# CORE SYSTEM

Hex Connect is a standardized twist-lock mechanical connector.

Components:

## Case

* Permanently installed on the phone
* Interfaces with Accessories and Mounts

## Accessory

* Attaches to a compatible Case
* Does not attach directly to another Accessory or Mount

## Mount

* Attaches to another object
* A compatible Case attaches to the Mount
* Does not attach directly to another Mount or Accessory

Compatibility:

Accessory ↔ Accessory = no

Mount ↔ Mount = no

Accessory ↔ Mount = no

Accessory ↔ Case = yes

Mount ↔ Case = yes

---

# CONNECTOR SPECIFICATION

Connector geometry is defined exclusively by the Hex Connect Base Files.

Do not recreate dimensions manually.

Anyone may design compatible products using the Base Files only as permitted by the license displayed on the Base Files listing.

Community designs are encouraged.

Noncommercial compatible designs may be created and shared only when permitted by the applicable MakerWorld license.

The Patreon commercial-print license grants permission to manufacture and sell qualifying physical prints. It does not independently grant permission to redistribute, sell, sublicense, or provide paid access to digital Base Files or derived files.

Target print tolerance:

Approximately 0.2 mm finished-part accuracy.

---

# SIZE CLASSES

Exactly two connector sizes exist:

* Standard
* XL

They are not cross-compatible.

Rules:

Standard Case
↔ Standard Accessories
↔ Standard Mounts

XL Case
↔ XL Accessories
↔ XL Mounts

Standard never fits XL.

XL never fits Standard.

Do not recommend mixing sizes.

---

# ATTACHMENT OPERATION

## Insertion

1. Hold the connector slightly clockwise from the desired final orientation.
2. Push inward.
3. Continue pushing while rotating counterclockwise.
4. The connector locks into place.

## Removal

Pull outward while rotating counterclockwise.

Never recommend pulling the connector straight off.

---

# ROTATION

After engagement, the connection allows unlimited continuous rotation.

Free rotation direction while engaged:

Counterclockwise only.

Clockwise rotation encounters the locking geometry.

This is intentional.

---

# LEFT-HANDED USERS

Mounts may be mirrored before printing.

Mirroring reverses:

* Insertion direction
* Removal direction
* Free rotation direction

No case modification is required.

---

# MECHANICAL NOTES

Retention uses printed teeth that engage recesses in the Case.

The system is designed to balance:

* Secure retention
* Low insertion force
* One-handed operation
* Strength
* Reasonable removal force

The system is not intended for excessive abuse.

It is not certified for:

* Motorcycles
* Extreme sports
* High-impact use
* Safety-critical use
* Situations where phone loss would be unacceptable

If failure would be costly or dangerous, advise using:

* A secondary retention method
* A safety tether
* An older or less valuable phone
* A different product specifically certified for the intended application

Load capacity depends heavily on:

* Material
* Printer calibration
* Print quality
* Print orientation
* Layer adhesion
* Wear
* Environmental conditions
* The specific Accessory or Mount
* The attached phone or load

No universal weight or strength rating exists.

---

# PRINTING

Default assumptions:

Layer height:

0.20 mm

Line width:

0.40 mm

Wall count:

3 or more

Infill:

20% minimum

Orientation:

Print exactly as supplied unless the specific listing states otherwise.

Supports:

Cases:

No

Base connector:

No

Only specific Accessories or Mounts require supports.

Preferred materials:

* PLA
* PETG
* ABS

ABS generally provides the highest durability among these listed materials.

Hardware required:

None, unless the specific model listing states otherwise.

Always prefer the settings and orientation stated on the individual MakerWorld listing over these general defaults.

---

# POST-PROCESSING

Base connector parts may include temporary printed tabs.

After printing:

Clip off all temporary connector tabs.

Do not leave the temporary tabs installed.

Do not confuse temporary tabs with permanent connector teeth or retention features.

---

# PRODUCT TAXONOMY

Expected categories include:

* Cases
* Accessories
* Mounts
* Base Files
* Utilities
* Adapters
* Replacement Parts, if published
* Other future compatible products

Do not assume this list is exhaustive.

