Random 3D printing chatter

Have any of you guys ever tried out a new mouse shape by printing the shell for models you're interested in? No bricks and mortar stores near me carry any decent gaming mice, so trying 'em out for comfort first is impossible. :rolleyes:

I don't have a 3d printer myself, but a guy in work might print off a few mouse shapes for me if it's feasible. Full disclosure, I have a weird right hand! :cry: The tip of my thumb is missing and my little finger skews out at a bit of an angle from where it didn't set properly after it was broken. Previously, I've just "made do" with whatever, but if I could try shapes beforehand... well that might be a literal game changer for me!
 
I'm happy with my A1 + AMS but with the long hours of filament swaps & waste is doing my head in........So I've gone over to the dark side (sort of) and ordered the Snapmaker U1, just over £600.

The Full Spectrum mode sounds interesting.

H3C installed at work. It's a bit of a beast
 
It’s an absolute unit.

It looks so much more like an industrial machine in that setting rather than some hobbiest equipment.
It basically is though isn't it, I'd love to see one in action, I'll be on youtube later to see if anyone has some vids up yet, I'd imagine so.

Very interesting machine, not something that is on my radar mainly due to cost and the fact that for what I use a printer for this is overkill, can't see my company spending on it or I'd have one in a minute lol.

It wobbles a lot but the manual says it normal/needed. Dunno, seems a lot to me.
Prints nice though

It does look like a lot of fun, my P1S wobbled like crazy and I bought the anti-vibration mount kit. I think it stops it rattling your entire house by moving the machine around instead due to all the momentum.
