Can a 3D printer print a second Xbox one controller?

@TKR_330_The_Vaporeon The plastic parts for sure.
Some printers can even print some electonic circuits.

Cool. I really need a second controller

3D printing is more expensive than buying a serialised production product. Why not buying on a shop? Is it a rarity?

I don’t have the money to buy one

@TKR_330_The_Vaporeon I see… 3D printing is normally more expensive than just buying serial production products.

@TKR_330_The_Vaporeon Well then, scrimp and save for the bits to build yourself a 3D printer and you’ll have so much fun you won’t bother using the console quite as much and you’ll learn a few skills along the way. Some of them might even help you earn the wonga for the next new fangled console that comes out. I can assure you however that making a game controller is more than just printing some pretty parts and console makers go to great lengths to create customer lock-in too.

@TKR_330_The_Vaporeon Find friends to borrow another controller from.

Looks like a chinese knockoff aero?

Im done posting. Goodbye

@Thomas_Herrmann you are right. It is a chinese knockoff aero… Did not want to pay premium for something that had a risk of failure. Thanks for the tip. Had these things for so long that I managed to convince myself that they were the real deal. Post corrected.

Cool mod! Can I see the mount?

@Daniel_Stauffer Thanks. The mount is https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2460377 but will design something that suits me better when I have the time.

With the Titan’s gear reduction, you shouldn’t need a heat sink on that motor.

@Jeff_DeMaagd but I like to run my steppers cool.
With my mount made of PLA, and the motors runing over 70deg any cooling aid helps. Next design will have active cooling for stepper.

I’m pretty sure you don’t need drive the motor so hard. You shouldn’t need to run that motor any hotter than 55˚C and it won’t need any cooling. I drive a smaller motor less hard and don’t get any trouble pushing plastic through a Volcano.

@Paulo_Geraldes great thanks! Did you lose much of your build area if you lost something at all?

@Daniel_Stauffer Lost no build area, this type of mount will only affect part spacing if you are printing sequential parts.

@Jeff_DeMaagd Will measure temp and come back to you… I am just mindful of my PLA mount sagging :smiley:
