3d design for a dual controller coupler

[Geotrick]

This has not been printed yet.

 

I started this earlier today. I believe the measurements are correct for a controller but there are a few issues with the base and center section.

(you can't see the problem directly. I saw it with the makerware software).

The one on the right was the original that was copied to make the left holder.

This was a first attempt.

If you print this out let me know how it comes out.

Thanks

looks pretty cool i wonder if you could add some horizontal struts connecting the side supports for better palm comfort i like the little center skittle holder

There are small structs. It is basically a copy of the original.

I never thought of putting candy in that slot before (have to refill too often).

 

I use this (the original coupler) quite often and have never experienced discomfort.

There is some anti skid material on the bottom. I would just have it sit on a table surface, not trying to hold it.

 

I would be afraid to make it much bigger for palm comfort.

It now barely fits in a Makerbot.

I will try working on it again next weekend.

Ah, joystick couplers and 3D Printing. If only Skanect would've done well with scanning the infamous 7800 Joystick Coupler...
