XBox One Controller Mod - Top-Down Play

prusaprinters

<p><strong>Description:</strong></p><p>This snap-on mod allows the Xbox One controller to be placed down and played from top-down.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This mod was inspired by and is a remix of <strong>Akaki's Snap-On Xbox Gamepad HOTAS Joystick</strong>:</p><p><a href="https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/snap-on-xbox-gamepad-hotas-joystick">https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/gadget/snap-on-xbox-gamepad-hotas-joystick</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The contoller can be snapped on the base/mount assembly and placed down on the flat surface. The joysticks and buttons are extended outwards and enlarged for easier reachability. The levers for the RB, RT, LB &amp; LT allow them to be pressed from top-down.</p><p>As I am not a gamer I think that this mod can be further optimized. I would really apprecriate your feedbacks and shared makes. Thanks a lot! :)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Assembly:</strong></p><p>Depending on the tolerances of your printers you might need a file to work on the connection points like the hinges or ball joints.</p><p>Optionally glue can be use for connecting the jostick grip, A, B, X, Y, RB, RT, LB and LT buttons.</p><p><i>Be careful not to snap off the ball heads when assembling.</i></p><p><i><strong>Pre-assemble the joystick extension.</strong></i></p><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/111335/rich_content/78ceb2d7-39d4-46ef-8b35-a819adc2a53e/img_5815.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2265d14669-b686-4252-9bf2-0ebaa421088b%22%2C%22w%22%3A3184%2C%22h%22%3A2296%7D"></figure><p>Snap in the roll arm to the joystick shaft.</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/111335/rich_content/2e0229b1-b337-4204-a6d0-b5bce9b9e355/img_5816.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2236594f03-befd-446a-bbf1-17e5cb0cedd7%22%2C%22w%22%3A3024%2C%22h%22%3A4032%7D"></figure><p>Snap in the roll arm to the pitch arm.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/111335/rich_content/f98cf03e-7b9e-4231-be08-5a8da5647b96/img_5817.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22f4c9b1d1-169b-4d8a-9f03-21bc0b889cd8%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A3024%7D"></figure><p>Assemble the shaft and pitch arm with the joystick hinge.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/111335/rich_content/8f01f5d2-0955-4c1e-b623-17b8014271ab/img_5818.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%226d176e7a-4195-4ed1-9eef-43f9b2d88ca4%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A3024%7D"></figure><p>Push in the thunmstick collar and joystick grip to the rest of the pre-assembly.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/111335/rich_content/cfbfee2d-c5a1-4e03-8980-bc20ed59518a/img_5819.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%22232e8829-7a1c-4e8d-b7d0-e7427472ef02%22%2C%22w%22%3A2848%2C%22h%22%3A2584%7D"></figure><p><i><strong>Pre-assemble shoulder button extensions.</strong></i>&nbsp;</p><p>Below the right side assembly.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/111335/rich_content/6296011a-7864-4613-9dcb-9b0afcd28865/img_5820.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2247ba8461-6816-4e8e-b3cd-aa1e0d624931%22%2C%22w%22%3A4032%2C%22h%22%3A3024%7D"></figure><p>Align the RB and RT levers accordingly to the bracket and push in the hinge pin.</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:75%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/111335/rich_content/04df7251-2681-4633-a2aa-0ab21be176a9/img_5821.jpg#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2238607eef-96c8-445c-b89f-0be18612fd71%22%2C%22w%22%3A5288%2C%22h%22%3A3864%7D"></figure><p>Connect the RB and RT buttons.