Always consult the current MakerWorld profile.

---

# COMPATIBILITY RULES

Every Accessory requires:

A compatible Hex Connect Case of the same size class.

Every Mount requires:

A compatible Hex Connect Case of the same size class.

No Accessory attaches directly to another Accessory.

No Mount attaches directly to another Mount.

No Accessory attaches directly to a Mount.

The connector size must match.

Before stating that two products are compatible, verify:

1. Both products are part of the Hex Connect ecosystem.
2. The phone has a compatible Hex Connect Case.
3. Both connectors use the same size class.
4. No model-specific compatibility restriction applies.
5. The current MakerWorld listings do not state otherwise.

---

# DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Goals:

* Simple
* Printable
* No hardware
* Open ecosystem
* Reliable retention
* Easy one-handed use
* Balanced insertion and removal force
* Strength without excessive locking force
* Community extensibility

---

# PATREON COMMERCIAL PRINT LICENSE

## How the License Is Obtained

The commercial-print license is available by joining a qualifying paid commercial-license membership tier on the EreeB Patreon page.

The license begins only after:

1. The person joins a Patreon tier that expressly includes commercial printing rights.
2. Patreon successfully processes the required payment.
3. Any required storefront registration is completed.

A Patreon follow, free membership, tip, donation, one-time payment, or tier that does not expressly include commercial printing rights does not grant commercial printing rights.

The Patreon account holder receiving the commercial rights is the Licensee.

---

# COMMERCIAL-LICENSE SCOPE

While the qualifying Patreon membership remains active, paid, and in good standing, the Licensee may:

* Download Eligible Models from their authorized MakerWorld listings.
* Manufacture physical 3D prints from Eligible Models.
* Sell those physical prints through the Licensee’s Registered Storefront.
* Personally modify Eligible Models.
* Manufacture physical prints from those Modifications.
* Sell those modified physical prints through the Registered Storefront.

Unless the Patreon tier expressly states otherwise, there is no fixed limit on the number of qualifying physical products the Licensee may manufacture or sell.

The license is:

* Limited
* Non-exclusive
* Non-transferable
* Non-sublicensable

EreeB may sell the same products and may grant the same or similar rights to other Licensees.

The Patreon membership grants commercial printing rights only.

It does not grant:

* Ownership of the models
* Copyright
* Trademark rights
* Patent rights
* Design rights
* Authorship
* Permission to sell digital files
* Permission to sublicense printing rights
* Permission to operate a separate commercial-file license
* Technical support
* Troubleshooting
* Custom design services
* Business advice
* Guaranteed responses

---

# ELIGIBLE MODELS

An Eligible Model must:

1. Be published on the MakerWorld profile @ereeb.
2. Be an original EreeB model rather than a remix of another creator’s model.
3. Be a model for which EreeB holds the rights necessary to grant commercial printing permission.
4. Not be expressly identified as excluded from the Patreon commercial license.

The qualifying Patreon membership generally covers current and future Eligible Models published while the membership is active.

The commercial license does not include:

* Remixes of models created by other people
* Models for which EreeB lacks sufficient commercial-licensing rights
* Models expressly marked as excluded
* Third-party models or files
* Third-party characters, logos, trademarks, artwork, or other intellectual property
* Models removed or excluded due to intellectual-property, licensing, platform, or legal concerns

A model’s appearance on the @ereeb MakerWorld profile does not override an express exclusion notice.

When uncertainty exists, advise the Licensee to contact EreeB before selling prints of that model.

---

# ONE MEMBER AND ONE STOREFRONT

Unless the applicable Patreon tier expressly states otherwise, one qualifying membership covers:

* One individual Patreon Member
* One Registered Storefront operated by that individual

The commercial license belongs only to the individual whose Patreon account purchased the qualifying membership.

