<p>Fully printed clip-on adapter for the <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/110455-xac-joysticks-and-universal-adapter">modular XBox Adaptive Controller joysticks </a>made by <a href="https://www.printables.com/social/3865-egonheuson">Egon</a>. No disassembly required!</p><p>This is still a work-in-progress so please provide feedback if you have any.</p><h4>Assembly/Disassembly</h4><p><strong>Be careful to not put too much strain on the arm connection joints on the main D-pad clip. </strong>Due to the print orientation these are prone to breaking when stressed. I'm working on an updated design that allows the main clip to be printed in a stronger orientation.</p><ol><li>Put the HandiAdapter_Base into the D-pad clip.</li><li>Screw the multitool adapter into the base to help hold the base in place.&nbsp;</li><li>Slide the clip onto the XAC.&nbsp;</li><li>Slide the end of an arm onto a corner of the XAC, gently bending the connector end upwards so that it can align with the opening on the main clip body.</li><li>Press arm connector into the clip body. It is a press fit, but this should not require large amounts of force. <strong>Excessive force will damage the clip body. </strong>When in doubt, trim a little off of the arm connector and try again.</li><li>Repeat for the other arm.</li></ol><p>To disassemble, lift the arm connector out of the clip body first before attempting to remove the arm from the XAC. This avoids placing excess strain on the connection&nbsp;</p><h4>Printing</h4><p>Parts should be printed as oriented. 0.2mm layer height or lower.&nbsp;</p><p>Supports are required on the D-pad clip under the unbridgeable sections of the D-pad cutout and the right side connection point, as well as on the connector ends of the clip arms. See slicer screenshot and 3mf file for details.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
