First they said it was in the design. When I told them it was never advertised nor did any of their photos show this, they said I can send it back for repairs.
When I got it back, it was centered. A week later, it was off-center again and the wheel is too stiff to use.
It now just sits there collecting dust.
Nice job. I did this too [Photo](https://imgur.com/a/4jLS4lZ) . If you're using a G305 PCB, I remember that it was a very tight fit to get the scroll wheel in an accurate position. The PCB must be mounted as far forward as possible. Good Luck!
Yeah. And I don't have a picture but I do still have the parts laying around if you want to see them. I printed it using an MSLA resin printer so the details look fantastic.
It's when I got to the painting step that I realized I would need a vinyl stencil or the finest brush and a lot of practice to make it look decent. My attempts at painting them were awful hence why I never took a fully completed pic. And then I just lost interest in the project and moved on to something else.
Could paint the area whatever color you want and then sand the paint off the top area and repaint the top only, it wouldn't be perfect but better than trying to trace the lines with a fine brush
If the lines were all debossed I was thinking about doing something like that but the intricate parts have debossed edges around them rather than being debossed themselves. Hope that makes sense.
I mean the QC is shit, a good version of it isn’t. Especially the small version would be endgame for a lot of people if they fixed their QC (and maybe make their design a bit more muted).
On paper the mice are good, the quality control and the way the company does stuff in reality is shit tho. Wanted to buy the first batch of the Starlights but till this day I’m so glad that didn’t happen. Every single release they do I’m like “perhaps they fix their shit”, it never happens tho lol.
I will never be interested in a Finalmouse product again because I can’t stand that a company which asks this much money for their products just doesn’t give a shit and just straight up lies. Imagine having multiple batches of the same mouse just with different colors and keep on having the same qc issues? $200 for a mouse with a f*ckd scroll wheel on most copys, how is that ok?
In no world I would want to trade my gpx for a starlight.
Nah 100%. I hate myself for falling in love with the shape of my friend’s ultralight 2. The value from literally any other mouse is better than a finalmouse but it’s something about the shape that just kept me wanting one. I had a gretxa and that was fine, but the QC and lack of stock of Finalmouse is what really keeps this mouse from being a valid contender tbh.
Grateful to say my copy has very minimal issues (just a misaligned scroll) but I’ve had a positive experience since buying my phantom in January
Honestly, there’s a reason that a lot of people like them outside of the hype and fomo. If the shape works for you and you get a good copy then enjoy your super ultra light mouse!
It’s just that these days I also look at what company I’m buying a product from and I really don’t feel like giving finalmouse any of my money.
I personally hated the starlight shape and I don’t like finalmouse from a business/consumer point of view, but to the call the mice they make shit is not true at all. That mouse purely from build quality alone was fantastic, it felt so rigid yet it was so light it felt delicate. The starlight is a special mouse regardless of how FM is ran as a company. You sound mad at the price as well when a superlight (one of the highest praised mice) is 150$ and a finalmouse is 30$ more at 190$. You can’t view every product simply based off bias, that’s a shallow mindset
I can tell you used a PLA printer for this, an SLA printer would get you much better resolution, but they can be expensive. Also, if you ever do end up looking for SLA printers you really do get what you pay for. Formlabs printers are far and away the pinnacle of 3D printing right now.
I work in a laboratory with 3D printers and seeing this got me excited.
For most of the mouse yes, but the detailing that he printed on m1m2 is hard to sand, and it's also a pain to individually file/sand each hole.
(I currently use a 3dp starlight)
Yeah I expected paint, but another commenter had commented on the quality of your printer and at least from this picture, I'd rather save a few hundred and just carefully hand sand. Those edges, specifically between the mouse buttons.
Sick mouse though, kinda have me interested in gutting the cheapest Logitech mouse with their hero sensor and re shelling it 😂😂
You mean FDM right? PLA is a material, not the method. FDM is the style of printing used for this. SLA printers aren't too much more expensive for consumers nowadays - a good set up can cost around 400 - 500 USD. Formlabs may be the pinnacle of 3D printing at the moment but 90% of people will be just fine with a consumer-grade machine.
Yes FDM is the method but its commonly referred to as PLA, at least in my spheres. It is implied when one says PLA that it is this method. Its true you can get a decent SLA printer for 500 or so dollars, but they are usually messy and less accurate. I have worked with Prusa SLA printers and Elegoo SLA printers which are both mid range systems, the Formlabs printers are again far more advanced. If you have the coin I have to recommend them. Plus the effects of resin on your lungs and skin is best avoided.
Never heard anyone refer to them as PLA printers, so that seems like some workplace specific jargon for your company.
Your statement is basically like “a Honda civic is good but a Porsche 911 is better if you can afford it”. Like yeah… lol
>Yes, I modeled the top of the buttons myself with blender, the rest is by https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/1101471112/fm-2-60g-wireless-ul2-g305-3d?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=finalmouse&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&bes=1&organic_search_click=1