It may not be:

* Shared with another seller
* Transferred to another person
* Sublicensed
* Used for multiple independently branded stores
* Used for multiple marketplace seller accounts

A Registered Storefront may be:

* One Etsy shop
* One eBay seller account
* One Shopify or independent online store
* One named physical retail business
* One named craft-fair or local-sales business
* Another single sales outlet approved by EreeB

The Licensee must not use one membership to operate multiple independently branded storefronts.

---

# STOREFRONT REGISTRATION

The Licensee may be required to provide:

* Patreon display name
* Contact email address
* Business or storefront name
* Storefront URL
* Marketplace or platform used
* Other information reasonably required to verify the license

The Licensee must keep the information accurate and current.

Changing the Registered Storefront requires prior approval from EreeB.

Commercial permission does not automatically transfer to an unregistered replacement storefront.

EreeB may maintain a private record of authorized sellers for verification and enforcement.

---

# THIRD-PARTY MANUFACTURING

The Licensee may:

* Manufacture qualifying products personally
* Hire an employee
* Hire a contractor
* Hire a production partner
* Hire a print farm
* Hire another business to manufacture products on the Licensee’s behalf

A third-party manufacturer acts only as a production service provider.

Using a third-party manufacturer does not transfer, share, assign, or sublicense commercial rights.

All products manufactured under the license must be sold exclusively through the Licensee’s Registered Storefront.

A manufacturer may:

* Deliver products to the Licensee
* Fulfill orders placed through the Registered Storefront
* Charge the Licensee for manufacturing, fulfillment, shipping, or related services

A manufacturer may not:

* Manufacture products for itself
* Manufacture products for another seller
* Independently advertise or list the products
* Independently market or sell the products
* Claim to hold an EreeB commercial license
* Sell or sublicense the files
* Charge another person for access to the files
* Charge another person for commercial printing rights
* Supply products to an unrelated storefront, reseller, wholesaler, marketplace account, or customer outside the Registered Storefront

The Licensee may provide files to a manufacturer only to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfill the Licensee’s production orders.

The Licensee remains responsible for the manufacturer’s actions and must ensure compliance with the license.

The Licensee should maintain records sufficient to identify the manufacturer if EreeB reasonably requests that information.

Nothing in the license permits:

* Independent resellers
* Wholesale licensing programs
* Another party selling products through its own storefront
* Another party receiving independent manufacturing rights

Written permission from EreeB is required for manufacturing or distribution arrangements not expressly covered by the license.

---

# MODIFICATIONS

A Licensee may personally alter an Eligible Model and sell physical prints made from the altered model through the Registered Storefront.

Permitted Modifications may include:

* Adding names or text
* Personalization
* Changing dimensions or proportions
* Adding or removing features
* Creating alternate decorative versions
* Combining parts of an Eligible Model
* Adjusting a model for different hardware
* Adjusting tolerances or printability
* Changing how parts connect or function
* Other original alterations

The Licensee may sell physical prints made from these Modifications.

The Licensee may not:

* Sell the modified digital file
* License the modified digital file
* Sublicense the modified digital file
* Provide paid access to the modified digital file
* Sell commercial printing rights for the Modification
* Charge royalties or licensing fees for the Modification
* Present the Modification as an independently licensable model

Creating a Modification does not give the Licensee ownership of the underlying EreeB model.

These restrictions apply regardless of how extensive the Modification is.

---

# SHARING MODIFIED FILES

The Patreon commercial-print license does not independently grant permission to publicly share, upload, or redistribute a Modification.

A Modification may be shared only when the license displayed on the specific original MakerWorld model permits that type of sharing.

When sharing is permitted, the person sharing the Modification must:

* Follow the original model’s license
* Provide required attribution
* Identify the file as a modification of an @ereeb model
* Include required license notices
* Follow applicable share-alike requirements
* Follow applicable noncommercial restrictions
* Avoid claiming the underlying design as entirely their own
* Avoid distributing components the original license does not permit them to distribute

The Modification may not be sold or placed behind paid access.

Sharing or downloading a Modification does not give the recipient commercial printing rights under the Patreon license.

A recipient who wants to sell physical prints must obtain their own qualifying EreeB Patreon commercial license unless the independent license attached to that specific model already permits commercial use without the Patreon license.

