Swiftpoint Z base

thingiverse

This is a custom base plate for the Swiftpoint Z mouse. Unlike the two original bases, it is not splitted into two parts but is composed of a single shell. It was designed to allow the installation of ceramic feet, with the purpose of increasing the smoothness and the movement speed, but it can be used as a simple replacement of the original base, and you can install the feet you prefer. It can work indifferently as the base number 1 which allows the left/right tilt or as the base number 3 which is tilt-less, just change the positioning of the feet. The one shown in the picture is a tilt-less version, if you want to allow the tilt you need to install the feet in a more central position farther from the edges (see the feet positioning on the original bases as reference). For the magnetic coupling, there are housings for round magnets of 5mm in diameter and 1mm thick. I used a drop of glue to seal them to the body. The ceramic feet I used are the Lexip MO42.
