Another Puck case

After reading great things about both the Stormcore and the Puck, I decided an order with Lacroix was on the cards. Upon holding the Midnight Puck, I instantly realise, it’s just way too small for my hand and I get a bit crampy gripping it, fair enough I do have long fingers so these things are no longer a surprise to me.

I printed the Puck-Puck-Bruce from DRI, almost bought their sensual red/black one in the process, so very nice looking in Nylon. It felt like a nicer grip, but I still didn’t have anywhere for my pinky.

So it’s time to customize, I’m thinking something bean shaped like the VX1, but also as palm sized, or more specifically my palm sized :smile:

Have you checked out the other remote cases from the design contest on Freesk8?

The poasttoast one has a pinky spot that is mildly substantial. I’m working on a video comparing puck mods after I do my puck review

I feel like @poastoast puck design nailed the pinky rest pretty well. If you’re looking for alternative Puck designs definitely check out the contest entries we had:

If you’re looking to design your own shell, Hoyt graciously agreed to open source their internal 3D models for the puck:

So I’m a bit late to this party it seems :laughing:

They look good, but I have spent enough time learning blender this year, it’s time to do my own. I had aready come across those resources thank you, otherwise it would likely be too daunting a task. I am struggling to open the STEP files in that repo, but was planning to use the PuckBruce STL to guide me through the process

It’s all fair game to create a new one, just wanted to make sure you were aware of what’s out there

Maybe if I’m quick enough I’ll make it into your video. Lol

Haha we shall see. I’m intending to compare all of the available ones

I have other videos in the queue and the puck review itself so you’ve got some time

And thanks for the design inspiration, great to know what I’m up against.

My last two were in Flexi Resin, but this will just be an FDM job I think… For now anyway

I wish I had room / money for a resin printer, that would be dope

The new Prusa one is the first real one that I’ve considered picking up. Not counting $180 Photon impulse purchases.

I didn’t know Prusa was releasing a resin one, that’s neat. Will need to look it up

The Prusa Silcer tool is fantastic, so I bet their printer is too. I’m stuck with the old Mars, invested before they invented Mono (i.e. 3x Turbo). So need a good excuse, better than my LCD has just failed bullet-holing my new Trampa Wand skin. At least it wasn’t a fatal blow.

That long arm seems unnecessary, the puck’s selling point is the small convenience.

My concept sculpt is going far more mega-drive controller / shark-fin
