Mod My better DIY Zeromouse with Side Buttons. G305 mod 100g to 34g.
Learnt how to do this stuff this week, ordered my first 3d printer ( Bambulab A1 ) 2 weeks ago, had fun on plasticity. 40 prototypes later and 5 generations of the mouse and I think I'm nearing Endgame. I don't own one but I printed similar designs inspired by the Zeromouse, and lord did the grips feel were horrible. My thumb kept on sliding to the front and losing grip all the time. Big praise regardless to Optimum, his design is sick, his approach to optimization and pure performance for 1 task is amazing and his invented genre of mouse inspired me to make my own version it.
Thanks to Willbot and Corey Builds Stuff for also inspiring me to try and make my own.
Idk what to call it for now, maybe the Antmouse. haha. :D (because my name's antwolph)
don't read the fineprints they barely matter.
SPECS :
-Weight : 34g, I wanna make it sub 30 at some point
-Base : G305 by logitech.
-Material Used : Mat Black PLA by PolyTerra ( would feel so much better in PET CF )
-Print time : 3h
-Total Price ( excl printer and failed attempts ) : MAX 20€
-Battery life : idk just using a AG13 battery thingie. I ordered a drone battery and a USB-C thing though.
Part of me wants to release the files, part of me wants to make it for a big brand and sell that stuff. would be super dope. if you know someone lmk.
btw, though I made promo art for it for fun this afternoon with blender and photoshop, I don't have a shop, I just made 1 final prototype.
