Still needs some design corrections because I just didn’t know how to properly do 3D print and industrial design but it works!

    Thank you! Designing was by far the longest part, I bought all the parts first then measured everything and made the 3D models. Started with freecad but it was way too much for a beginner like me so I had to switch to fusion. Then printed test parts since for example the bottom frame takes like 20h to print and I had to cut a part, print it, see if it fits with the electronics (for example trackball seat) Then I designed the art which was going on top of it, I downloaded 3d scans from sketchfab and arranged them together. Then I had like 5 failed prints for several reasons, each took like a day and many parts I had to print again because it’d not fit or not print properly (since I’m such a noob lol) Then I tried many times to fix the charging without any success, ordered many parts from aliexpress which didn’t work. it’s still a work on progress but after 4 months I’m a bit burnt out so I’ll give myself a bit of rest before I fix the remaining problems :)
