Daily Earring #69: NES Controller

thingiverse

The original design, available at wap.cc and thingiverse.com/thing:7120, can be printed as one solid piece with ease. Despite this, the creator initially aimed to print tiny springs, which proved impossible on this scale. As a result, they will reprint the parts and replace the springs with foam instead. Additionally, the design is not 1:1 or to scale; it has been shrunk down for use as earrings, necessitating some element repositioning. Printing on an UP worked well, though start/select buttons were a bit small. The next version of this design will eliminate non-functional springs and require foam and glue to make the elements pressable.
