    I tried to clean my dirty 3D mouse with isopropyl alcohol, turns out that it MELTS the rubberized cover, turning it into a unusable sticky mess. I took off the cap, unscrewed the knob and cleaned it very well, however I still didn't want to use it because the surface was now sticky, glossy, disgusting to touch plastic. Used the opportunity to print my own.

    Context: I am a 3D artist working in the games industry and my most notable contribution is the "Tec-9 Slag" skin from Counter Strike 2, which I co-created with a friend. The Slag design relies on 3D printed oversized weirdly angled slices (and welded scrap metal). I was responsible in modeling out the slices, so I decided to use the same technique on this knob design, to make this object that sits on my desk all the time more appealing and, on a side note, have a better grip than the original knob. 
    My slice design has a very tactile feel that I did not expect to be as comfortable as it is, I highly prefer it over the original in both looks and usability.

    Printing instructions: print at the angle I've given to get the most visually appealing look despite wasting a little bit more plastic on ORGANIC supports, and I highly recommend a high amount of infilll! The difference between 15 and 100 % infill is only 7 grams!

    P.S. TAKE CARE OF YOUR SCREWS! (Un)screw them carefully to avoid damaging them, avoid (un)screwing them more times than you have to. They are of a very specific shape and hard to replace.
    I asked the 3DConnexion support nicely for some spare screws or where I could find to buy them and they refused, claiming that they will only help me "when a device is affected by a manufacturing or hardware defect covered under our support and warranty policies". That is all they said, then completely ignored my reply.
    Screws are worth microcents and are insanely easy to replace, they think that i'd buy a whole new device because my screws broke. Scumbags!