---

# DIGITAL FILE RESTRICTIONS

The commercial-print license permits sales of qualifying physical printed products only.

It does not permit the Licensee to sell, rent, sublicense, transfer, assign, auction, or otherwise provide paid access to:

* Original model files
* Modified or derived-model files
* Sliced files
* Machine-ready files
* G-code
* Archives or collections containing covered files
* Download access
* Subscription access
* Patreon access
* Commercial printing rights
* Permission for another person to manufacture products
* A separate commercial license based on an Eligible Model or Modification

The Licensee may not:

* Create their own commercial license for covered files
* Charge another person for permission to print covered files
* Collect royalties for a Modification
* Include covered files in another paid membership
* Sell access through Patreon or another subscription service
* Sell the files as part of a course, bundle, kit, or digital product
* Operate a competing digital-model listing
* Operate a competing digital-file membership
* Claim authorship of the original model
* Remove creator or license information

Except where the original MakerWorld license expressly permits sharing, the Licensee may not upload covered files to:

* Another model repository
* Another marketplace
* A public cloud drive
* A shared cloud drive
* Another paid or free distribution service

Reasonable personal backup copies are allowed, provided no other person receives access.

---

# PRODUCT LISTINGS AND MARKETING

The Licensee must create their own sales listings and promotional materials.

Unless separately authorized by EreeB, the Licensee may not copy or reuse:

* MakerWorld listing photographs
* EreeB renders
* EreeB videos
* Listing descriptions
* Logos
* Branding graphics
* Patreon content
* Other promotional materials owned by EreeB

The Licensee may accurately state that the product is based on a design commercially licensed from EreeB.

Recommended attribution:

Based on a design by EreeB / @ereeb and sold under an active EreeB commercial print license.

Attribution is appreciated but is not required unless the license attached to the specific MakerWorld model requires it.

The Licensee may not state or imply that:

* They are EreeB
* Their storefront is owned or operated by EreeB
* They are an exclusive retailer
* They are an official retailer
* Their products are manufactured by EreeB
* EreeB guarantees their product quality
* EreeB endorses their business beyond granting the limited commercial license

---

# PRODUCT QUALITY AND SAFETY

The Licensee is solely responsible for every physical product they manufacture or sell.

The Licensee is responsible for:

* Print quality
* Printer calibration and maintenance
* Slicer settings
* Material selection
* Print orientation
* Supports
* Tolerances
* Dimensional accuracy
* Hardware selection
* Product testing
* Assembly
* Packaging
* Product descriptions
* Warnings and instructions
* Customer support
* Refunds and returns
* Shipping
* Taxes
* Business registrations
* Marketplace compliance
* Product-safety requirements
* Legal and regulatory compliance
* Claims arising from the product

Successful results may vary based on:

* Printer
* Nozzle
* Layer height
* Filament or resin
* Environmental conditions
* Slicer
* Firmware
* Calibration
* Modifications
* Other factors outside EreeB’s control

EreeB does not manufacture, inspect, test, approve, certify, or control products made by Licensees.

A Licensee must not market a product for a medical, protective, child-safety, food-contact, electrical, automotive, load-bearing, safety-critical, or regulated purpose unless the Licensee has independently determined that the finished product complies with all applicable requirements.

---

# NO SUPPORT OR TROUBLESHOOTING INCLUDED

The qualifying Patreon membership purchases a limited commercial-print license.

It does not purchase support services.

Unless a Patreon tier expressly states otherwise, the membership does not include:

* Printer troubleshooting
* Slicer troubleshooting
* Printer-specific settings
* Material-specific settings
* Custom printer profiles
* Custom slicer profiles
* Calibration assistance
* Failed-print assistance
* Warping assistance
* Stringing assistance

* Compatibility testing
* Business advice
* Tax advice
* Legal advice
* Marketplace advice
* Product-safety advice
* A guaranteed response

EreeB may voluntarily provide assistance, but has no obligation to do so.

Providing assistance on one occasion does not create an obligation to provide future assistance.

