A simple 'slide in' grip to hold NES controllers and alikes.
Printed with 0.4 mm nozzle and top face ironing and fuzzy skin to prevent slipping on sweaty hands :)
To achieve a nice shape I recommend using variable layer height, 0.08 mm for top and bottom and 0.28 mm for in between. This will balance quality of shape and printing time.
With 2 walls, 2 layer top/bottom and standard infill, this print will take about 1.5 h
I've used ABS because of the feel of the material. PETG and PLA or even TPU will work fine too.
Since I've found that these type of controller varies a lot in width I highly recommend doing a small test print like shown in photos to check whether your controller will fit and then adjust x-scaling accordingly. (use the split object function of your slicer) This will address any shrinkage or tolerance issues as well.
The test print should slip onto the controller without force and without bending and should stay there without any help. Then the final part should work very well, the controller slides in a bit reluctantly but this ensures a perfect fit without being too tight and preventing the controller from moving.
Slide the controller into the grip, do not push it down from the top.
