<p>This is a remix from <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4745565">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4745565</a> (by Hodgepodge_Foxe).</p> <p>Thanks to Hodgepodge_Foxe for providing the f3d files:</p> <p>"Somewhere up in the 3d printing heavens, there is a choir of angels 2000 deep singing praise to you for providing STEP and original CAD files."-- awdemuth March 21, 2022</p> <hr/> <p>May 9, 2022</p> <p>Replaced L and R with the Oculus logo</p> <p>I recently bought a Quest 2 and continue to play BeatSaber a lot. My two Quest 1 controllers sometimes collide violently in my hands, it didn't kill them but I want to do something about it.</p> <p>But I don't have TPU, and I don't want to buy a roll of TPU just for this (I heard they love moisture in the air when storing) so I tried to remix the f3d files.</p> <p>Thanks for the f3d file provided, I tried a few different things with PLA (like splitting the shell in the middle and rejoining them with M1×4 screws), however, I quickly realized that the original design was not far from being useable with hard plastic (PLA/ABS/PETG), so only minor adjustments are implemented:</p> <ol> <li>Reduced the angle of the bottom flange to allow the controller to squeeze through.</li> <li>Scale the model up to 100.5%, for more forgiving contact.</li> </ol> <p>I ended up printing mine in blue and orange PLA, a very cheap (about $25CAD a kilo) filament I got from <a href="https://www.amazon.com?linkCode=ll2&amp;tag=thingiverse09-20&amp;linkId=e4759bff1fa9a55a0f897d801ce2d765&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl">Amazon</a>. PETG and ABS will definitely perform better than PLA, some of which are too brittle.</p> <p>I would recommend printing this with<strong>two perimeters</strong>, this will leave a cavity between the inner and outer wall, which will make squeezing a little easier when putting the controller in, and leave a buffer for impact.</p> <p>I tested them by playing BeatSaber, and from what I see, regular hole sizes will not affect tracking accuracy.</p> <p>I tried PETG, they were softer and easier to install, but they were stringing badly, guess I will stick with PLA.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Voron 0.1</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>Doesn't Matter</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.1 or 0.2</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>0%</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> XINGTONGZHILIAN PLA <p>Orange &amp; Blue</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong></p> </p><div><p>I don't currently have any colored PETG, but I believe PETG will perform better than ABS and better than PLA.<br/> In any case, I have initially verified it works with PLA, which is relatively brittle, any material with better impact resistance than PLA should do better. </p></div></p></p> Category: Gadgets
