## What it is
Orbion is an open-source DIY 3D Space Mouse (6-DOF input device) that users build at home with 3D-printed parts, a joystick, encoder, and Arduino-compatible firmware. It emulates a 3Dconnexion-style controller for navigating CAD and 3D sculpting software like Fusion 360, SolidWorks, and Blender.

## Use cases
- build a diy 3d space mouse at home
- 3d navigation device for fusion 360
- cheap alternative to 3dconnexion spacemouse
- 6dof controller for blender sculpting
- 3d printed input device for cad orbit and pan
- flash firmware for diy space mouse

## When to choose
- you want a low-cost, open-source 3D mouse for CAD work and own a 3D printer
- you enjoy DIY electronics builds and want a customizable input device
- you use Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Blender, or similar and need orbit/pan navigation

## When to avoid
- you need a plug-and-play commercial device with warranty and support
- you don't have access to a 3D printer or soldering skills
- you need guaranteed compatibility with niche CAD software
