Hi Again! We had a request for Mardi Gras themed and thought it could be fun to sneak a quick little pack in while we finish up the final two packs for this month! This pack contains a Fleur De Lis as well as a few different mask clickers! I am super happy with how this pack turned out and hope they add a little fidgeting fun to your Mardi Gras celebrations! ⚜️🎭

Updates

02-24-25: Updated the Mardi Gras Mask with the new base design. It was accidentally released with the old design, Sorry! πŸ˜¬

Like most of my designs, this is a clicky design that requires a mechanical keyboard switch to make the clicky part. These models feature a universal base design which has been tested with many keyboard switches and 99% of them work! I have an up to date list of verified clickers with links you can find HERE. This design should be compatible with most MX style keyboard switches, however, the two metal contacts on the bottom of the switch must be clipped off flush (or folded over) to ensure the switch seats properly in the base (this is a destructive process).  

This pack contains 3 unique base shapes and 4 unique caps. Raised variants are offered where able. Each base comes in the standard 7mm, 3.5mm diameter and blank keychain configuration.

Photo Colors 🎨

Green - Elegoo Sea Green

Purple - Polyterra Lavender Purple

Yellow - Hatchbox True Yellow

3D Printing Settings:

Layer Height: 0.2mm (recommended)

External Perimeter (Outer Wall): 0.33mm (recommended)

First Layer Extrusion Width (Initial Layer Line Width): 0.35mm (recommended)

Only one wall on first layer: True (recommended)

Scale: 100% (Everything is modeled with tight tolerances and should not need to be resized)

Orientation: Print the caps face down so you have a smooth surface for clicking! (recommended for flat)

NOTE: I've found the best way to get the most crisp details on these clickers is to start with the smallest details first and work up from there. Here is the order I recommend after LOTS of trial and error:

Small Detail (Dots, Lines)

Medium Detail (Feathers , Eyes)

Everything Else (Base Colors)

I've also found hitting the print with a heat gun right before the main body color starts printing will eliminate any little strings that can cause blemishes on the final design (flat designs ONLY)

⚠️WARNING⚠️ - This pack requires very good bed adhesion to ensure the best possible results for your finished clicker. It is recommended to clean your bed with soap and water before printing or whatever your specific printer manufacturer recommends for a deep bed clean!

Stay Pawsitive! 🐾

I had an idea for a clicker: cosmic brownie/little debbie cake clickers. Base, faceplate and have the candies connect to the switches.

These came out really cute, but I'm having trouble getting the switches in. It just sits on top, so there's a gap between the cap and base. I did use the settings you recommended. Do you have any suggestions on how to get them to sink in more?

Are you clipping off the metal leads on the bottom of the clicker?

martygirl35

Yes. My husband snipped them. The switch is just too big to fit in the cavity. Do you think I should adjust the x-y hole compensation?

Pawpular Prints

Hmm I don't think you need to do that. Is there any way you can send me a picture of the clicker in the base to support@pawpularprints.com? Pictures make troubleshooting much easier!

Is it the base for the mask (with feathers)? It looks like the base is not the universal base for other switches but the other two bases are. I find that if its the old version that it won't fit switches universally. I've been having to pay attention to what models have the universal base so I'm not printing them with the switches that I have from Glorious Gaming.

Pawpular Prints

Hmm, I'll have to double check after work and see if I uploaded something wrong! These should all be the new base

martygirl35

Yes, it's the mask with feathers. I haven't tried the other ones yet.

Pawpular Prints

Shoot.. try a different one and I'll get that updated tonight after work!
