So, fun fact that a few 3d printing channels have gone over: Carbon fiber filament is not for ANYTHING you are going to be touching. it sheds the carbon fibers as you touch them and drives them into your skin or sheds them into the air where you can inhale them and they can mess up your lungs. If you clear coat it, its only fine until the coating wears away. To make matters worse, the structural benefits of Carbon-fiber are basically nothing in most cases - in actuality, it tends to make the plastics weaker while adding a little bit of stiffness that makes it seem stronger then it is to a casual user. So for most people, using this is exposing yourself to a health hazard for no reason.

Side note, handling carbon fiber filament without gloves is not a great idea since it embeds micro fibers into your skin. Additionally, if you bothered to sand, prime, and paint the new mouse the it would probably feel a lot nicer & be more durable to hold then just the bare plastic.

This is awesome! Combining several of my interests in a Dawid video. Very surprised your filament needed drying that badly. Also, surprisingly printing on a wobbly table like that generally has very little impact on print quality. Great stuff! Seems like you learned a lot.

[@rubensantos1942]

A tip for future projects, if you cant remove the component because the solder is not melting, try putting some fresh new one on top, it helps removing the old solder

[@mockier]

It was amusing to see you going straight to trying carbon reinforced filament. I tend to use PLA till I get a project how I want it, before switching to something more expensive,harder to print with, or abrasive for the final part/s. That said 3d printers are handy for case modding. I have a Thermaltake from 2007 that I like. I used my 3D printer and fusion 360 to make a new front panel connector bracket/clamp for it. Replaced the USB2 ports with USB3, and the Firewire port with a USB-C port. I'm planning to make some fan shrouds for it too, and RGB light holders.

[@ForsytheGaming]

A tip for desoldering components is actually to *add* low melt (i.e. leaded) solder to it to mix and lower the overall melting point before removal. Companies can't use leaded so the solder they use has a really high melt point, which is what make desoldering a pain. Also your wood burning sized iron tip is the stuff of nightmares 😀

Next time. Since you havre the dual filament addon, try using two different filaments for the supports and the model. PETG for the model and PLA for the supports. They dont bond to each other so they can be removed without a problem.

[@ge2719]

the slicer software should have settings for exactly how much of a gap there is between the tree supports and the surface above them, so it seems your setting is too close, causing them to be bonded too well. set the gap slightly larger, and test it with a smaller print then adjust the size of the gap until it becomes easy to remove.

[@FranklyPeetoons]

Bambu printers are an excellent way to dive into 3D printing. I am not shilling. Also, I've been using vertical mouses for 14 years and I'd never switch back

[@mattBLACKpunk]

Don't listen to all the comments telling you to sand your mouse, chemical smoothing is a much better method. It actually fuses the surface print layers which cause the roughness in the first place, doesn't take ages of some *very* boring work (with sanding it's either that or risking flat spots/dents when you start with something a little more coarse) Keep in mind though for pla acetone doesn't work, but ethyl acetate is a good alternative as it's decently safe and has a high enough vapor pressure to do a vapor bath. If that sounds too complicated you can also just dunk your print into some diluted sodium hydroxide for a few seconds and still get better results than with sanding 🙃

[@xos]

Impressive stuff, Dawid! I really like the MX Vertical too. I get why it hasn't happened, but I'm still a little surprised no one's really gone for developing an official gamer vert mouse yet.

[@TheDeviant88]

I switched to using a vertical mouse for work. Absolutely a great decision, it's just so comfortable to use! Not had any wrist or elbow pain since. I do still use a normal mouse for gaming though and I hate it.

[@NiyaKouya]

Since you have an AMS on the printer, little trick: PLA and PETG don't like to bond, so if you use one for the part and the other for supports they separate REALLY easily. Or get a spool of PVA for supports, it dissolves in water. Oh, and I think gaming with "office" mice isn't that bad. I'm using an MX Ergo (a trackball) and it works fine. Though I have to say that I don't play shooters.

[@rarva-760]

Good video. Just a note, the X1 has a feature that you can use it as a filament dryer. You put the filament inside the printer and then use the feature to dry it out. After it's dry, you can put it in the AMS unit, and assuming you have desiccant int he AMS unit you should be good for the print.

