Hi,
This is for the contest: Logitech MX Keyboard Adaptive Add-ons.

Logitech MX + Palm Rest

What it is: A palm rest supports the pad at the base of the palm instead of the wrist. The wrist stays free of load, which avoids the carpal tunnel pressure that traditional wrist rests can cause.

How it helps

The rest lifts the palm so the fingertips sit slightly lower, matching the hand's natural inward curve. The palm acts as an anchor that relieves stress on the wrist.

The load sits on the padded part of the palm, not over the nerves and tendons.

The hand isn't held in the air, so the forearm and shoulder aren't strained, even when the desk ergonomics aren't ideal.

Instructions

Disclaimer: I posted the model without any tolerances for printing, so there may be some sanding labor involved, or you can open the STEP file and add the tolerances for printing. If you want the letters to sit flush with the surface, lower the thickness by 0.2 mm. For the letter sides, a snug fit would be adding a gap of 0.1 mm. But a safe bet would be a 0.2 mm gap for every part of the model :D

First step: Print everything in any color you want.

(Preferably the top parts that you are going to put your palms on, print them on the printer bed surface, so that they would be smooth.)

Second step: Assemble and glue the base pad, as shown in the images (Please use a flat surface as a reference).

Third step: Assemble and glue the base palm plate, as shown in the images (same here use a flat surface as a reference).

Fourth step: Assemble and glue the letters and feet of the rest, as shown in the images.

Fifth step: Either you can glue the palm plate or not glue it (your choice, red pill or blue pill), as shown in the images.

Sixth step: Glue in the contour, as shown in the images

Seventh step: Reward yourself with a gummy, you did a great job! And enjoy the fully custom palm rest for your Logitech MX keyboard.
