    OP, do you know the meaning of “pre-built”?

  2. Fairly sure I saw this on r/3dprinting a while ago. Come on OP, give some credit to the creator.

    I mean, I built my keyboard so I guess the next logical step would be building my own mouse?

    Probably the only way I’m going to find one with a satisfying amount of heft to it. Seriously, it feels like everything on the market is way too light. Feels like I can shatter them under the weight of my hand’s shadow alone.

    That 3D printer was pre-built.

    The components in the mouse are pre-built.

    The tools to put your mouse together were pre-built.

    Even YOU were pre-built.

    Everything. Everything is pre-built.

    Great, now you can swap a precision injection-moulded solid mouse for a rough, layered, flimsy piece of 3D printed junk.

    👍

  6. Why would you buy a MS mouse for that though?

    Disgusting. I can just feel the mouse floatiness

  8. Of course my mouse is pre built. Are other people buying mice from Ikea or something?

    If only it used a powerplay donor, couldn’t ditch my power play as a feature.

    If that mouse is still functional and intact in a month, I’d be amazed.

    3D printing is nice for gimmicks and prototypes, but anything with a service life or anything that needs to sustain a load must never be made with a 3D printer. The material quality is almost nonexistent at best, and that’s assuming you have perfect print settings with good lamination of layers (never happens)

    The things that will break here are the screw threads, mouse buttons, battery clip, and the fancy layered structure in the design.

    Just remember that every time you 3D print a serviceable part, an engineer will have an aneurysm trying to work out what possessed you to do that.