[@rollingtroll]

What I want is that MX vertical, but smaller. It's just too large for me and that's a pity, because I like the idea. I had the same issue with the MX Ergo trackball. Went for an M575 in the end.

[@CoalitionGaming]

Oh nice, got that Bambu Lab sponsorship! And you got their flagship printer. Awesome. I have a Bambu Lab A1 and love it. Just a tip for the printer, alot of people print feet for it and place it on paver stones or bricks, some with a rubber anti-vibration matt, to help keep it stabilized and subsequently improve print quality. Recalibrate it after doing this too. Would be worth looking into!

[@Gutek313]

[@Spurdospaerde692]

[@rwieber79]

If you take on the process again get some low temperature solder and put a little bit on the hard to remove solder joints and then when you use your de-soldering gun it will be much easier to remove all of the solder from the joint. This is a trick we use in electronics repair for temp sensitive components, thin boards and stubborn joints.

[@ge2719]

or look up some videos on desoldering. using a thick gauge metall wire to spread the heat across all the pins, and then puling the part seems to be a very effective method, then the desolder gun helps pull out any solder left in the holes.

[@MichaelKlements]

Awesome project! From the title I thought you had a crack at Bambulab's 3D-printed mouse kit, so it was a pleasant surprise to to see that you used an actual gaming mouse. Carbon Fibre based filament was definitely not a good choice for a mouse, a lot of tests show that most tend to shed microscopic carbon fibres and these get embedded in your skin - pretty inconvenient for a mouse.

[@Smokinjoewhite]

You have a 3d printer now, you can 3d print "helping hands" to hold the wires and PCB's while you solder. It makes life ALOT easier. Yes you can just buy them, but printing them is cheap and fun. It's also a good way to familiarise yourself with your slicer and level up your printing skill.

[@CraZY.pRIME.]

If you didn't already use 60/40 lead solder get some, when de soldering go and resolder the joints first with fresh solder it will help tremendously.

[@allansnelder3292]

I'd recommend using ABS filament feels much nicer in the hand and it has higher temp resistance than PLA so you can also use it for computer parts. Only downside is that ABS get a little stinky and for bigger parts it might start to warp. Oh yeah you can also vapour smooth ABS parts in acetone it becomes well..... smooth :P If you want super easy support removal with PLA use PETG for the support material (and vice versa). Those materials are incompatible with each other and won't stick! ABS and PETG are very compatable so if you want to use them for color prints or multi material prints.

[@fukov3400]

3:56 "jizzing out lines of hot plastic goo" is certainly one way to describe 3D printing.

[@VanguardDragon]

This was a super interesting video! I love seeing practical applications of additive printing. I had another interesting video suggestion for you Dawid: Can you create a setup that would allow you to fry an egg on the heat generated from a PC? I did some research and I think it would be possible but I think that only you could actually try something like this.

[@kegandemand8728]

A cool tip for 3d printing is to use petg as an interface for pla, and vice versa, it should break free a lot easer and you dont have to mess with dedicated support material just make sure to up your flush volumes co you dont get contamination. Alternatively there are also disolvable supports that can help with some of the more difficult prints.

[@KontrolStyle]

In addition to using dry filament, you probably need to re-run calibration if you changed the surface the printer is standing on - it has movement and vibration compensation built in that is defined largely during the calibration. It was probably trying to compensate for movement that stopped being there when you moved it to the floor as well.

[@battoisoutto6657]

If you want to smooth out the shell I suggest reprinting in a material similar to Polysmooth. Once it’s done you just suspend it in a box with some IPA at the bottom and have the fumes smooth it out. Also in your case while using the AMS you may want to consider getting a cheap spool of petg and using that as a support interface material. Reason being is pla can’t bind to petg so the supports just come right off.

Oh and another thing ! You can spray and coat the mouse with Plasti Dip to give it a rubber texture. Watch out for the button joints though. You could also give it a last, distant short psst to get a slightly bumpy grip texture. If you dont like it then you can just peel it off. Do atleast 3 coats though.

[@WyvernDotRed]

These were challenging prints due to the thin walls, but I wonder if a Prusa printer would have had better luck in printing the mouse parts. Next to personally preferring the brand, their machines are more optimised for accurate and reliable printing, over speed. Though the filament dryer definitely made the bigger difference here. For the supports in the battery compartment, perhaps the old-school rectilinear support style would work better? Though I do not know whether these can be combined with organic supports.

