Ploopy Classic trackball Wedge with Divots

thingiverse

I printed darrenph1's wedge for my Ploopy Classic and found some room for improvement. I found the Ploopy kept swiveling around the anchor post and the cheap silicone feet I stuck on the bottom of the wedge kept sliding off because they used cheap adhesive. What it needed was some divots to accommodate the stock feet of the Ploopy to lock it in place and some more divots on the bottom for some cheap rubber/silicone stick-on feet to hold it on a flat desk surface. I also found the stock 18 degree angle of the wedge too much for my taste, so I sliced it in half and made a 9 degree angle version and punched some holes in it so that it would use less plastic and be faster to print. An unintended benefit I found after the fact is that the hex holes make a great place to put the ball when cleaning the bearings. I uploaded 3 STLs, the 9 degree with hex holes, 18 degree with hex holes, 18 degree solid wedge all with 1x10mm divots on the bottom. It should have been 4 STLs but I accidentally overwrote the 9 degree solid version and I don't feel like spending more time to re-create it. Also the picture of the bottom of the 18 degree hex hole base was of an early version that I printed and found that it wobbled left/right because of the central placement of the foot at the base of the palm area. I corrected it later into more of a ladder style layout for the bottom feet and that is the STL that I uploaded.
