PS5 DualSense Controller Phone Mount – Bigger, Stronger, Still 100% Printed

All 3D printed. No AMS. No glue. No Bill of Materials. No AI.

This is the new version of a phone mount I published on Printables back in 2022. https://www.printables.com/model/479716-ps5-dualsense-controller-phone-mount 

Here's the problem: it's 2026 now, and phones have quietly turned into small tablets. Every year they get bigger, heavier.

After quite a few messages, requests and variations of “Can you make it fit my phone?”, I finally decided it was time for a proper redesign.

The new version can handle larger and heavier smartphones — and yes, per a genuinely unexpected request, a PS Vita Slim 2000.

WHAT ACTUALLY WENT INTO THE REDESIGN:

The main screw uses an ACME thread — big pitch, trapezoidal profile, the same thread form used on lead screws and machine vices

There's a small collar at the base of the screw thread, purely to reinforce the point where it connects — that junction takes the most stress, so it gets a bit of extra material insurance.

For the angle-adjustment mechanism, however, I deliberately switched back to a metric thread. Here I don't need speed or high clamping travel — I need finer control, so the phone angle can be locked exactly where it feels comfortable.

All thread flanks use a 0.1 mm offset, providing the small amount of functional clearance needed for a printed mechanism to move smoothly without becoming excessively loose.

The body also uses embossed/recessed geometry rather than being one big lump of plastic. It is not only there for appearance. The geometry removes unnecessary material, reduces weight and creates rib-like structures that improve mechanical stiffness.

The little notches in the gripping jaws are not print errors — please don't message me about that. They're there on purpose, as a contact point so narrower phones still sit securely. They couldn't be made any taller, because a thicker lip would start covering more of the screen than anyone would tolerate. Tested on multiple phone widths — they do their job.

Finally, fuzzy skin on the visible surfaces, purely cosmetic — it hides the layer lines and gives it that "came out of a factory, not off a hobbyist's desk" look. You migght add a modifier on the PSP logo area (no fuzzy skin) to keep it visible. 

Material: PETG or PC strongly recommended — this part takes real clamping load, this isn't a PLA job.
