Retractable Joy-Con Ipad Holder

I developed this to allow me to play Steam Link on my Ipad to help finish some of my game backlogs.The Kit is design like a DIY toy, each part can be easily print/reprinted and assemble together like a toy. Developed from my interests in learning to fix stuffs over the years.

Should work on most iPad Sizes now.

This kit work with a simple elastic bands and hold together with 1 screw(M4 Screw Nut), both are things you can easily procure at your neighborhood hardware store.

UPDATE(22/03/2024)

• Optimize the STL file, improved the design of the Joycon rails part for better holding power.
• Increased the depth of the device holder part by 3mm to accommodate device with thicker cases.
• Slim down the sides to allow for use of L-Shape USB cable, allowing charging while playing.

UPDATE(28/09/2023)

• Extended both Joycon parts to cater for larger devices sizes, tested with my old Surface Pro 1.
• Optimize the STL file for High Speed and High Temperature printing.

IMPORTANT NOTED:
Please print the Both Joycons Rail parts Vertically.
