PS4 thumbstick extenders - library of options

thingiverse

I crafted a custom PS4 joystick extender that would yield the level of detail I required. Previous extenders I'd printed from Thingiverse designs lacked the precision I needed, often succumbing to excessive overhang or poor finishing due to support material. My creations print in two separate pieces which are then meticulously bonded together using super glue. This post-processing step allows for intricate details on both the stick's top (thumb area) and snapping features. To cater to various user preferences, I've developed a comprehensive library of options including adjustable heights and distinct top styles with or without ridges for enhanced grip. Users can select a bottom piece based on desired height and a corresponding top piece based on preferred design. Here's a concise decoder for file names: The "2d" or "3d" notation represents the dent depth (2 mm or 3 mm) on top, with some designs featuring an optional convex bump. Models with a 2 mm depth offer both concave and convex bump options, whereas those with a 3 mm depth are limited to a single convex bump. The preceding number indicates height in millimeters; for instance, "10h" corresponds to a 10 mm extension. Lastly, the "b" or "no-b" designation signifies whether the top features a concave (no-b) or convex (b) shape. The "r" and "no-r" notation determines the presence of ridges on top; I personally opted not to include them but explored their added grip value. The showcased design is a 10 mm height extension with a "3d_b_no-r" configuration.
