Ultimate Mouse Pad [Generator]

Stop buying overpriced fabric mouse pads that get dirty and lose their glide. This OpenSCAD generator allows you to create a professional-grade "Hard Pad" specifically designed to leverage the texture of your 3D printer's build plate. By printing face-down on a Textured PEI plate, you get a surface that is incredibly smooth, consistent, and easy to clean.

🛠 What can you customize?

• Exact Dimensions: Fit your desk perfectly. Go up to 256x256mm (X1/P1/A1) or 180x180mm (A1 Mini).

• Thickness: Keep it paper-thin (0.6mm) for a seamless feel or make it a rigid 2.0mm plate.

• Personalized Engraving: Add your gamertag or name in a thick, bold font in the bottom-right corner.

• Corner Radius: Choose between sharp modern edges or soft rounded corners.

🖨 Print Settings (IMPORTANT)

For the best experience, follow these specific instructions:

• Print Face Down: The "top" of your mouse pad is actually the side touching the build plate.

• Plate: Use a Textured PEI Plate. This texture is what makes the mouse glide so well.

• Material:

  • PLA: Best for speed and a hard, consistent glide.

  • TPU: Use this if you want a flexible, "desk-mat" feel, though it has more friction.

• Pro Tip (Hybrid Pad): Print the first 3 layers (0.6mm) in PLA for the glide, and the rest in TPU for a "built-in" anti-slip bottom.

• First Layer: Ensure your bed is perfectly clean (dish soap and water). Any fingerprint will be visible on the gliding surface.

• Ironing: Not needed for the bottom (gliding) surface, but you can enable it for the back side if you want it to look premium.
