Let's get started we'll do general. And let's save as just call it phone app. The first thing we're going to do is make this cube into our cell phone. So let's just call this cell phone. And we're going to type in the dimensions here on our information panel. So get out your cell phone and something to measure with.

I'm going to use some calipers just because it's in millimeters and start measuring your phone. So I'm gonna measure how tall myself on his right here just talked about and I'm leaving my phone case on because I don't want to have to take my phone case on and off to use this amplifier. So just leave it how you want it. And mind reading about 155. So let's type that in for the why to 155. And there it is.

Let's now measure the width of our phone. You know how wide is it in your hand? And mine is reading I'm getting the buttons and everything on the case. Mine's like a 75 So we'll type in for the X 75. And then how thick is your phone, that's going to be our Z value. So with the case and all mine is, and it's kind of in the middle of one, so I'm going to round up.

So I'm going to say 13. And then just type in 13. And there we have it, we have essentially a rough of your cell phone. And our scale is all out of whack. So let's hit object, apply rotation and scale. We have all of our scale ratios reset to one, and we have our phone.

Let's just smooth this out. So hit a and then we'll hit Ctrl B to bevel and just give it a little bit of bevel. We're not going to actually 3d print this. This is going to be a subtraction piece that we use later. But this is our real size cell phone. We go back into object mode.

Notice we still have our dimensions. And now we're going to build around this So let's bring in a new cube. So shift a cube, and it's gonna be tiny. So going down in our properties, let's do like at least, maybe like 200. There we go. So let's just hide our amp for just a moment.

Let's actually rotate our phone. So I'm going to build mine, I know that my speaker is down here on the bottom, right, so I'm just gonna do a loop cut here, right there. And right there, I can grab that face. And we're just going to extrude in just a little bit. So that's going to be important when we go to build our actual phone amps. So find on your phone where the speaker is placed.

Maybe it's in the middle, maybe it's on the side. I don't know why, but maybe it is. Maybe it's on the top. So maybe it's on the back. So find your speaker port and note where that is because that's going to be very important when you go to build your next model. Hopefully it's my Right here, and we can all kind of build this together.

And if you don't have a cell phone, then just put it right there, you know, just put a speaker's box right there, just to remind yourself visually. And now let's turn this up, right, so I'm going to do rotate on the x axis 90 degrees. And I think that might have been the wrong way. Yep. So are my speaker spinning up. So let's undo that rotate around the X in negative 90.

Now we have something and let's bring that up with G and z. So I wanted to kind of float a little higher. And I want the cell phone to kind of sit kind of rock backwards, we can do rotate, and then type x and then do negative 20. That way, it just kind of sits back like that. That looks good. That's the way I want mine to stand.

You could do your sideways you could do it standing up, whichever you prefer. So I'm going to turn the app back on now. We're getting somewhere now. Got this phone sitting up here. So let's grab our amp, and then hit scale, kind of just play with the size. Even do something like that.

Maybe go to the side grab on the why, maybe want to come out the middle, maybe the back. I'm gonna do it kind of balanced here. So I'm gonna grab on the why. And I want the sound to kind of bounce out. So let's go into wireframe and just really see how far this is going in. So it's not going in there very far.

So let's grab our box, go G and Z. It's kind of nested in there. Then we'll grab the cube our amp and move it on the y axis. Just try to get it let's go into solid mode and just move that cube around your amp until you think you have it where you want it placed. I'm gonna do something like that. And that's pretty good, but our scales all out of whack.

So let's do object. Apply rotation and scale.