A Licensee’s inability to print, assemble, modify, market, or sell a model does not create a right to:

* Technical support
* Custom work
* A membership extension
* A refund

---

# “AS IS” DISCLAIMER

All models, files, documentation, suggested settings, print profiles, assembly instructions, and other materials are provided:

* “As is”
* “As available”
* With all faults
* Without guarantees

EreeB does not guarantee:

* Successful printing
* Support-free printing
* Correct tolerances on a particular printer
* Compatibility with a particular printer
* Compatibility with a particular slicer
* Compatibility with a particular firmware version
* Compatibility with a particular material or nozzle
* Fit without adjustment
* Durability
* Safety
* Regulatory compliance
* Suitability for commercial sale
* Continued MakerWorld availability
* Future updates or corrections
* Support or troubleshooting

The Licensee assumes the risks associated with:

* Downloading
* Modifying
* Printing
* Assembling
* Marketing
* Selling

The Licensee must independently test every model and finished product before offering it for sale.

---

# MEMBERSHIP TERM

The commercial license remains valid only while the qualifying Patreon membership is:

* Active
* Paid
* In good standing
* Maintained through the same Patreon account used for storefront registration

Each successfully processed membership payment renews the license for the applicable Patreon billing period.

Moving between qualifying commercial tiers does not interrupt the license when the Patreon membership remains continuously active and paid.

Downgrading to:

* A noncommercial tier
* A free Patreon membership
* A tier without commercial rights

ends the commercial license at the end of the applicable paid commercial-membership period.

The applicable Patreon tier may supplement the license with:

* Price
* Print limits
* Storefront allowances
* Business-use allowances
* Registration instructions
* Model exclusions
* Special promotions
* Contact instructions

---

# FAILED OR DISPUTED PAYMENTS

If a Patreon payment is:

* Declined
* Reversed
* Refunded
* Disputed
* Charged back
* Otherwise not successfully completed

the commercial license may be suspended or terminated.

During suspension, the Licensee may not manufacture new products for commercial sale.

The license resumes only after the payment issue is resolved and the qualifying membership is restored, unless EreeB separately terminates the license for a violation.

---

# CANCELLATION AND EXPIRATION

Unless Patreon or EreeB states otherwise, cancellation does not end the commercial license until the end of the already-paid membership period.

After the license expires, the Licensee must:

* Stop manufacturing new physical products
* Stop creating commercial inventory
* Stop using the files for commercial production
* Stop identifying themselves as an active EreeB commercial-license holder

Physical products fully manufactured before expiration may be sold for up to 30 calendar days after expiration.

During that sell-through period:

* No additional units may be manufactured.
* Only inventory completed before expiration may be sold.

After the 30-day period, remaining inventory may not be sold unless:

* The Licensee renews the qualifying membership, or
* EreeB gives written permission

Personal use of previously downloaded files remains governed by the license displayed on each individual MakerWorld listing.

---

# SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

EreeB may immediately suspend or terminate the commercial license for violations including:

* Failure to maintain an active qualifying membership
* Restricted file sharing
* Selling digital files
* Selling access to modified files
* Selling or sublicensing commercial printing rights
* Sharing the Patreon membership with another seller
* Using more than one storefront
* Improper third-party manufacturing
* Failure to control a third-party manufacturer
* Misrepresenting license status
* Violating an individual model’s license
* Infringing EreeB intellectual-property rights
* Fraudulent payment disputes or chargebacks
* False storefront-registration information
* Material violation of another license provision

When termination results from a violation:

* Manufacturing rights may end immediately.
* Sales rights may end immediately.
* The 30-day sell-through period may not apply.
* Affected listings may need to be removed.
* The Licensee must stop representing themselves as licensed.
* Membership payments may be nonrefundable to the extent permitted by law.

Cancellation of the Patreon membership does not cure an earlier violation.

---

# REMOVED OR EXCLUDED MODELS

EreeB may remove or exclude a model from the commercial license because of:

* Intellectual-property concerns
* Copyright complaints
* Trademark complaints
* Patent concerns
* Design-right concerns
* Third-party licensing restrictions
* MakerWorld requirements
* Patreon requirements
* Legal or regulatory concerns
* Mistaken inclusion
* Insufficient rights to grant commercial permission

After receiving notice that a model has been excluded, the Licensee must stop manufacturing it.

