Jeremy WrightThanks to @freecad Addon Ecosystem Coordinator PhoneDroid, CadQuery's workbench for #FreeCAD has been updated to meet the latest standards for an addon. #CadQuery

LynxIt's happening!
Now I just need to get the PCBs fabbed, and hopefully everything works...

Here's the first print of the handle and plate!

ThomasWe met family members for the holidays who recently began #3Dprinting, and we discussed #3Dmodeling. They use a nice Bambu Lab printer; it operates in a walled garden with cloud services in China which would be a deal breaker for me.
Long story short: I discovered #CadQuery for parametric design, and soon noticed that the market for 3D printers is saturated... I ordered a cheap refurbished #SOVOL SV06 which mostly runs OSS. It arrived today, on new year's eve!
There is lots to learn.
Another step closer, probably time to print and try it out!
This time, I added battery power and charging to the PCB, as well as switching to a separate antenna, and I added mounting for the scroll ball from an Apple Mighty Mouse.

Getting closer! Now there's triggers and back/forward buttons as well. Now reworking the main PCB to use an external antenna, and to actually support a battery. (difficult to have a wireless device without a battery...)

Added the PCBs to the hardware design preview, and put in standoffs and mounting holes.
WIP: the Lynx Mouse
My own design, inspired by the Zalman FG-1000 FPSgun.
Maybe once I get paid, I'll be able to order some PCBs, and finally assemble this thing.

@scudderfish I could never find my way through #cadquery. Too weird the syntax and concepts. I forked #sdfCAD and worked on something I understood myself but in the end stayed with #solveSpace.
