Mario Mushroom Switch Pro Controller Holder

thingiverse

This is a switch pro controller holder in the shape of a Mario mushroom. It saves like 2cm of space! It falls over if you push it! Countless hours of fun! I don't know why the screenshots are showing the wrong sides so I've added a render from 3ds max. The eyes ARE modelled. It is comprised of two parts, the base and the top. They connect together easily with a built-in peg/hole join. The reasons for having it be two parts are ease of printing and to easily have two different colours. If you have the right filament (paint, markers or anything else) you could recreate your favourite powerups from the games! It could be fun to do with kids (or just something to brighten up your room). I strongly recommend printing the two halves separately, but I have included a sheet with them both if you're in a hurry. You shouldn't need supports (even though Cura warns about overhangs, they're tiny and shouldn't warp). Print with your favourite settings and materials! It shouldn't take a lifetime to print as it uses around 50g (give or take 10g) of filament, depending on a few variables. Assembly is simple, first make sure there's no blobbing or stringing on the peg or hole (you can easily fix this with sandpaper or a file), then just line up the hole with the peg and slide it on. The hole isn't keyed but I promise you'll be able to work out which way is which. I made the model from scratch in 3ds Max, I didn't base it off any particular Mario game, I just made from memory what the little mushrooms look like. I'm still an absolute novice when it comes to making 3d models so I apologize if my model causes your slicer to glitch out or something. I wish I could show a version with a red top but my printer is being disobedient at the moment and is making spaghetti monsters 50% of the time. Anyway, thanks for checking this out! It's my first real model and I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions or suggestions on what I should try to make next, please let me know!
