      while that would probably work on it's own there are two (sort of 3) reasons that I doubt it'd work smoothly with what he has
      1 : he already has majorly skeletonized the design. Topology optimization is typicailly given a frame-body shape to start with and cuts away material, does a simulation of various loads, cuts away or re-adds more material, lather rinse and repeat. Since already has skeletonized it to the max though it wouldn't have as much freedom and likely couldn't make much progress
      2 : the body of the mouse is also a mechanical component, bending to actuate the switches. While this could likely be modeled somewhat via top. opt. the body of the mouse *_also_* affecting the characteristics of the click could cause issues
      3 : I think the far bigger optimization is integrating 3 dimensional support structures. As it stands the mouse is straight walled which, while simple, isn't nearly as stiff as it could be. You could cut away a good bit more of the material and keep the same stiffness if you used angled internal struts to support the walls and stop them from bending inwards directly rather than just relying on material stiffness. In theory I think topology optimization *_could_* do this, but I've rarely seen it ever used in 3 dimensions like that, I'd wager just because it increases the mathematical complexity significantly. Working in 3 dimensions is quite literally infinitely harder than working in two, and I imagine that practically speaking it's just not really viable for most projects compared to designing the struts by hand.

    Add radii to the sharp edges to make the part more print friendly. 3D printers often have difficulty with sharp edges. This will also make the part more ergonomic. Also add fillets to internal sharp corners that will be flexed, as these are potential points of failure.

      The main advantage 3D printing offers is strengh by structure which would not be possible with injection molding or machining. You should utilize that in your design. Perhabs review some mousewheel options, it's a little bit high above the trigger buttons. Really nice start though.

      Believe me, before I moved to a fingertip mouse, I didn’t want to leave side buttons. But once you try a mouse like this, you will experience first hand why most true finger tip mice have no side buttons. I’ve even tried replicating pressing the side buttons with my pcbr 8k and you lose control and your grip the second you life your thumb off. Of course there’s the occasional web browsing which I could see it being useful in that regard but in games, which most mice like this prioritize performance over versatility, it negatively affects your performance.

All he'd need to do is adjust the side grips to have a 45degree tilt at the front and you can literally print this mouse standing up on it's face without a single support. Or in parts. Yes casting is stronger but for something like this, it's irrelevant. Especially since it'd be about $2 in filament AT MOST and layer weaknesses could be worked out in the design. I do casting, mold making, printing, etc. And while it's good that those without printers can buy his kit, the excuse of quality is largely bs.

    i love your niche of developing things and making as good as you can. dont get me wrong, there are a lot of great DIY channels on youtube but most of them carre only about function and as a designer myself, is refreshing to see someone doing something that care not only about function but also how it looks, how it feels and mino details that others dont understand. As a designer i want to compliment you on learning by yourself what actually means to be a designer, someone that wants to solve a problem and cares about infinite small details. Thats exactly what makes us different pro enginneers, we care about everything , not only function. Kudos to your product and i really hope it can grow and grow and you can develop a brand focused on really pushing the ideas to the maximum.

    This is super cool! The only thing I'd say is that you should include the files with purchase of the kit or make it a separate purchase. Perhaps provide sourcing info too.
    I only say that because over time people will likely need/want to replace their shells and since you said you aren't planning to support the original design, having those files will let people fix their stuff rather than waste it.
    Though I understand the reason why you wouldn't want to as well. Perhaps down the road when newer iterations coke out you can release old ones as a sort of compromise.

It'll save lots of time and waste having the initial model to be able to edit and move from there

    In the interest of not encouraging waste... get shipped from signapor to wherever packaged, add packaging, ship again to customers... all to prevent what looks like 5 grams of plastic from being used. Also of note these look like a much easier print with a different style of printer than he is using called fdm. It would produce less waste, and use materials that are easier to recycle (although in most cases that infrastructure is still missing).
