I needed another corded mouse and this time around I thought of @[email protected] and @[email protected] instead of Logitech’s shareholders. These guys make open source mice among other open source hardware under the brand Ploopy. You can order one from them, assembled or as a kit, or you could print and build it entirely by yourself.

The mouse itself is pretty great. Coming from a long line of Logitech (MX518/G5/G500/G502), it’s a bit larger than what I’m used to but I think I’m getting accustomed to it.

Here’s another shot of it:

    The adult toys community would have some guides. You print the object, cast the mold around it and then fill the void with silicone afaik.

      Is silicone rigid enough? Adult toys have slightly different requirements from many other 3D printed things.
