I have always wanted a way to display my controllers and handhelds that highlighted the displayed item, rather than the stand itself being the focus.

I also wanted a consistent look across all my displays, and it is almost impossible to find, unless you go for some of the expensive commercial solutions.

So my solution was to come up with a simple elegant system of various bases and uprights that suit many different devices, are very quick and simple to print, and can be easily disassembled for storage or transport.  The uprights simple press into the base, and can easily be removed and reused for another stand.

There are currently 6 unique base designs and 10 upright designs, and when combined, these currently support 25 different controllers and handheld devices (That I have tested, there are probably more.)

I have tested all combinations with my collection to ensure a correct and sturdy fit, and will add more as my collection grows!

Each printed piece is marked with a unique identifier, the bases with a letter on the underside, and the uprights with a number.

To work out which parts you need for each device, simply refer to this list:

For example, if you are looking for an Xbox 360 controller stand, you need base B, and uprights 1.  Each upright comes as a pair, with left and right, and is designed to be printed with the text side down, as I found this gives a cleaner finish.

Some examples are shown below:
