Generative Design Xbox Controller Stand

thingiverse

This is a cutting-edge, 3D-designed desktop cradle for an Amazon Essentials Xbox One controller. The initial blueprint, generative design, and stress analysis were carried out in Fusion 360 with precision. Slicing was completed in Prusa Slic3r and ultimately I printed a few of these in PLA and PETG with impressive results. It performs flawlessly in either material. The design is incredibly sturdy. Load tests involved applying 200N of force in various directions (around 44 pounds). With a safety factor of 2.0, the cradle could hold an 88 pound controller without any structural failure. The generative outcome I selected was optimized for additive manufacturing techniques. Overhang angles are respected in the result (for the most part). There are a few steeper overhangs, but the Prusa printer handled them with ease.
