There are a great many holders out there, so why make one more?
I wanted to experiment to see if I could make one I liked a little better.
This particular holder fits the controller nearly perfect.
The back is exactly matched for the flat area on the back of the controller. Yes, it will work with Elites!
The height is just perfect to cover the whole of the controller with a little lip peaking out (this is just for general appearance.)
The controller hands down with a hang that is my general taste.
It has a 60 degree slant, enough to give the controller a pivot and keep it well placed.
The “lip” comfortable grips and holds the controller in place (I am surprised at how well and this has been a feature people I’ve shown found somewhat satisfying!)
And finally, it is 6mm thick which really gives it a body that is nice but not chunky. A happy medium.
I actually now use this for a “base” for controller holders. I have made an “Overwatch” version where I have a translucent Orange on a Grey back ground that is friction fit and it looks nice enough (not nice enough to post but definitely hope it gives others ideas.)
If you print one, please leave a comment on what you like, didn’t like, and if you have any functional suggestions (but please make sure to have actually printed one so I can utilize functional data.)
NOTE: There are only a handful of things I would do to make this better.
Produce a “magnetic” version with magnets in the base to stick to metal surfaces/plates.
Place rubber feet on this (I am actually doing this one for a few I’m making for friends.)
Integrate my design into a headphone holder which will likely be a future endeavor. (I just need to get the “screw” process down in Fusion 360, as easy as it is supposed to be.)
