Mad Catz R.A.T.1 - FDM Friendly Starting Frame
Description
Got Myself The Madcatz R.A.T.1 Primary Since The Selling Point Was That You Can Customize It With 3D Printing. Once I Got It And Downloaded The New Palm Rests Stl I Quickly Realized That That They Never Engineered This For Fdm Printers. Even The Basic Frame That Comes With The Mouse Is Impossible To Recreate With An Fdm Printer, Trust Me, I Tried...Wasted A Day On That Attempt. So Plan B, Create A New Frame That Can Be Easily Printed. Boy, What A Pain In The Butt That Was. So Many Odd Angles And Such, Even With All The Measuring, Tracing, Etc I Did, It Took Quite A Bit Of Trial And Error To Get This To Fit Right. So Here You Have It. A Very Simple Starting Frame To Begin Any Custom 3D Printing Designs You Want For The Mouse. With This Complete, Now I Can Begin Designing A Custom Mouse For Myself. I Have The Rat Cyborg 9, Love How It Looks And How I Can Customize Its Shape A Bit. So I'M Taking That Look As A Starting Point For The Rat1. Even Want To Have A Way To Add Weight To The Mouse, Rat1 Is Very Very Light And I Want My Mouse To Have A Bit More Heft To It. All In All, It Was A Bumpy First 3 Days But Now I'M Excited About What I Can Try To Make With This Thing. I'Ll Post The Full Custom Mouse As A Remix To This Frame, Probably The New Frame I Make Will Be More To You'Re Liking. Even Going To Order Myself Some Transparent Green Pla For The Frame, Hope It'Ll Look As Good As I See It In My Head. Happy Printing.
