1/8" Plywood - I like using wood, but there's no reason you couldn't use acrylic, MDF or anything else.

3D Printing Filament - I used black Hatchbox PLA, but use whatever you like!.

Micro SD Card Reader - If your computer doesn't have a SD Card Reader, you'll need one of these.

Pocket NC - If you plan to use this as a jog wheel, you'll need to have a Pocket NC! I'd love to get this working on other CNC machines, such as a Shapeoko, Nomad and others, but I'd need to get my hands on them first.

I use it to heat threaded inserts into the 3D printed plastic.

Soldering Iron - You can get cheaper ones than this one, especially for the purposes in this tutorial, but this is the one that I own and it works great.

Wire strippers - These are for attaching wires to your rotary encoder.

Screw driver - My screws were Philips heads, but if you go with a different head, you'll need something else.

You could also use painter's tape to cover the wood before laser cutting, but a quick sand looks better either way.

Sand paper - I used a quick pass of 150 grit sand paper to get rid of the scorch marks from the laser cutting.

If you preorder a Glowforge after using this link you can get $100 off.

Laser Cutter - I used a friend's Epilog Mini, but I hope to get my Glowforge soon.

3D Printer - I used my Makerbot Replicator 2.

Feel free to reach out with questions for more details if you'd like to go with something else. What you'll needīelow I've listed what I used for this project, but throughout the tutorial I explain how an alternative could feasibly be used.

Finally, I'll show you how to back up your Pocket NC, then how to install the new user interface.

The brain of the mouse wheel will be an Arduino, which I'll show you how to code so it will send the mouse wheel events over USB. Then we'll 3D print the main enclosure, laser cut a top and bottom for the enclosure and assemble the electronics of the jog wheel. We'll start by designing an enclosure in Fusion 360, where I'll walk you through some parametric modeling. We'll create our own USB mouse wheel that is more reminiscent of a jog wheel. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to address both of these issues by installing a new user interface on the Pocket NC that works through your web browser and also allows you to use your mouse wheel as a jog wheel.

Hooking up to your own laptop is ideal, but the problems with X forwarding can be especially frustrating. The most awesome part about the Pocket NC is its form factor and having to hook up a display, keyboard, and mouse adds some undesired bulk to the workbench, while also adding the hassle of having to transfer gcode over USB sticks. To get it to run, you either need to hook up a keyboard, mouse and display to the machine (the easiest method), or enable X forwarding over ssh to your computer which has different issues on every OS. If you own a Pocket NC, you know just how awesome it is, but there are a couple quirks about it that leave you wanting more.įirst, it doesn't have a jog wheel, which isn't a huge deal, but not having to worry about misclicking the jog button on the screen while your attention is on the material or tool would be very convenient. Second, its user interface is the default interface, called Axis, provided by the open source project LinuxCNC. It was successfully kickstarted a couple years ago and they're now going strong, having already completed a second kickstarter for a different machine while continuing to make Pocket NCs. It's the only 5-axis milling machine on the market under $60,000 and the Pocket NC rings up at a fraction of that at only $4,900. The Pocket NC is an amazing piece of machinery. The Pocket NC is a 5-axis desktop CNC machine made by a Bozeman-based company also called Pocket NC. If you don't have a Pocket NC, the design and Arduino portions can still apply to you if you're interested in making a mouse wheel. It also explains how to use your mouse wheel as a jog wheel for the Pocket NC. This tutorial explains how to use an Arduino and a rotary encoder to make your own mouse wheel and how to design an enclosure for it using Fusion 360.
