Hi, my Librem 15 Version 4 trackpad has begun peeling and showing a glossy black surface underneath. I started scratching the rest of the coating off to make it look uniform but it’s time consuming and messy and it doesn’t look that good.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and covered the trackpad with a skin or sticker that they can recommend? I don’t want to replace the trackpad and have the same problem again in a few years.
This is off the wall and maybe not a good answer, but: when I broke part of my Librem 5 and then ordered another one and broke it too, I was able to get the design for that part from the Librem 5 GitLab and then order a 3D printed replacement from a 3D print site, which I have used ever since then because it’s a different material and is therefore seemingly indestructable.
Do you know if there’s a place on GitLab to download the physical designs of Librem 15 in a 3D printable format?
It’s a good answer. I was thinking about getting the measurements and submitting them to a custom shop but I thought maybe someone here might have experienced the same issue and know of a shop that produces trackpad skins for the L15.
There is an Etsy seller who does custom orders. Does Purism list the exact dimensions of the trackpad anywhere? I would like to be as precise as possible.
The bird that sharpens its beak once every thousand years on your trackpad finally wore it down!
Yep my 15v4 also is like this, but way worse than the 14 in the photo. I’m gonna get a trackpad sticker too. Dimensions look like 105x74mm, and the corners have about the same curvature as a credit card. Someone on Amazon called BoxWave sells a clear protector in case anyone is worried about their trackpads flaking.
