Steam Controller Steering Wheel Style Mount

thingiverse

I wanted a steering wheel mount for my Steam Controller. There are other, better, more complicated projects to achieve this, but I wanted something quickly that didn't require additional hardware, so I kind-of just hacked together two existing projects. (A clamp and a phone mount. See "remixed from" in the sidebar.) I wasn't planning on sharing this, but I was honestly surprised by how well it works and how good it "feels" as a control scheme. The only "extra hardware" needed is a rubber band to run through the shaft of the mount onto the hook on the clamp. This adds some tension and a small amount of centering force. (Gravity also helps with centering.) The mount is an awkward shape to print, so I apologize for that. I printed it in a shaft-upwards configuration which unfortunately resulted in a lot of support material. Be sure to completely remove the support material on the mount because if it's too tight it will prevent the grip switches from working properly.
