Xbox Controller Light Blocker - Obsolete

prusaprinters

<p>Obsolete as of January 2022 - Your X box one console now has a setting called dark mode, among which controls include dimming or turning out the light on the controller and the one on the front panel of the console.</p><p>--------------</p><p>In the dark, some folks are very sensitive to the super bright light on the Xbox One controller. &nbsp;I have thought about taking the controller apart and modifying the X button, but controllers can be difficult to take apart and reassemble without breaking. &nbsp;So I took a different approach here.</p><p>Prints in minutes. &nbsp;Set this onto your Xbox One lighted button with a little bit of adhesive such as double sided tape or glue. &nbsp;Once the adhesive sets up, the light dimmer reduces the light that comes through in the dark, but the lighted button is still visible (as shown). &nbsp;To remove it, pop it off with a knife. &nbsp;I tested removing my PETG light blockers after two days, having used a good plastic glue. &nbsp;Popped right off. &nbsp;For even easier removal, use white glue (but the drying time is several hours for white glue). &nbsp;While that isn't quite snap-on, you want the light block to hang in there after several thousand button push cycles.</p><p>Fits Xbox One controllers (tested) and may be fine for other controllers.</p><p>I printed mine in PETG, and tried red, green and finally landed on black because it gave the most brightness relief. &nbsp;For easier removal (depends on the adhesive you use), you might want to use PLA which doesn't glue to anything well.</p><p>Four of them (as found in the .3mf) print in 5 minutes. &nbsp;Each controller only needs one. &nbsp;Printing 4 at a time helps manage inter-layer heat, as the part is quite thin. &nbsp;You can always use any extras as tiddly winks.</p><p>I printed mine at .1mm fine detail resolution just to get more layers. &nbsp;If you want to reduce the amount of light further, just increase the layer thickness. &nbsp;Do not scale, or the button won't depress any more.</p>
