Built myself controller holders
Using a 2x4 and some 3D printed objects, I was able to get my controllers hung up finally. I play on emulators and still enjoy many platforms. So to play on those systems I keep many controllers. But never really had a good place to store them.
This was my set up before. Just a shelf with them placed all around. This is not a good way to store controllers. As if the buttons and sticks are being laid on each other it can cause hardware problems.
I've spent alot of money on these controllers (My Nancon mostly) so I want to keep them in good shape. So having their own place I think is best. And maybe I can put this stand right by my computer to reach them easily. Since I ran out of hangers I just placed the last one up top. Need my friend @whangster79 to make me some more.
I broke one of the hangers trying to drive in a screw. So I had to drill out all the holes so they would not crack.
Installing went easy once drilled. I used some construction wood screws and carefully tightened them so they would not crack.
I tried driving in two screws but found them start to crack so I stopped and just stuck to single screws for each hanger.
Some pictures that @whangster79 took while making these for me.
When I sent him the link to the 3d object he downloaded it and brought it up on his machine. His software preps the object to be printed by his machine.
Since my friend worked hard to make these I want to share some of my rewards with him. This posts rewards will partly go to him. Hes made me many objects with his 3d printer and I really appreicate it.
I could definitely use some organization in my controller department. It's usually a mess.
Hehe yeah, I used to just have a bin I put them all in. But figured theres got to be a better way.
I almost read it as you building yourself a controller from scratch. That's one creative way to organize with 3D printers. Wouldn't be surprised if you posted about building holders for your head sets too XD
haha! nah im not that leet. I know people that do those kind of things. Like building a dactyl manuform.. too much for me at the moment.
You are a man with many talent sir, this is great. How did you manage to do all rhe things.
Thanks! Well just one step at a time. I have many projects going in my head, just takes time to actually finish them. This project took me about 2 months to finally finish as I kept putting it off for other things.
oh that's really great sir, it's great to keep your self busy.
I feel kind of lazy and I spend most of time at my laptop or my phone.
I am trying to leave this habits and trying to do a real work soon 😁
Good luck sir 🙏
Ah yeah you gotta be careful and not just consume media but create too. people forget this.
Works good ..could have made a right & left hook.. just 4 looks 😊👀
Yeah, its only one sided but luckily they all fit well regardless.
Woah! @whangster79 how big is that print bed on your creality? I have the Ender 3 and the pics from here make your print bed look GIGANTIC! That looks like it would be a great size for cosplay components over the smaller Ender3
@lacking hes in Taiwan right now so hes hard to reach. But I told him to reply to you when he can.
Hey lacking~~
Yea I have been out of the scene for a while and sorry for the late reply. The 3D printer is the Creality CR-10 Max. It has a print build size of 450450470mm which is perfect for cosplay parts built to scale. At the same time its much quieter than other regular size printers since the large size dampens much of the vibrations and noise. Let me know if you have any questions~ :)
