Introducing the CMF Phone 1, a smartphone that allows users to easily swap the back cover and add supplementary accessories on their own. Additionally, Nothing has generously released the blueprint of the phone’s back cover for users to download for free. However, the blueprint provided by Nothing is in STL file format, which is used for 3D printing and cannot be customized. Therefore, users who wish to design their own back cover will need to create their own draft from the STL file and convert it into a standard industrial design file format such as STEP or IGES using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Although this process may seem more complicated, Nothing’s initiative to release blueprints like this is a positive step towards empowering users who want to personalize their own device.

TLDR: Nothing’s release of phone back cover blueprints in STL format allows for customization but users will need to convert it to standard industrial design file formats for full customization capabilities.
