CHECK OUT MY NEW LIGHTER DESIGN ON MY PROFILE I created this model in Fusion based heavily on the remixed model. I didn't like the screw mounting system that was used by the other design and there were a lot of features in the design that were either hard-to print+/remove supports as well as being much heavier than required. Designs/files I used: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3650672 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4618772 Tools: soldering iron +/ Woodburner untinned copper tips https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185544786888 file sandpaper ph0 screwdriver hot glue gun Materials: sandpaper/grip tape card (coupon card, bank card, etc) [ Lr44 batteries + holder ] or [ 2032 lithium cell + holder ] https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283117054906 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254861885781 This comes out to 29g with battery, (i do wanna get the weight down, could be adjusted with print settings as well as taking weight from the base). the system for mounting the scroll wheel is a bit janky but it's lighter than supports coming up from the baseplate for POWER using a 3v lithium cell (2032): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283117054906 for power with an lr44: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254861885781 I have been using 3v cells (even though g305 PCB is meant for 1.5v aa) but I have had no issues after 8 months. but now I got some lr44 cells which I'm using with an lr44 battery holder which I soldered to the hole for the power connector at the back of the PCB. The switches are just glued in place with hot glue, it works well because it's easily removable but strong enough not to move during normal use. the pins of the switches push through the original holes in the PCB which keeps them lined up To make the switches work properly I fused (you could glue) pieces of card to both of the switch posts on the top housing, the flat card works perfectly as it is rigid but still easy to work with. to fuse the card to the PLA I used a soldering iron at 350 with an untinned copper tip: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/185544786888. The grips are just sandpaper with double-sided tape. The janky scroll wheel holder clips around the two notches on the PCB and [mostly] holds the wheel in place with the addition of some hot glue, although janky its lighter than having supports come up from the PCB the scroll wheel I used is a modified version of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4618772 I used my soldering iron to create notches for grip (only do this if you print the scroll on an fdm printer, if you want to print on a resin printer you will either have to file out the groves or use a different model.) to make the scroll wheel fit I just snipped out bits of the top housing. you can just use the original g305 scroll wheel.
