Rock Band and Guitar Hero setup for Alesis Nitro / Roll Limitless / DualShock 4

thingiverse

I use the Roll Limitless adapter with my Alesis Nitro electronic drum kit to play Rock Band and Guitar Hero on my PlayStation. The Nitro is the sweet spot for feature/price in the e-drum world, with a new kit costing about as much as a RB/GH controller on eBay. Plus it's actually a real drum kit! The Roll Limitless system is great, but it's a black box just sitting on the ground so I wanted to mount it on the Nitro. The DualShock was also just floating about so an adapter for that was necessary too. (I found all of the DS4 cradles on Thingiverse to not fit well, so I made my own and it's really snug, and has a nice 20 rearward angle that makes the controller easily visible from the drum throne and doesn't require you to take it out of the cradle to hit the buttons.) The system clamps to the Nitro frame with features that lock into the slots. All the hardware is 1/4-20, you can use 0.625" for everything with standard nuts or low-profile nylocks. The model has features that allow the nuts to snap into place for retention. A 3mm or 1/8" zip tie helps keep the USB cable for the DS4 controller in place. A 2m / 6ft MIDI cable connects the Nitro to the RL box. Use a really long USB cable to get to your PlayStation. The Roll Limitless box sits just fine in the tray, but I've left slots for a standard velcro loop. Accepts up to 25mm / 1" width and you should use at least 300mm / 12" length. Print two of the clamp parts on their side (with the zip tie feature at the bottom) without support. For this part, use at least 4 walls and 30% infill to make sure the slots for the 1/4-20 nuts are strong enough. The other parts can be 2 wall and 15% infill. The DS4 cradle is the only thing that actually needs supports. Feel free to remix this for XBox!
