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. ย ๐ 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. ย ๐จ 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. ย โค Show your setup Did you go for a massive pad or a small travel version? Post a photo of your mouse on the pad! I love seeing the different colors and textures you guys use. Happy printing!
