So today i started splitting the mouse i drew a spline that matches the profile of the mouse button cover, i then extruded the surface profile.

I then offset the surface of the mouse button surface inward by 2mm and trimmed the offset surface, using a sketch which is roughly about 1.5mm inward from the cover.

Thirdly I filled the extruded surface and the offset mouse button cover which created the surface that ill split the mouse with.

I went to fill the middle housing with the fill surface tool, however due to the surfaces being knitted incorrectly it wouldn’t work. Thanks to Dan, we managed to get that fixed. And by we i meant him!

I then went to split the middle housing from the mouse button cover, however when i try to split the part it creates some massive crater in the middle housing part. or if i change the settings on the split part the edges will become all messed up. So i’m deciding if i don’t managed to get this problem fixed on Friday at the last tute session i will have to restart the mouse body again. Which will be a pain, but it might just be easier.
