Trackball Replacement Cup with Bearings

I’ve also got 1.5mm bearings and am curious as if they’ll have a different feel as well. So I’m currently printing a variant as well to test.

My settings changed for the test are:
bearing_dia = 1.5
cup_dia = 26.5
bearing_fit_dia = bearing_dia + 0.20;
cup_thickness = 5.2;

EDIT:
Just testing out the 1.5mm bearing variant. The settings work and the ball is held. Though not certain it’s any quieter (and may actually be louder) than the 2.5mm ones. Though with the smaller bearings it’s possible that some superglue got on the outside, and in removing it I scratched the contact point? Either way these settings do work and work quite well. It might just be that the other one “wore in” removing and surface debris and got quieter. I’l probably leave it in though.
