Controller Tower
🕑 Added 2023-12-28 19:26:19 +0000 UTCThis Controller Tower is print in place, with 4 controller mounts, and two slots for Nintendo Switch controllers. You can use it to store and display almost any controller or headset.
For those of you that want to know what I printed this with: I used marble PLA.
After you print it, the hinges should swing freely, and you'll need to break the smaller hinges free with some pressure. You may notice some stringing inside the smaller hinges, which can be removed with some snips.
I have also included a version that has the base attached (the All-in-one) version) so you can print the whole thing in one go. It's a little less fun because it doesn't have the thread, but it's a more economical print for print sellers.

If its not printed on the side you will need supports. I was able to print it on its side just like shown and it worked well without any supports.

Interesting, so it falls out of the gap? How does the print quality look on the bottom surface?
I’ve printed twice and came out really good but the side that’s laying down the switch controller holder is loose and can’t hold the controller. Any advice on how to fill the gap to still utilize both switch holders? And tips for printing so I can avoid one size being bigger than the other? I’m on a Bambu a1
Not sure who needs to hear this but do NOT print on its side. It prints faster but you will never get the supports out of the threading for the base.

No you cannot print it standing up. It must be laid on it side. Try and see if it fits diagonally
I'm printing this on an Ender 3 and Have to print one piece at a time. Does the tower have to be printed long ways like in the video? My cura is slicing it to print tall which I think is only way for my size bed.

Yeah turn off your brim. What printer are you using?

So I printed this as you recommended and I even saw your video. For some reason the middle hinges are not popping out so I can clamp to hang. Do I need to turn off brim? Cos mine is on auto idky
