3D print your own phone – with KiteBoard

04/10/2017 at 08:22

Hi Guys,

I am working on a small SBC called “KiteBoard”. This board is best considered as the heart of a smartphone. It includes 4G/3G/2G, WiFi/BT, 9 axis sensor, 1.2GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, battery charger…

Cool thing about it is that you can build a custom 3D printed phone with it(choose battery, antenna, sensors/electronics). We have a kit that has a 5″ display + touch running off the native MIPI interface. Also an 8 MP camera mnodule with autofocus.

The board natively works at 1.8V. However, we also provide compatibility option for Raspberry Pi HATs & pHATs — so you can include those & roll your own phone. You could even put your own sensors.

Best of all, the boards & components are reasonably compact – so you can design & 3D print your own phone (not just case). The possibilities of this are vast – imagine all the LEDs, buttons & sensors that could go on your own purpose-built phone & 🙂

We have made a few phone designs already… The kit is not limited to make just phones – it is possible to build an various mobile style devices! (see pictures) Best of all – we are excited to announce that we will be getting this to Kickstarter soon..

Excited ? Please have a look at our website : http://www.kiteboard.io/ for more details. Please also subscribe for updates on the site – and we will let you know when we start our Kickstarter campaign.

We are putting together more content. We just put together the intro video which is on the top of the page. Hopefully this gives a better idea of what we are trying to do. Any questions, feel free to ask !
