New 3DS XL Comfort Grip

thingiverse

I fell in love with the feel of zeroordie881's grips, but there were some issues; Sharp edges dug into my fingers when wrapping around the grips, the Gameboy would fall out of the case when opening up the lid or playing in bed, and while in the case I couldn't access the cartridges to change games. Here's what I changed: First, the pins at the top that click into the wrist strap holes didn't print with my 0.4mm nozzle. Seeing they were only half height, I extended them to ensure they would print. I also added tabs at the lower corners near the grip. This ensures it doesn't pop out of the case when opening the lid, and in combination with the pins at the top, help hold the 3DS securely in the case. I contoured the back to add comfort and strength. This thing feels amazing. Print just like zeroordie881's design standing up on the bottom of the grips. Major supports needed with minor cleanup If you have the original 3DS XL, you can find the grip I created for that here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1833730
