Published February 28, 2022

One and a half year after the first published version, David announced the third iteration of his 4x6 Dactyl with an integrated trackball, the Track Beast – this time printed in resin.

I was blown away by the quality of the resin print (which was my first attempt with resin) – crufia.

According to the author, he mostly followed the same steps from this build log of the Track Beast.
