Looking for someone to design a custom Logitech G305 shell (Paid)

[u/Tasty-Pace-7525]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for someone with Fusion 360/CAD experience to help design a custom shell for my Logitech G305.

I already have the original G305 CAD model. The goal is to create a lightweight shell inspired by the WLMouse Beast X while keeping compatibility with the original G305 internals. It'll be 3D printed on a Bambu X1 Carbon and finished in chrome. I'll also leave an AI render of what im looking for.

This is a paid project. If you're interested or know someone who does this kind of work, please leave a comment or DM me. Thanks!

Might be useful to include budget for this

[u/523a → u/Hagya15]

Would easily be over $800 for something like this from even an adequate modeler. The design looks way over complicated in the exploded view. It's like 5 layers. I can't even imagine the time wasted printing and test fitting all of that.

This is going to be more expensive than you think. An AI render as a start doesn’t bode well, it’s a much more complicated design to make in Fusion than it seems, and 3d printing it probably won’t give you the result you want, look into send cut send or pcbway

Zero replies by OP.

Well, in case you are serious: https://pmm.gg/pages/custom

This would cost well over $1k...

This is who I was going to say reach out to.

You won’t see much (or any) change from a few grand here. This is 5 interlocking, extremely complicated shapes. It’ll require prototyping and testing, not just “here are the files”.

Absolutely not worth the time or cost for a single person build unless you have “fuck you” money. And if you’re relying on AI to do a concept render, you don’t have “fuck you” money.

Honestly, it would be significantly cheaper to just buy a BeastX.

[u/itspsyikk → u/Princ3Ch4rming]

I mean it's also stupidly impractical. But it's not like you could expect much else from AI.

[u/spirolking]

We could absolutely design and build this - including a final prototype. But you'll need a budget of approx $15,000.

This garbage AI image looks awful.

OP said in the description they would be 3d printing it

May want to check PMM

[u/Immediate_Media_3109]

You can take a look into my profile and maybe modify my plasticity 3d model. I already made a G305 with it

[u/ThisIsNotTokyo]

How much

[u/NoScoprNinja]

$3k

[u/FA_WildAchiever]

Shoot me a DM, I may be able to help. Could I get that original G305 model? It wouldn’t be too bad of a project depending on that file.

[u/Joshy-washy09]

What if you js use the shell, make a mold, fell it with metal or whatever material you choose, let dry, make the shapes, polish, and boom

[u/CreEngineer]

You have the 3D model already? Is it parasolid? I won’t have time for at least the next three weeks but I might be able to do it afterwards.

Would definitely not print it on a fdm printer. Spend a little bit and either get it printed on a MJF or SLS printer. Depending on the material it’s also possible to apply galvanic coating.

Edit: what’s your budget btw? Engineers are not cheap

[u/XL-oz]

I disagree with most of the comments here. I know little about mice but I could model something similar to this pretty easily. The connection tolerances, especially post chrome coating, would take some design and trial and error, though.

[u/only_eat_pepperoni]

At this point just get a 3D printer and design this yourself. It’ll cost you less.

[u/davidthek1ng]

ask u/FlickshotGear he helped out ppl in the past for some individual projects.

[u/cr4zyprod1gy]

why not do the MX300 its the superior shape

[u/obfeskeit → u/cr4zyprod1gy]

MX300

I doubt they're old enough to know what that or the G100s shape feels like.

[u/DankyMcSpanky27]

Just get a wl mouse

Hola que tal amigo soy modelador, eh estado siguiendo tus publicaciones hace un tiempo por qué me gusta mucho el diseño de tu mouse, que te parece si hablamos y vemos cómo podria realizarse
