covers my wrist and I can’t move my hand. Unless I take the molded foam-rubber pads out…and then it’ll fit further up my arm and it’s barely okay.
Honestly they made the thing smaller than it should’ve been just so that phones would be the right scale for the screen. The diagonal on the Pip-Boy’s 4:3 ratio screen should probably be at least 50% larger to be real-world scale to the game model…but then phones wouldn’t work with it.
It’d be cool to redesign it from the ground up to be 100% accurate to the in-game model, and accommodate a small bare HDMI-connected 6-7" LCD panel w/touchscreen like you can get off eBay, the guts out of one of those ‘Android TV’ sticks, and a LiPoly battery. Make it a self-contained unit.
A friend asked me to print up a couple of these for Halloween. “No problem” I said, without knowing what I was getting into(LOTS OF PARTS!). I printed all the parts in ColorfabbXT and shipped them off to my friend who did the rest. He was very happy and I was very impressed with the final product, although I wish he sent me better pictures. Anyway, I didn’t realize how much these were in demand. I’m not sure what I would charge to make more because it was pretty time consuming, even with multiple printers, but $100+ for sure if anyone is interested. https://www.3dhubs.com/miami/hubs/mindfull

Two tiny questions:
Which one is the best for an iPhone 6?
Is there an assembly video somewhere?
Thanks for creating this, it looks amazing!

Hey Laura, no worries 
To answer your questions:
- I guess that would be the large one. If you look at the button with the downloadable files in the thread (screenshot attached), the large model mentions iPhone 6
- Hmm, no video, but there’s a tutorial about it on Instructables, which walks you through all the steps: Pip-Boy 3000 Mark IV – Ytec 3D 1
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the response! I am mostly confused over the fact that it says iPhone 6 is the largest download but the dimensions from Apple say the iPhone 6 is 138.1 mm X 67.0 mm X 6.9 mm which lies with the dimensions of the smallest download. I don’t know which one would be better since they are two very different options.
Thanks again!

Indeed, according to the measurements, the smaller size would fit the iPhone 6 perfectly.
@koenbodewes do you know where the difference comes from? Why go for a Large when a small-sized would fit? Thanks
Some people have large wrists and so need the larger size.
Makes sense! Thanks, Alfred 
@Laura_Selby, if interested, I can recommend a Hub that can help you with the print. Let me know!

If anyone is still in the market for one of these and you are in the Salt lake city area i would love to print you one.
I successfully printed one a few weeks ago. It was a fun print. I am all tooled up and ready to go. Setup an order on my Hub

do this have size for the arm??
There are three sizes. They are scaled for the phones more than to fit the arm. I think the intent is to pad it to fit after it is assembled.

very impressive

Bringing this thread back to life. I’ve filled two orders for this recently. It is a fantastic model to print, all of the parts are built for printing and come aligned correctly to the print bed. I offer the prints in whatever base color the customer selects and then print out a plate of white parts, black parts and translucent for the lamps. This makes assembly and finishing easier as there is very little painting to deal with. https://www.3dhubs.com/grand-rapids-mi/hubs/miaviator
What is your cost for 1 shipped to Willis Texas 77378
I’ll have to pull up the last order when I’m back at the office. It’s around $50 + $12.50 shipping for two priority mail boxes. Takes about a week continuous to print at 240 micron ABS.
I want it! Make me one of yours. Will it fit a note3 if not then an iPhone 6.
There is a link in the first post here for the large version which lists the iPhone 6. Just set the hub location to “Wyoming, Michigan” and you’ll see my hub. It doesn’t matter what you select for material or printers. Just let me know what base color you want and post a link to this board so I can adjust the pricing for you. (My hub editing functionality is currently broken so my pricing and lead times are off)

Why are these scaled to 108%? I have a customer that wants a set in PLA and want to know if I can just print the files how they are without any problems with fitment or scaling.
I haven’t printed one myself yet, but I’d say it’s likely intended to improve upon the fit of the original Bethesda one… As an owner of the Pip-Boy Edition, I can tell you literally first hand that it doesn’t fit everybody. 
(And that was scaled down from the in-game device to better fit a smartphone as the screen…so that was part of the problem.)
