Brad LinderPloopy Classic 2 is an upgraded trackball mouse available as a DIY kit or fully assembledPloopy has made a name for itself over the past few years by offering a line of customizable trackball mice with open source designs that allow you 3D print or modify your own device.Since launching its first trackball in 2019, Ploopy has followed up with several additional designs for different trackball styles. Last year the company even introduced a TrackPad.

PloopyThis great <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> Adept build is from r/hainguyenac on Reddit. It's a custom wireless build, with a custom printed case.r/hainguyenac also designed and made the red macropad - it's got an aluminum case.

Phil LamI recently spent some time trying to figure out which NAICS code best describes what <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ploopy</a> does, and I'd say the result rated a "passed because the prof couldn't be arsed to deal with failing me" grade.Then I read a piece about how NAICS codes get used in census data, and now I'm concerned.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Industry_Classification_System" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Industry_Classification_System</a>

ColinThe <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#raspberrypi</a> RP2040 is a great chip. We use it in our <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> Headphones. If you've ever wondered why we use it, or how such a cheap chip can produce a 20-band EQ, here's a primer on the RP2040 and how it makes the Headphones go:<a href="https://blog.ploopy.co/rp2040-the-little-engine-that-could-96" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.ploopy.co/rp2040-the-little-engine-that-could-96</a>

I already switch the whole button layout to my personal favour :)

PloopyThis is a great build from ianm, a member of the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> Discord server.They also shared the following: "just want to give the community thanks for making the adept opensource and also the modding team. finally finished my wireless adept now trying to figure out how to make the 2 halves act as peripherals of the trackball."Thanks, ianm!Original message link here: <a href="https://discord.com/channels/1119347467545219143/1138670557638971433/1348583735188127756" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://discord.com/channels/1119347467545219143/1138670557638971433/1348583735188127756</a>

Andy Warburton ❌❌❌Any <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3dprinting</a> folks have a source for a DIY computer speaker set? Just small and ideally usb powered. Don’t need anything monster sized, just enough to cross the “better than built-in monitor speakers” line. If it will support a small company like <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ploopy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/headamame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#headamame</a> even better!

ColinWe've been experimenting with a new process to insert chips into PCBs. Here's a full technical writeup on our process and how it impacts the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> kits that we ship out:<a href="https://blog.ploopy.co/using-spring-contact-principles-with-chip-pcb-interfaces-170" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.ploopy.co/using-spring-contact-principles-with-chip-pcb-interfaces-170</a>

PloopyThese amazing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3dprint</a> mods for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> Adept were made by <a href="https://mastodon.social/@Magas_Corada" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Magas_Corada</a>! The pattern on the face of the purple Adept was made using a holographic print sheet. The more exotic-looking Adept is a BTU-mod print, made using multi-colour filament with a steel ball bearing.Thanks for sharing, <a href="https://mastodon.social/@Magas_Corada" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Magas_Corada</a>!

PloopyThis is an unvarnished look at the process of getting a kit from us, posted by r/slipperyp on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> subreddit.The box itself was in rather poor condition and took a roundabout way to get to their house, but it made it!Full post from r/slipperyp is here: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ploopy/comments/1ir2p4h/comment/mdjqy9t/?context=3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/ploopy/comments/1ir2p4h/comment/mdjqy9t/?context=3</a>

PloopyHere's an incredibly practical and accessible mod for the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> Adept by <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/@ddrake" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ddrake</a>: grip tape on the buttons, and a nice piece of oak wood to use as a wrist rest to match the logo!Thanks, Dan!

ColinWe have an official shop account: <a href="https://mastodon.social/@ploopy" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@ploopy</a>!From now on, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> announcements about design releases, showcases featuring builds by our community members, and open-source contributions from hackers working on our designs will be posted there.I'll continue posting links to things I write on our blog, which will usually be inside looks at how we run the shop.

Hippo 🍉I'm glad <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Ploopy</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MNT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MNT</a> are selling in their local currencies because if they were priced in US dollars they'd have just got a bit less affordable 🤑(I wonder if the same holds for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Tangara" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Tangara</a>?)<a href="https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-economics/rupee-fall-dollar-record-low-reason-impact-9815011/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-economics/rupee-fall-dollar-record-low-reason-impact-9815011/</a>

ColinThis <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> Trackpad was made by Mennenth! They sanded down the original case and put a vinyl sticker on the front. They say that "sanding also improves the feel of the base surface, at least imo and for me, I really like the feel of the matte vinyl".You can find Mennenth on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Mennenth" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@Mennenth</a>

ColinThis is an amazing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ploopy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ploopy</a> Adept build by Danny Howard! It's inspired by the Commodore 64. Really showcases what an <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> design combined with a passion for 3D-printing can do!Find Danny on Reddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/_MusicManDan_/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/user/_MusicManDan_/</a>Or on Instagram: Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/_musicmandan_/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/_musicmandan_/</a>
