      I don’t think you can currently print a working phone all in one go with 3D printing. There are too many different parts for that. You can print a lot of the parts separately though like a lot of the plastic and metal pieces and maybe even some of the electronics. The screen, battery, processor and other important parts couldn’t be printed now though. It would probably be a lot more expensive to print the parts of a phone which you could currently anyway.
