  • Nice move! I think you have it correctly mounted though, I wouldn’t put it on a bracket. I used a conversion bracket for direct drive on my Max and I kept getting pulsing issues.

    I think they were due to the filament pushing down the hotend slightly when starting to extrude because the hotend is mounted on the compliant strain gauge mount. With your method, it stays isolated and doesn’t push down more on the strain gauge mount when the extrusion starts.

    Please give me an update if you can if you run into any other problems!






  • Thanks! Space is the 2U dark blue on the bottom on the left side (and one of the 1U dark blues on the right). Return is the bottom left grey key on the right side. Scroll lock is… Nonexistent since I never use it lol although I’ve been adding in a lot on my second layer so I could add that need be.

    Finger operated right trackball in the middle has been very ergo for me, I used to have a symmetrical Kensington orbit which I liked well enough but it broke on me. I find tilting the trackball in the orientation of my arm works well enough to move my right hand between the right side and the middle.

    I agree with your sentiment on thumb balls, I used to use one but found it worse for my hand overall and my thumb started hurting.
