Still needs some design corrections because I just didn't know how to properly do 3D print and industrial design but it works!

Really cool! Was it months to get the print right, or putting it all together?

Thank you! Designing was by far the longest part, I bought all the parts first then measured everything and made the 3D models. Started with freecad but it was way too much for a beginner like me so I had to switch to fusion. Then printed test parts since for example the bottom frame takes like 20h to print and I had to cut a part, print it, see if it fits with the electronics (for example trackball seat) Then I designed the art which was going on top of it, I downloaded 3d scans from sketchfab and arranged them together. Then I had like 5 failed prints for several reasons, each took like a day and many parts I had to print again because it'd not fit or not print properly (since I'm such a noob lol) Then I tried many times to fix the charging without any success, ordered many parts from aliexpress which didn't work. it's still a work on progress but after 4 months I'm a bit burnt out so I'll give myself a bit of rest before I fix the remaining problems :)
