Description

Ergo Vertical Mouse V2 Left and Right Handed:

After designing my first two mice, I had an idea to create an exceptional ergonomic vertical mouse using the Bambu Lab 002 mouse electronics kit. When Bambu Lab announced a mouse design contest featuring my previous designs, I couldn't resist joining the competition. I made a first in class, truly vertical mouse that is ergonomic for the competition. After posting I saw some things that could be improved and listened to the community input as well. After many more prototypes we have arrived at V2!

V2 Enhancements:
The V2 of this mouse brings significant upgrades in ergonomics, printability, functionality, and usability. It builds on the original design to provide an even better user experience and ensures a smoother printing and assembling process. I can't list all the changes here as they are too many, but the most obvious is moving the scroll wheel back for better ergonomics.

Materials Recommendation:
- PLA: Ideal for most parts
- 95A TPU: Perfect for the belts

Design Journey:
This project demanded extensive time and numerous iterations to achieve the optimal design. Designing a vertical mouse for a circuit board originally intended for flat mice presented significant challenges. The journey was incredible, and I'm excited to share the results with you! Here is a photo of some of the iterations done:

Assembly:
Detailed assembly instructions are provided in the attached PDF. While getting all the buttons to function perfectly requires a bit of fine-tuning, the process is straightforward. To help you through the assembly process, check out the video below:

It is a very nice design, but I cannot print it for some reason. It always strings on the same place. I tried 4 times already, the latest one is with a 20mm brim and strong supports and it still doesn't work. Can someone who printed it successfully provide some pointers please? Also the wheels added to the solid right handed profile lack the holes to insert the shaft.

@PrintMint

It looks like you are using your own print profile. You need to make sure you have support in the area circled. I designed in some features to mate with support better.

@Flame84

Replying to @PrintMint :

Yes the first picture is on my 4th attempt when I changed the default tree supports to strong tree supports. The first 3 tries (see second picture) were done with your profile without any changes to the provided profile. The only change was I modified the printer from A1 to X1C.

@PrintMint

Replying to @Flame84 :

Okay good to know. I have made changes to the V2 Mouse model coming out soon so that it will print better including in that area giving the support more area there.

The height is right, but it's a bit too long. I'm pretty tall and have to really stretch to reach the wheel location.

The designer has replied

@PrintMint

Thank you for your feedback! it fits my big hands pretty well, but good to hear from others. I am working on an update that will move the wheel back.

@PrintMint

Replying to @PrintMint :

V2 is out now and it fixes that!

Absolut problemloser Druck mit diesem Modell möglich. kaum fassbares Ergebnis für den ersten Ausdruck auf einem 3D Drucker.

Looks pretty good. Could use some tweaking on some layers.

Hi, your pdf file's wheels has square hole, but your 3D step files doesn't has it. Can you clarify if it need square hole or not? Thanks.

The designer has replied

@PrintMint

Thank you! it seems when I updated the files last it reverted to an older version. I have updated it back to the latest that has the square hole. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Replying to @PrintMint :

seems like they're still missing on the right handed smooth profile. I took the ones from the honeycomb profile. Reprinting them now

Thanks for the updates, btw the pdf file instructions need more details & more pictures so it is easier to comprehend. best to have assembly video. i am puzzle with how the structure can be activated to press those mouse button, it took 2days finally figure it out. it is brilliant design, kudos!!!

The design is fantastic, clever, and creative, and it was easy to assemble. However, some parts broke during assembly and use. It would be great if future versions could make these parts a bit thicker or more robust.
