I enjoy a lot using my keyboard together with the Apple Trackpad. It is so efficient and saved a lot of my desk space. However, one thing I do notice is that my wrist fatigue very quickly because I have to move in between different height between the trackpad and the keyboard. On my search for a palm rest with trackpad integration, I encountered the beautiful solution from leywey on GrabCAD.
From the model, I shorten the model to accompany for my 65% percent keyboard. In addition, I also split the model to make it printable on my Prusa mini. I tried with 3 different elevation of the trackpad (2mm, 4mm and 6mm) and found the 2mm model worked the best for me.
After printing the two pieces, they should be joint together with a small tolerance. I applied thin foam tape at the bottom to prevent it from moving around on the desk. The final result works really nice and I am very satisfied with the user experience.
