They don't look 3d printed? i have 4 3d printer . i use FDM and resin printer depending of the part. i’ve put a lot of time to reach this result. when you have one in hand its hard to tell if its injection molded or printed Edited January 4, 2024 by alaindufour

May I ask you how you did the markings? the screen are 5-3/4 inch the marking are 1mm engraved in the plastic and fill with paint. it’s impossible to remove and will never fade out. i’ve done test with sandpaper and i been able to remove it by sanding 1mm of material with a sanding machine so you will never been able to erase it
LT. Warhero Posted January 7, 2024 Posted January 7, 2024 Looking real good alain Really loving your pink mouse Im going back to the drawing board and starting over. My design is about twice as big as it turns out it needs to be and im not happy with the feel of the grip. My sketches in fusion are no longer viable for rolling all the way back, since I learnt fusion by making the grip and learnt along the way that, having everything linked to other dimensions, having your sketches linked to eachother and fixing them as soon as problem arise is quite vital in case you need to roll back to adjust something
LT. Warhero Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 version 2 is coming along at this point and i believe its pretty close to the actual grip. Got some problems with ghosting and some weird warping effect with my high speed pla at this moment. some sanding should take out the most rough edges, but i believe the lettering it a little too small to be able to be properly printed. pretty happy so far compared to my first attempt

Purzel Posted February 19, 2024 Posted February 19, 2024 (edited) Does anyone knows the size of the tactile pushbutton-parts (for e.g. the "SYM"-rockers around the TEDAC monitor) and would be so kind and tell me... I'll print hannibals TEDAC, so I need the infos... wide should be 6x6mm, but I need the height of the push-part of such a button: (Or does anyone have a not-to-expensive shop which sells these button with LEDs, should be located in EU): Edited February 19, 2024 by Purzel
98abaile Posted February 20, 2024 Posted February 20, 2024 I know you want them from within the EU, but those LED buttons are dirt cheap from aliexpress and arrive fairly quickly. 1
SrSosio Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 I bought almost everything for mine from Aliexpress 1
Purzel Posted February 29, 2024 Posted February 29, 2024 Is there a complete list with used buttons/switches/potentiometers, 4-way-switches or analog-joysticks to build into the TEDAC-grips? I don't want to buy the wrong stuff. Thx ! @Assamita: You've got PN
