3dconnexion SpaceNavigator Handrest

thingiverse

This is a handrest for the SpaceNavigator Desktop edition. Your SpaceNavigator will now stay in place when using it! There are only two parts to print, along with a few things to stick on after printing (optional). *Edit April 30th 2017: You can now print the pad with soft material if you prefer (I added the pad as a STL file). -The main part is the "SpaceNavigator Handrest.stl". This is the handrest itself, featuring a shallow pocket where the foam pad fits snugly (see the 3d model pictures). One picture shows a triangular-shaped pocket; this is the recommended print. -Then there's the "SpaceNavigator Cap.stl". This goes under the handrest and snaps into place to keep the SpaceNavigator firmly in position. It's removable for easy cleaning or replacement. -If you'd rather not have the triangular pocket on the handrest, use the file "SpaceNavigator Handrest-No Pocket.stl". -There's also a PDF file called "SpaceNavigator Pad Shape.pdf". Print this and place it over the foam pad to cut out the shape; it will fit perfectly into that triangle pocket. Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 acrylic frame Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20% Notes: No supports are needed. For the foam sheet, I used this: http://canada.michaels.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-MichaelsCanada-Site/en_CA/Product-Show?pid=10337027&cgid= It costs around $2 per sheet and is roughly 0.100" thick. You can find it easily at any arts and craft store (adhesive foam sheet). To minimize the slippery effect, I used some Pro-Tec self-sticking 3/4" round bumper pads, like these: https://www.madicoinc.com/ca/en/category/floor-surface-protection/pro-tec-surface-protection/pro-tec-pvc-round-bumper-pads/1059526/sku-23123 You can find similar products at any hardware store. If you print this handrest, please upload a picture of it; I'd really appreciate that!
