Building the FLipmouse

We strongly recommend to use our Construction Manual, simply because it has very nice illustrations.

If you use this manual, please read the errata file BEFORE starting, because it contains all additional information which is not contained in the pdf file yet:

3D printed version

The current construction manual shows only the acrylic case building. If you printed your own case, a few steps are different compared to the acrylic case:

• You can skip all steps of glueing
• You need to put 6 M3 thread-inserts (4 to the sensor carrier, 2 to the main case) into the plastics (with the solder iron). This video shows you how to do that.
• The 4 springs are attached with M3 metal screws instead of M4 plastic screws.
• You can solder the 5 pin female header to the sensor carrier before gluing both parts (sensor PCB and sensor carrier) together
