With some minor sanding this grip will fit a DS Lite.
Original text:
Yet another ergonomic grip for the least popular iteration of a handheld… I’m really quite happy with this one, it’s much simpler and more elegant than the one I made for Vita. No retention peace or anything like that, just plain old friction to hold it in place. The only thing covered-up is the SD-slot but that really shouldn’t bother anyone.
I used superglue to put the peaces together and some adhesive pads for a bit of extra friction. I highly recommend water sanding with (at least) grits 120 and 240.
Print Settings
Printer Brand:
Ultimaker
Printer:
Ultimaker 2
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
220 microns
Infill:
10% Zig Zag, 1 step granular infill (bottom peace)
Notes:
Printing with PLA, 3 shells (1.2mm) seems appropriate, resulting in a strong print with plenty of margin for post-process sanding.
I like printing these sorts of shapes with concentric top bottom patterns, although be forewarned that the flat (roof) bit on the bottom peace requires quite a bit of infill for concentric to turn out well and the more top layers the better.
