Description
This is a redesign of the shell of the Alpakka Open Source gaming controller. Go to www.inputlabs.io for more information on the controller. I designed this in SolidWorks with the goal of making as comfortable of a gyro controller as possible. Reduced the BOM by 4 M2.5 hex nuts (the M2.5x 25mm screws just thread into the plastic). Whole thing clamps together with 2 M2.5x25mm machine screws and nuts. R1, R2, and R4 buttons all now have a 1mm hole in them for wiring up conductive filament prints with solid core 18 / 20 AWG wire to make the buttons touch sensitive. Added some texture and elongated the left analog stick. Elongated all the buttons. HMU if you have any questions. Hex pattern grip inspired by NLD Designs Lab's Odin 2 Grips. Modified stl files have the moondogg suffix, others are original as designed by Input Labs. Printed in SUNLU Silk PLA +.
Notes: The attached .3mf is to show layout orientation only, no print settings have been optimized for printing. Print using lots of organic supports for best results.
The .step files are the files I made natively in SW, but they are scaled 10x, so remember to rescale them :)
