Xbox One Controller Phone Mount Remix with Skull

thingiverse

This is my first remix on Thingiverse, so hopefully I'm getting it right. Started playing Diablo Immortal on my phone and needed to use a controller. I found the Xbox One Controller Phone Mount by Isummers to be one of the best looking and simple prints. A few things with the original design made me want to do a remix. 1 The first issue was the space left at the top of the controller was still too small for me and the reset was being pressed. This was mentioned as fixed by Isummers but either I did not grab the right file or there was just a difference in our controllers? 2 I need to print my first layers with a bit of squish for better bed adhesion so I've added a bevel to the insert to compensate for the "elephant foot" effect (a tip from a Maker Muse Youtube video) and the insert no longer needed to be shaved down with a utility knife for a smooth fit. 3 Playing with a Xbox controller in a darker room while looking near the controller has the downside of the illuminated button on the controller being quite bright. So I though a cover of some sort would be nice, then I thought, why not jazz up the overall look a little with a skull and some cutouts (which also lower the amount of material slightly). The downside of the skull over the controller power button is if you need to cycle the power to connect to your phone, but just sliding the mount over a little should provide enough room to push the button. I also separated the two pieces into individual STL files to give more flexibility when setting up your GCode. Sorry if my STL is a little too dense. I sculpted the skull in Zbrush and figured it's better to upload the detailed version I printed from. Comment if you need a more decimated model.