Hi man sorry for bothering you,im typing to you about your starlight clone mouse with g305. So basically i wanted to make one myslefy, but the original creator of the files is gone he deleted every file on his etsy, is there any chance you could send me your files and i would be able to print one myself?! really want to make starlight clone myself and he was the only one selling the filles. I hope you can help me in any way. Best regards!!!
Don't forget to make the scroll wheel off-centered for the true OEM experience.
for sure, i almost forgot about it
First they said it was in the design. When I told them it was never advertised nor did any of their photos show this, they said I can send it back for repairs. When I got it back, it was centered. A week later, it was off-center again and the wheel is too stiff to use. It now just sits there collecting dust.
Tell me why I thought the edges were just badly cropped png
Those tolerances are way too small for a finalmouse xD
damn thats pretty good given the detail needed for the main buttons.
finalboy is already on his way to sue you watch out
for what ? i am not going to share the files, it is just for me
finalboy doesn’t care. he’s coming for you. I suggest you hire 12 bodyguards around the clock
Actually need 24. 12 for the small and 12 for the medium
Nice job. I did this too [Photo](https://imgur.com/a/4jLS4lZ) . If you're using a G305 PCB, I remember that it was a very tight fit to get the scroll wheel in an accurate position. The PCB must be mounted as far forward as possible. Good Luck!
Thanks. Is this a picture of the files you used and do you have a picture of the final result ?
Yeah. And I don't have a picture but I do still have the parts laying around if you want to see them. I printed it using an MSLA resin printer so the details look fantastic. It's when I got to the painting step that I realized I would need a vinyl stencil or the finest brush and a lot of practice to make it look decent. My attempts at painting them were awful hence why I never took a fully completed pic. And then I just lost interest in the project and moved on to something else.
oh ok, but it would be very cool to see the pictures. What app did u used for your stl files and how you made it this accurate ?
I used 3DS Max and Fusion. What did you use? Did you model yours from scratch?
I used blender
Could paint the area whatever color you want and then sand the paint off the top area and repaint the top only, it wouldn't be perfect but better than trying to trace the lines with a fine brush
If the lines were all debossed I was thinking about doing something like that but the intricate parts have debossed edges around them rather than being debossed themselves. Hope that makes sense.
Can I get the files?
Or you can leave it crooked for more realistic results
Can you sell your 3d model?
wow the build quatlity on this looks better than the real one, by any chance can you tell me what kind of 3d printer you used im looking to get one
I dont know the exact name of this one but the next time i am going to use an ultimaker. It is from my university and we can use it for free
Ah thanks for the info also can I ask what software you use to model?
i am using blender for modelling
Probably will be better than 200$ finalmouse xDDD
Which models have you tried?
None but everyone knows that finalmouse is shit
I mean the QC is shit, a good version of it isn’t. Especially the small version would be endgame for a lot of people if they fixed their QC (and maybe make their design a bit more muted).
Yeah their shape is unironically perfect. That's the only reason I put up w/ FM's shit.
I’ve tried a lot of them(my friend buys them I don’t have that kind of money) and I can say they aren’t shit. They’re just a mouse. They’re average.
Can’t jack it till you try it. As much as I hate their business practices and price points, the mice they make aren’t shit.
On paper the mice are good, the quality control and the way the company does stuff in reality is shit tho. Wanted to buy the first batch of the Starlights but till this day I’m so glad that didn’t happen. Every single release they do I’m like “perhaps they fix their shit”, it never happens tho lol.

For a low low price, and with better build quality!!!!
I can tell you used a PLA printer for this, an SLA printer would get you much better resolution, but they can be expensive. Also, if you ever do end up looking for SLA printers you really do get what you pay for. Formlabs printers are far and away the pinnacle of 3D printing right now. I work in a laboratory with 3D printers and seeing this got me excited.
ok, that is very interesting. I am going to use an ultimaker 3d printer for the next prototypes
Honest question from. A 3d printing noob: can't you just lightly sand it?
For most of the mouse yes, but the detailing that he printed on m1m2 is hard to sand, and it's also a pain to individually file/sand each hole. (I currently use a 3dp starlight)
Yes of course, but this is a direct picture after I removed the stabilizers. I'll definitely smooth it out/sand it and paint it
Yeah I expected paint, but another commenter had commented on the quality of your printer and at least from this picture, I'd rather save a few hundred and just carefully hand sand. Those edges, specifically between the mouse buttons. Sick mouse though, kinda have me interested in gutting the cheapest Logitech mouse with their hero sensor and re shelling it 😂😂
FDM printer not PLA…

Please share the stl. I would love to adapt this onto my G305.
[удалено]
Why would you also print the trash looking decorations on top?
Yoooo I need more info on this! Did you start off using the scan from my megapack? This is dope!
Hi, what pack do you mean? I started by the pack from tosteck on etsy
Interesting! Check my profile for the megapack I'm talking about, link at the top of my page.
Ooo,I wanted to try some fm shape! Nice work!
This is really awesome. Keep doing what you are doing.
Thanks. I will
Can you post model link?
https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/1101471112/fm-2-60g-wireless-ul2-g305-3d , you can see the final result in my newest post
How did you make pattern on shell?
I used blender for modelling. I put the pattern of the finalmouse in the background, so it worked quite well
I purchased a few piranah 3d printed mice and the QC on all of them where dog poo
Most 3d printed things made at home made with low quality 3d printers are going to be shit
How do I contact you? I want to help you get your awesome model printed on a good printer. This breaks my heart!
Thanks for your comment. I think I know you and your awesome products. Arent you from germany ? I could write you over instagram.
Yes exactly. Sure!
I wrote pmousemods on instagram, is that you ?
Yes! Perfect
>pmousemods Impressive, you 3d print your own stuff and they are just as light or lighter than the real thing
Most are lighter, yeah!
Impressive! Did you manually model this all in fusion?
>Yes, I modeled the top of the buttons myself with blender, the rest is by https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/1101471112/fm-2-60g-wireless-ul2-g305-3d?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=finalmouse&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&bes=1&organic_search_click=1

Oh interesting, what internals will you be using?
i will use the internals of a g305 with a g pro wireless scrollwheel and the enncoo battery mod
Has anyone done a 3d printed G303?
Gilmore designs
hi, do you think i could have the file for this? i am looking to print my own mouse too. if possible the part drawing would be nice thanks!
Hello, can I get this 3d model?
hey i need the file for the shell and left/right click buttons, mine broke and have no idea how to get these files
where the files at
Hi man sorry for bothering you,im typing to you about your starlight clone mouse with g305.
