Description
This is a grip for the original Nintendo Wii Remote to turn it into a proper game pad when held sideways.
There are two version. The solid one is printable in one go and the Wii Remote is simply placed into the grip.
The multi part version is split in 3 parts with an additional optional 4th rubber inlay. This version will need four square M3 (5,5x2mm) nuts and four M3x20 coned screws (see image for details). The rubber inlay is optional and has to be printed in a soft filament but is not really needed. It just fixes the Wii Remote tighter in place. Also the multipart version makes nice color combinations possible that look really nice :-)

For a nice grippy feeling you can set a slight fuzzy skin on the outside. I chose 0.2m and 0.5mm on the top and bottom.
Print the top part with the inside facing to the print bed.
It is advisable to print a small portion of the parts first to see if it fits. I made this model so it would fit perfectly on my printer (MK3s). If something is to tight or to loose just write and I will try my best to make a version that fits for your printer.
Note the images show an older version. The STL file of the bottom part is slightly improved.
