I recently released a dimensionally accurate 3D copy of the Apple ADB Mouse G5431 shell; with this mouse being a classic design, my intention is make sure people could print replacement parts or an entire shell. The source files are included so people can also customize the shell (two mouse...

That's a great print — did you use an ultrasonic cleaner? Appreciate you sharing a video for everyone else to see. Do you find the 3D printed gear is louder than the original? A lot of people mention this about the gears available for sale online but I have to admit I didn't pay enough...

Thanks folks! if it works that's all that matters!

Just found this thread and thought you might appreciate my solution (and tutorial). This solution allows you to neatly hook the fake battery to a real battery pack (e.g., 2xAA) and place the battery pack somewhere safer.

Thank you for testing this on your FDM! Many people have asked if it's possible in the last few months and you're the first to test it and share results. Also, this is a great comparison. I suspect the teeth on the white gear (Shapeways) are not as deep as the yellow (original) because of...

Thanks! That's super generous of you — I've been thinking of getting a SCSI2SD :) Shapeways provides the datasheet for their "Smooth Fine Detail Plastic" material. According to the datasheet it's a "VisiJet® M3 Advanced Plastics", but that doesn't help narrow it down too much because that...

That’s correct - I get $0.48. It’s possible to make a lot more by setting the price just a little lower than that eBay guy but my goal was to make this as cheap as possible. 

I was able to make working prototypes at 0.10mm resolution on my Anycubic Photon (LCD / Resin printer) while I was testing early designs. Based on Eric's photos I would say the quality he got from Shapeways is about 2x better than I was able to produce.

Thanks for sharing, Eric. I recreated the design of the gears and open sourced them because the existing options were priced in a way which felt intentionally opportunistic. Also, we now live in a world where most people either owns a 3D printer, knows someone who owns a 3D printer, or otherwise...
