Desk PS4 contoller holder

thingiverse

Update info 2018-11-11: I noticed that the desk clamps are only attached to the body by a very thin sliver of material, which led to one of them breaking when I accidentally used too much force to place the controller in the arms (arms survived no problem). So I am testing currently some rods I inserted into each clamp. The rods, printed such that they connect the body and the clamps internally, should give each clamp more strength regarding its connection to the main body. I uploaded a test model in case you are interested. I am open to other suggestions on how to strengthen the clamps :). Remix and redesign of certain parts of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2741515. Original didn't work well for my desk, good idea but clamped to my desk would not stop moving, resulting in the arms wobbling, moving and falling out all the time. The main part with the desk clamp is supposed to push against the desk and thus trap the arms, stopping them from moving or falling out. Clearly did not work for me. I double checked if I made a mistake in adapting it to my desk's size but although the clamp seemed to fit snugly, it still moved a bit when removing or replacing the controller, thus no longer stopping the arms from moving or falling out. Probably only works well with thick tables like the Ikea Lack. Redesigned the holding part, reusing the excellent (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1031950) clamp part from the headphone hanger, which I printed some time ago and which is one of the most used 3D printed items I own. I used it twice for the desk holder to significantly enhance the steadiness of that part. Then cleaned the back of the original PS4 controller holder, made it a bit thicker and more sturdy. Mirrored the arm holder slots and made the notch deeper. Arms: Left them almost entirely as they were, except adapted the back part to be much sturdier and fit more snugly into the holder = less movement. I admit I cannot design if my life depended on it but this worked out rather nicely. I am still amazed at how good the free Windows 10 3D Builder app is. Sorry for the potato pics, the thing is in a rather dark corner.
