Description

A mouse that can be easily printed as a single part, the orientations are chosen for smooth curves and surfaces for any visible part. The electronics are simply plugged in and held by latches, the lid can be opened and closed to change the battery or throw the USB dongle in ;). This model consumes just 70g PLA with the preset values. No screws or supports are needed. 

Before the part is ready for use, its very important to remove the support on the bottom, otherwise the lid will break off.

 

Pay attention to the pictures:

 

            .    

Grasp the lid close to the axle and break the movement free while gently move forward and backward, this should not require much force but can take a minute. It has to be very tight to give it hold while printing and also to maintain the position later when you use it, so be aware to calibrate your filament well. Let me know if you encounter issues.
After the lid moves, you are fine to fit the electronics and the battery, glue the gliders on the underside so that the mouse rests well and you are done :)

 

No additional support is required. If you were using a bedslinger, position the mouse horizontally to the bed movement and activate tree-support (only from the bed) to prevent vibrations. You can add brim on the model to improve bed-adhesion and prevent warping (which has not happen to me).
  

Update:
V3 is now a bit less tight, im not sure about if thats really something good :D
But also the 4.Button and the Mouse wheel are also fixed, now it should work fine while depending a bit on your filament choice.
V4 has now an integrated simple detent that should hold the lid in position better.

Really neat design! Printed in PETG (despite you saying that's it's unsuitable) and I think it came out quite decently, though the support underneath the hinge was a real pain to remove. The slipperiness of the PETG means it slides quite nicely without gliders. Mine doesn't hold shut, not sure if that's just a side-effect of printing PETG or not, but if not it'd be nice if it clipped solidly shut.

Hi thanks for your feedback, for me the petg was just too flexible and the buttons were far too easy to press. But maybe your PETG is a bit stiffer, which one did you use? The thing about staying in position was better when the distance between the parts where smaller, I wanted to avoid people complaining that the distance was too small, but as you can see from the 1 star rating, that wasn't enough ^^ But I'll take it to heart and add something so that you can fix the lid, I think it should be ready tomorrow evening/night :)

broke the little nose that keeps the back of the PCB in place (where the power connects) but it still works great printed in greeny+ PLA (white)

Great idea! I have one remedial question for you though. How did you color the two halves differently without more than doubling the print time?

Thank you! The printing time refers to a one-colour version, but it can also be painted as the lid can be easily masked :) Printed in two colours it takes about 7 hours

ok, that was what I was finding. if I painted about 75% of the lid, it would still be around 3 hours since there would only be one color change.

Prints perfectly, I just wanted to see how it fits, it does need a bit of work but its a good variation which we've not seen yet