Looks like you were using glue on the print bed. Ive never once needed it with my Bambu printers. Just make sure the bed is clean and go, works for me every time.

[@jclosed2516]

In some instances you might use a short spray with stuff like 3DLAC. It also works wonders with print surfaces that are sticking way too hard in combination with certain materials (that is maybe unexpected but very handy). The 3DLAC spray is easy removable with some lukewarm water, so you won't end up with a messy print surface. And a one time short spray is enough for several prints in a row. I bought one can more than a year ago and it's still not empty. You can, of course, use any other brand. This is just the experience I have with this brand.

Welcome to the painful wonderful world that is 3d printing ❤ oh, I wanna try this with clear resin now

[@WyvernDotRed]

Material wise, ABS or PETG would be more suitable than PLA. Especially long-term, as PLA will deform under constant pressure or warmth over about 40°C. But the best option would be a two-part design where the bits you touch are cladded in TPU. Which is a material that sees medial use and is generally very durable. While the porous nature of 3D-prints doesn't apply to that degree, I have had a 3D printed wrist-rest in the stuff last for well over a year now. The food- and skin-safety arguments online are overblown, considering that more porous wooden spoons and nylon watch-bands are fine too.

[@AlexTheStampede]

Tip for 3d printing: the thing on top is for multiple materials. Colors are cool and all, buuuut… PLA and PETG don’t bond, meaning that you can make something with one material, and supports with the other and the removal will be easy peasy.

nice build. though i think it would have been far better design to go with a "gun handle" shaped vertical mouse. The vertical mouse, while you can get used to it, it will pretty much always have the issue of mouse clicks causing the bod of the mouse to move slightly because of the way youre now clicking sideways, and not down into the mouse. which is fine for office work, but for gaming. Personally i think an even better solution is to off load all the buttons to your left hand with something like the azeron controller, which also gives you thumbstick based movement. and then youre just aiming with your right hand, so not pressing the fire button with your right hand prevents any mouse movement when pressing the fire button with your left hand.

Vertical mice reason isn't really to lift arm up some(even though that does help too), its more for the fact if you put arm in way to hold a normal mouse your two bones in lower arm actually twist some allowing the pinching of the median nerve. As its not exactly the "normal" position they are meant to be in. While if you a vertical one, it keeps arm in position that its meant to be allowing the bones to "sit" straight and not ending up "twist-pinch." While at same time usually designed to keep arm straight with hand so you don't have the forms of placement of the wrist that too can lead to Carpal tunnel syndrome. But it's all pointless if your desk (normal or sit/stand) isn't at right level to position arm correctly. But we really do need some nice vertical gaming mice, they're just so much nicer for you over a normal mouse; even if doesn't feel "normal" first few times of using.

Using a soldering gun, wick and flux is better then a desoldering gun. Also, the "giant" soldering tip you used makes soldering much harder for precise work, you need a much smaller tip.

Could dip the housing in silicone or something like that might help grip feel

[@liarus]

You need flux to solder / desoldee stuff, it genuinely makes everything way easier

Truly an awesome video! I also started to suffer from the same issues while gaming and could not find a vertical gaming mouse. I was thinking about researching to do the same as you just did. Until someone pointed out that this mouse exist: Trust Gaming GXT 144 Rexx Vertical Wired Gaming Mouse. It's low cost, but it has a 1000hz polling rate sensor and RGB (can be turned off). Could be something for you. I don't know if it's available in Canada. Downside: it is wired.

Everyone else in the techosphere : here's a thing and what you should think about it. David : here is a thing, and it's cursed by Alma

Fyi, you don't need to worry about the table shaking, it's all accounted for in the calibration process.

Speaking of the Dark Ages!! You all still use Mice you have to pick up and slide around on a mat!! How Barbaric! LOL! Been using a Logi ERGO M575 for Years! Should try it sometime Dawid!

Compare it to a great Canadian product, the Ploopy mouse. And while your are at it, try their Adept trackball. My Corne keyboard has Zeal switches... My portable keyboard is a Corn-ish Zen, another great Canadian product.
