Description

This is obviously inspired by Optimum Tech's Zeromouse and Zeromouse Blade, but using FDM and a more affordable donor mouse.

 

The thumb and finger rests are in a reasonable spot for me, and the buttons are lined up well.  The shell requires A LOT of bending and finagling of the button paddles to get the donor PCB installed.

 

The model is parametric, but it needs cleaning up.  I want to make it easy to adjust the offsets of the finger grabbies, but it is too messy for that so far.  I will post the OpenSCAD after I get it cleaned up.

 

My setup printed in PLA comes in at 16.43 grams with the VXE Mad R electronics.  

 

The button flapper paddles have less spring tension when printed with one perimeter instead of two, and the length of the plunger has been adjusted to make up for this.  I am using lightning infill, and I had to lower the “minimum sparse infill threshold” in Orcaslicer to 1 cubic mm to make sure the button arms would be hollow.  The width and thickness of the arms is dialed in for the springiness of PLA.

 

I do not have a Mad R Major to test, but it looks like it should fit just fine.
