Over the past couple of weeks, we have started seeing various mockups of the iPhone 6. These mockups are supposedly based on leaked schematics that we saw a while ago, although there’s no way of proving if the schematic is the real deal in the first place. That being said, the result has been a flood of mockup devices, and the good news for some is that if you wanted to print your own mockup, you will be able to do so.

Yesterday, designer Martin Hajek started selling a $25 set of 3D files that allow you to print your own 4.7-inch iPhone 6 mockup using a 3D printer. Today, a second set of 3D plans for both the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch version of the iPhone 6 were released byMacRumors forum user Arthur Tilly and made available for free on Thingiverse.  Using measurements available from leaked design drawings, the plans allow anyone with access to a 3D printer to print out the alleged iPhone 6 design and see how it feels in their hand. The set includes an .STL file for 3D printing and an editable OpenSCad file that can be used to modify the design and add some of the missing details like the Apple logo.
