This mod uses the Logitech G305 PCB. Here are some renders, measurements, and example of a print.

Cables I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RHVNFQ6

Battery I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QW531W2

-There are likely multiple combinations of chargers and batteries that work. These are the ones I use. The battery matters less than the connector since they'll only vary in weight and battery life. If you get a different battery make sure it's 1.5v.

I have a YouTube video going over the slicing instructions and where everything goes if you prefer video format:

Here are the printing orientations I use. I've printed this on an Artillery Genius in PLA. My slicer is Superslic3r and I use some very basic 0.2mm profiles. The main points are to use "External Perimeters First" on the Bottom piece and I'd also suggest you "Avoid Crossing Perimeters".

I print the top piece between 55-85 degree rotation.

I manually paint supports mainly and I would avoid automatically generated ones unless you set the parameters yourself.

Your settings may vary but I have provided the settings I've sliced this at on my printer.

The order for assembly is as follows:

Magnets

G305 Main PCB

G305 Main PCB Screws

Side Button Screws

Side Buttons into place with magnets. Place them backwards in their slots and rotate inwards into place

Main Button Switch PCBs

Main Button Switch PCB screws

Side Button PCB. Take care to move the wiring through the path in the provided pictures as it can get in the way.

Battery Holder with Magnets

Top with Magnets

You'll use 10 magnets. 6 go on the bottom piece, 2 go on the top piece, and 1 each go in the side buttons.

I recommend you double check which side they're all facing and then once verified glue them in place to avoid any rattle.

As far as screws go you'll need to put the G305 PCB into place and screw it in using only the 3 highlighted screw holes. The fourth is too difficult to reach so leave it be. Screw into each Side Button and the two holes in the Top piece as well. I screw it in as far as it goes and then back them out around 1-2 turns. You'll want to play with this distance to adjust pre-travel on each switch.

When doing this process you'll want to remove the side button PCB. It can be difficult, so use something as a level under the front and push up gently (I used flush cutters in the picture).
