The reason I created this mount was because I liked parts from either one, but I couldn’t decide between them. So I decided to combine them and iterate on them further.
Ideally, you’d want to print this in PLA so the mount can flex around the controller as you’re putting it on. Let me know if other materials work fine with it.
After joining the two pieces together and doing a test print, I made the following changes:
Slimmed down the mount and levelled it so it can be printed sideways for optimal strength
Added a square lip to the bottom of the controller so it’ll be easier to remove
Removed a hole in the back so you can charge the controller without having to remove the mount
Improved the fit between the clip hole and the phone mount by making it a bit wider
Included a Tapered version of the clip in case you find it too tough to fit in.
Use the “Lay Flat” option in your slicer just to make sure it’s fully flat on the side
You may need to clear the support inside the hole, you can do this using Cura’s “support blocker”, or with most other slicing programs
You can also scale the clip to whatever size you need, and it’s such a small part so you won’t have to worry about wasting plastic for it.
Overall I’d say I’m very happy with the modifications I’ve made. It’s become my ideal controller and I hope you enjoy it too.

Notes:
The support type I chose was “Touching Buildplate” in Cura. I didn’t have to manually block the support at all using this mode with my printer.
Printed using PLA. The PLA I used was “Real Filament 8719128325040 Real PLA, Spool of 1 kg, 1.75 mm, Gold”
I used 3 walls, and 4 top layers.
Use a brim if needed.