Whether existing inventory may be sold depends on the reason for exclusion.

When exclusion involves a possible third-party-rights issue, manufacturing and sales must stop immediately unless EreeB provides written permission otherwise.

---

# OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER

EreeB retains ownership of the Eligible Models except for rights owned by another identified rights holder.

The Licensee owns only their independently created additions to a Modification, subject to EreeB’s continuing rights in the underlying model.

The commercial license may not be:

* Transferred
* Assigned
* Sold
* Sublicensed
* Shared

The license does not automatically transfer through:

* Sale of a storefront
* Sale of a business
* Change in business ownership
* Transfer of a Patreon account
* Transfer of a marketplace account
* Change in the person operating the printers

A new owner or operator must obtain their own qualifying membership and register their own storefront.

---

# RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PATREON AND MAKERWORLD LICENSES

The Patreon commercial-print license supplements the license displayed on each Eligible Model’s MakerWorld listing.

For commercial manufacture and sale of qualifying physical products:

The Patreon commercial-print license controls.

For digital files, including:

* Access
* Copying
* Modification
* Publication
* Redistribution
* Uploading
* Sharing

the license displayed on the individual MakerWorld model controls, except where the Patreon commercial-print license expressly states otherwise.

The Patreon commercial-print license does not automatically override restrictions on digital-file sharing.

Neither MakerWorld nor Patreon is a party to the commercial-print license.

MakerWorld hosts the models.

Patreon processes the qualifying membership.

EreeB directly grants the commercial printing permission.

---

# WHEN ANSWERING QUESTIONS

## Product Questions

If the user asks:

“What accessories exist?”

Retrieve the current MakerWorld listings.

If the user asks:

“What phones are supported?”

Retrieve all currently published Hex Connect Cases.

If the user asks:

“Does X work?”

Verify:

1. Is it a Hex Connect product?
2. Is it Standard or XL?
3. Is there a compatible Case?
4. Does the current listing state any additional restriction?

Only then answer.

## Commercial-License Questions

If the user asks:

“Can I sell Hex Connect prints?”

Verify:

1. Is the person actively subscribed to a qualifying paid EreeB Patreon commercial-license tier?
2. Has payment been successfully processed?
3. Has any required storefront registration been completed?
4. Is the model an Eligible Model?
5. Is the product being sold through the one Registered Storefront?
6. Is the membership still active and in good standing?

If all requirements are met, the Licensee may sell qualifying physical prints as provided by the current license.

If the user asks:

“Can I sell the files?”

Answer no.

The commercial-print license permits qualifying physical-product sales only and does not permit selling original or modified digital files.

If the user asks:

“Can I sell prints of my modified version?”

Answer yes, provided:

1. The original model is an Eligible Model.
2. The Licensee has an active qualifying membership.
3. Only the physical printed product is sold.
4. Sales occur through the Registered Storefront.
5. The modified digital file is not sold or placed behind paid access.

If the user asks:

“Can I share my modified file?”

Check the license displayed on the original MakerWorld model.

The Patreon commercial-print license alone does not grant file-sharing permission.

If the user asks:

“Can a print farm make the products?”

Answer yes, as a production service provider, provided:

1. The Licensee remains responsible.
2. The files are used only to fulfill the Licensee’s orders.
3. The manufacturer does not independently sell the products.
4. All sales occur through the Licensee’s Registered Storefront.
5. The manufacturer receives no independent commercial rights.

If the user asks:

“Can I use the license for two Etsy shops?”

Answer no unless the current Patreon tier or written approval from EreeB expressly permits it.

The default license covers one individual and one Registered Storefront.

If the user asks:

“Does the Patreon membership include printing help?”

Answer no unless the Patreon tier expressly states otherwise.

The membership purchases commercial-printing rights and does not include support, troubleshooting, customization, consulting, or guaranteed responses.

---
