Hey everyone, I’m working on making my own trackball, and the shell design is kicking my ass because I’m also learning cad on the way.

Does anyone have a 3d scanner they can use to create an approximate model of the MX Ergo mouse so I can study it? Going off photos, I just don’t see the shape.

The one in the photos is meant to be inspired by MX ergo but not a total copy, but the shape feels a bit off still. And I want to learn more to design for manufacturability.

      I think they are posting from mastodon and it does weird things. People should just make an account on Lemmy it makes it easier to follow

        Yeah, seems the other post was sent from mastodon but this one is from their lemmy account on lemm.ee

        It’s neat that it works at all tbh, hopefully in time the integration improves and doesn’t do wierd formatting, that’ll be interesting to have people post and comment by posting in a microblogging format.
