Let me introduce the “PC-Engine Controller Plug Strain Reliefer”, a small friction-fit slide over model, which houses the PC-Engine Controller plug to reduce mechanical stresses due to gravity. 

Took me 4 test prints with some back and forth fiddling in CAD to dial in the tolerances for a perfect fit, but I am very happy with the end result!

There are two variants of the model so far:

  1. Model with “arrow“ engraving on top surface inspired by the original controller plug design
  2. Model with no „arrow“ engraving

 

Printing instructions:

Recommended settings which I used and worked perfectly:

  • Print orientation as shown in pictures showing renderings
  • Layer height 0.2mm
  • 20% infill (I used gyroid type)
  • Maybe reduce printing speed due to lower footprint (I reduced speed to 20mm/s)
  • Use a brim 

Using these settings, printing took 2h15min on my printer.
