General tips

Printing

1. There MUST be no supports, unless you really know what you are doing.

2. PLA, PETG, ABS — any of those are fine.

3. If you experience bad tracking, you may want to print and install spacers.

Other

1. Insert magnets on a flat hard surface while the device is not assembled.

2. Cyanoacrylate (superglue) works nice for magnets.

3. If you are experiencing buttons sticking, try reassembling without the sensor cover.

57-68 mm ball (or 50-60 mm with spacers installed)

50-55 mm ball

Also available for non-standard BTUs: SP-8, Veichu-15.

If you use CY-8H Aliexpress BTUs, it is recommended to go with the 50-52.4mm version instead.
You can ignore the fact that it is deprecated in such a case.
That version (in combination with this BTUs) should work with a 55 mm ball too.
