Looks like Teaching Tech added a smaller V2 version of the space mouse. Hmm, I might give this a shot. Same link as the original.

Waiting to see your outcome!!!

Wish he had done a video on it. I think it is still kind of big!

I ordered what I needed. Will start printing soon.

Iā€™m a bit concerned about it being weighted enough so it doesnā€™t tip. Instructions talk about it but not sure what heā€™s using. I ordered some wheel weights.

I wondered about that as well. I know the space mouse I have is VERY heavy. That way when you pull up you donā€™t actually pick it up off the desk. Hopefully there is a way to weigh it down enough for the same effect.

The spacemouse weights 480g (16oz), we will need quite a bit of lead indeed :slight_smile:

I just printed the main shell, but yea, itā€™s still pretty big.

I am interested but I think Iā€™ll wait for V3?

EDIT: Followed the white rabbit and now Iā€™m also printing the parts

Itā€™s pretty tall in fact, but thatā€™s because the board is tucked beneath the joystick, I think itā€™s quite easy to fixā€¦

I finished printing the parts and assembled it, flashed the board, but Iā€™m stuck in defining the custom spacemouse board in arduino ideā€¦

Copy everything from C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr to ~\Documents\Arduino\hardware\daemonbite\avr

Well yeahā€¦ I donā€™t have this folder on my computer, soā€¦

Where would you place the board? :slight_smile:

516

If anyone has a zip of this folder, this would be greatly appreciatedā€¦
Using the latest git release of arduino-avr only brings new compilation errors >_<

517

I found the files here:
C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr\1.8.6

This would be an amazing makerspace project. Create your own 3d mouse for the upcoming CAD-course! :smiley:
