Fully functional 3D-printed mousepad

Real mousepad-like surface providing actual grip, with the option of hard plastic top surface

In order to achieve this surface, you must print using the settings in the provided profiles (specifically no top layers and 50% Gyroid infill on the TPU part). 

TPU 85A is also required to get good grip. Harder TPU will make the mousepad slide easier.

Multimaterial profiles have also been provided, which includes a modelled diagonal striped pattern between the materials to ensure that the parts stick together. 0,6mm nozzles require the specific 0,6mm buildplates, as this pattern needs to match the nozzle size.

Dual Nozzle printers are recommended for the dual material version. Single nozzle printers are also capable of printing this, but will require a manual material change. Simply mark that the TPU is externally fed when sending the print. 

Happy printing!
