Old version in the back, new version in the front. Fresh off the printing bed. Haven’t tested it yet, but pretty happy on first inspection. Have a few sneaky features. Aiming to release it in a month or so to the community. Using it as an excuse to try out Lemmy :-)
that is pretty slick looking, what are you using the second trackball for?
edit: should have read first 🤦♂️
That actually sounds super useful for 3d design. You can get 3d mice that are meant to have enough axes to get full control (can’t actually remember how), but with two trackballs you could have rotation on one and translation on the other. You’d be missing one axis of each, but you only really have two axes for each when you use a normal mouse. And all without moving your hands from the home-row, if it’s positioned well for it. I kinda want that now…
This is awesome. Great work! The track balls give me of Flight of the Navigator vibes.
Dang that looks crazy. With carpal tunnel I was considering building one. This is great inspiration !
Dumb question probably, but is there a second half for the left hand?
Yes, there’s another version without a trackball. Both are designed as right side halves, and the user mirrors it in the slicer software to get the left side. This way, the trackball can be on the left side if they want, or they can have a trackball on each side, or no trackball at all. Options!
Super slick. Love it.
