I felt the Piantor needed a foot pedal, a glidepoint, some rgbs, and a little baby macro pad. So here we are.
I created an 8% tent solution and supporting wrist rests.
Then added a glide point to eliminate the need for mouse.
For meeting mode, I added this little macropad to handle all the volume and video sharing controls.
Then thought it’d be interesting to see how a foot pedal could be incorporated into the daily driver and possibly minimize keystrokes.
So far, a fun build, the glide point is a little tricking to get into scroll mode and for mouse clicks. Still reviewing those settings. The jury is still out on the foot pedel, I’ve never used one before so it feels a bit unorthodox. Thought I’d share.

I did alter it a bit, maybe enough to warrant a remix version. I split the model from two to three pieces. I found the distance between the sensor and ball to be very sensitive and a mm would take it from being great to being unusable. Since I used a Kensington ball and not a pool ball, having a third section allowed me to dial in that distance without having to reprint the entire top. It also removed an overhand that would have otherwise needed printing supports.
I’d be interested in seeing the updated model. I did notice that my model was pretty sensitive so I just dialed down the sensitivity in my mouse settings.
