HyperX Pulsefire Saga - Shells and Buttons - Official

Hey there! Chances are, you're the proud new owner of the Pulsefire Saga or Pulsefire Saga Pro (or maybe even both!). We wanted to provide you with the STL and STP files for your mouse's out-of-box parts as well as some bonus shapes and variations to get you started on your personalization journey.

The parts you can find here are as follows:

• Mouse Body 1: Same body that is included in the box, optimized for printability
• Mouse Body 1 Thumb Rest: Mouse Body 1, but with an added thumb rest
• Mouse Body 2: Same body that is included in the box, optimized for printability
• Mouse Body 2 Thumb Rest: Mouse Body 2, but with an added thumb rest
• Concave Button Covers: Same buttons that are included in the box, optimized for printability
• Convex Button Covers: Same buttons that are included in the box, optimized for printability
• Side Buttons: Example side buttons, optimized for printability
• Symmetrical shape: Example symmetrical shape
• Minimal shape: Small basic shape
• Subtraction Body: A tool body you can use to make your own shape! More info below
• Chassis: Provided for reference purposes to help visualize the shape before printing

You will also notice that the shapes have a variant called “Flat Butt.” We found that removing the bottom portion of the model and printing it in a vertical orientation yields the best results without sacrificing the intended feel. This also eliminates the need for support structures. See below for an example reference.

Suggested Print Settings

• Filament: PLA
• Walls: 2
• Top and Bottom Layers: 3
• Infill: 5%
• Infill Pattern: Adaptive Cubic

We found these settings to be the best trade-off between strength and weight, but feel free to try any settings or materials you like.

Assembly and Installation

Option A: Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws from the out-of-box component(s) and screw them directly into the 3D printed part.

Option B: If you prefer to leave the hardware attached to the out-of-box part, we've listed the dimensions of the factory hardware used. The 4.8mm diameter head can be substituted for a 3.8mm head.

• Side Buttons and Button Covers: M2.0x3.0 ultra thin flat head screws (3.8mm diameter head)
• Body: M2.0x3.0 ultra thin flat head screws (4.8mm diameter head)

Note: Avoid stainless steel and aluminum screws. Screws need to be attracted to magnets.

Subtraction Body

Want to create your own mouse body from scratch? Awesome! You can use this tool to focus on the shape of your custom mouse without worrying about the internal dimensions. Once you are happy with your shape, you can perform a Boolean operation (“combine” in some CAD software) to “subtract” this shape from your custom shape. You may also need to slice the bottom of your custom shape flat to match the bottom plane of the chassis.

Note: this tool will make a very tight fit. If your 3D printer is not well-tuned and dimensionally accurate, you may need to manually add some tolerance.

Example from blender:

Custom Shape

How the Custom Shape will fit the Chassis

Overlay the Custom Shape and Subtraction Body, and perform a Boolean Difference Modifier between the two objects. This will hollow out the Custom Shape allowing it to mate with the chassis component.

Note About Printing Buttons

Printing the button covers can be challenging. We recommend printing this part in a vertical orientation with “tree” or “organic” supports.

You may experience inconsistencies printing the portion of the button cover that engages with the switch and chassis housing. This inconsistency varies from printer to printer.

Because of the fine tolerances required of this part, you may need to adjust these faces for best results. We recommend making adjustments in 0.5mm steps. Fine tune and/or use coarse grit sand paper as needed.

Personalization and Post-Processing

Combine multi-color prints, specialized filaments, sanding, painting, and stenciling to create something truly your own. Don't be afraid to experiment and have fun!
