The ultimate challenge for experienced repair techs
Think you can build your own iPhone?
This took me months, four or five builds, and a few moments where I nearly gave up. Now it’s your turn. Build an iPhone 14 Pro in a 3D-printed housing, then put it on your shop counter or office desk and say, “I built that.”
Files and instructions only. You supply the donor phone, printing, hardware and tools.
For experienced phone repairers with access to 3D printing. This is a difficult, full component transfer.
THE FINISHED BUILDChoose how you want to build.
Start with the V4 files and brief guide for US$32. For US$5 more, follow my instructional build video and detailed illustrated guide, and get help with build questions. Premium is US$37 for one package; you do not need to buy Basic too.

Bring your skills. And your patience.
This is a full housing swap, with disassembly and component transfer. If tiny parts and careful fit checks are your thing, you’re in the right place. iPhone 14 Pro only. Pro Max is untested and needs CAD changes. Other iPhone models and regional variants have not been verified.
Read the instructions before starting. Keep parts organized, use the correct hardware for each location and check the fit as you go. Follow the battery, glass and electrical safety guidance. Keep power isolated during component transfer.
This is an experimental project. Long-term durability and thermal performance are unknown. Watch for unusual heat or malfunction. Stop use and disconnect external power when safe if either occurs.
