This is a Rev 2 pass on a rough primitive Bruce model meant to be printed with 15% infill for testing grip/fit & getting some feedback. Let me know how it feels with a 2/3 finger grip, gloved vs ungloved, etc. Asking for input.
What am I up to here? Hint: Here was the first pass design, where I tried to see how compact I could get the enclosure. Ultimately it felt a bit too small & blocky, so I went with a more ergonomic shape that is based on the final Bruce design.
You’ll want to flip it over 180 so it prints with the front/flat side down, 15% infill. This is just a primitive solid to get a feel for the grip and so people can get an idea of what it will feel like to hold one so I can get feedback.
I added REV1 Top/Bottom shell to the repo as well just for reference, but I’ve since binned this design and started from scratch on REV2.
^ This is the most recent version. This is a test-print/dummy mockup, so its one solid piece just meant to approximate the dimensions of the remote. My hands are big, so I wanted to get feedback from different folks to see how this works for them. Probably dont want to do resin for it, I’d suggest PLA w/ 10-15% infill to make it go quick.
I like it, its comfortable. Feels more secure in the hand then the Puck, and its much easier to locate my thumb’s position on the thumb wheel. I wish the thumb wheel was a little bit further forward.
awesome! it appears all I have to do is think about an idea and it’s already happening. I can’t hold my damn puck… was thinking about this exact idea. so stoked to see it happening.
damn. my 3d printer is still broke. I worked on my desk area to fit in a new monitor and clean up 10 years of crap instead of fixing the printer. so now I have a nice monitor on which to read threads that tell me I should have fixed the printer…
Aww thanks! I have every intention of naming the small batch we’ll have available in the store that exactly. Devices should have weirder names, imo.
I’ll get some shells printed up and available for folks that want to test these out. This is a quick/easy way for me to get some feedback on the new Bruce redesign and I can take the progress here and directly apply it to the FreeSK8/OSRR version.
What if I were to say we might also have a small limited edition batch of Puck, Puck, Bruce! Remotes w/ the upgraded hall-effect thumbwheel from OSRR/FreeSK8 instead of the standard Hoyt thumbwheel?
So this is now 3 different lady hands that have held it and have given feedback that the REV2 feels a bit too large. Makes me think that perhaps I should finalize the REV1 design as the Small version and then finish up the REV2 as the Larger version. Here are the two for comparison:
In case optional design idea are welcome here as well. I‘m in love with that pop socket addition to my puck. It’s so solid and secure fixed and nicely to control. Even wearing a wrist protect it’s still fit. This was always an issue with any other remote. The only thing I don’t like is that the pop socket is glued to the remote case and as the case is slightly bend it will come off at one point. If that kind of fixation would be integrated in the shell or the shell would offer some kind of clip for those kind of sockets, that would be perfect.
Sorry I don’t really bring anything to this forum but this is hilarious @glyphiks this will be one of many do we have a derailed thread @BillGordon
