Description

Update: My friend returned from his trip and said it worked great. I have received some comments that the latch is weak. If you redesign, please post. I have also added a separated top & bottom step files so you can print in 2 pieces for smaller beds. It's a 2mm hole for the hinge so 1.75mm PLA melted on both sides might work. Or, you could use M2 screws. I haven't tried it. Please post if you do.

I made this controller case for a friend who keeps his Legion Go screen in a separate sleeve, but didn't want the controllers banging around in a backpack. The connector piece is labeled left and right for easy of orientation when connecting to controllers. Controllers go upside down on pegs. I just gave it to him and he's headed on a big trip so we will see how it wears.

This is my first attempt at a clamshell box type design.

Great job on this one! Printed on the x1 with no issues, everything fits like a glove. Thank you!

The connector slides on and off very smoothly without controllers attached, with controllers attached to the connector it gets stuck on the pegs while trying to pull the controllers out - have to force the controllers up quite a lot. Perhaps this could work better with round pegs instead? Otherwise a very nice and quality design, you did a great job! I could not get the connector to print upright (failure at 80% with multiple attempts), but it printer really well on it's side with tree supports that peeled off in one piece.

Thanks. I’ll have to take a look at that. I think I know what you mean. I actually turn them upside down and let them slide off. I don’t want too much slack or they will rattle around in the case. Also I think the type of material and printer may matter to the tolerances a bit so you may have to play with that.

@arcanazen

i like it a lot. You have shared the editable files from Fusion 360. Do you mind explaining how did you print it (like 1 single piece, supports, infill, etc.)? thanks.

Thanks. I need to do a print profile or 2 on it. I'm new to Maker World and just started uploading so still learning. Both pieces are printed using PLA with 20% infill. Since it is mostly walls, I think you could go anything from 15% on up. The Connector was printed standing on it's end with tree supports on bed only. The actual box was printed at a 45 degree angle on my 256x256 bed and it barely fit (pic attached in wrong color PLA to make it more visible). The hinges are designed to print in place so nothing special there. If your bed size can't handle the print at one time, I think you will need to redesign the hinge and print in 2 pieces.
