Banzai mouse mod

[Cannibal23]

i heated it up over my stove placed it over the mouse and coverd my hand with the damp cloth. then i placed my hand ontop of the mouse and squeezed it into shape.

seems to work well for me

Can you form it so that it fits into the sun rays?

[Cannibal23]

basicly i wanted it to make it flush with the rest of the mouse. so instead of forming it into the cuts. i needed the mold to take the same curve as the rest of the mouse. basicaly what will happen now is i will mark off on the plex what to cut out and glue it into the cuts in the mouse.

Sounds pretty cool!

[Cannibal23]

well im just hopeing that the plex and the abs bond really well and dont end up with some ugly marks where the glue sticks them togeather. im really hopeing that this all works out to look nice. its my first time modding a mouse and i would love for this to not turn out to be a disaster lol

If it is ABS, then it should bond great, especially if you use a solvent glue (I recomend it!)

im going to be useing the same stuff i use to just bond plex togeather. i know it will work on this plastic too but im more concerned about what the acctual join will look like seeing as one plastic is clear and the other is not

[Cannibal23]

lmao.

*kicks again*

yay updates. here ya go

i Painted the top side of the electronics board

also i added a wire bridge to the circut that controls the dimming of the led when not in use as per the instructions on this forum. ya its blurry couldent get a better pic i tried.

i also painted inside the base plate of the mouse. apparenltly i own too much red paint.. hmmm

i cut out some sections of the plexiglass mold i made. they still need to be filed down to fit, i get the feeling thats going to take a while.

here it is again on top of the mouse body.

did i mention i cut a few more strips out of this thing? here are some shots of it now

another update to come some time when im done all this lousy fileing..
