Summary

My friends are releasing a game and wanted something to help secure their controllers from theft at events. This design wraps around the controller and makes it so it can't be pulled away from the charging cable.

Secure the other end of the cable and it makes it very difficult to walk away with the controller.

It needs 2 M3 nuts and bolts to close the shell.

Post-Printing

None

            <div><p>This model prints as is, clear off any stringing or blobs and it's all ready to go. Fold it around the controller and cable and add the retaining bolts.</p></div>

How I Designed This

Measure the Controler

            <div><p>I took so rough measurements with a vernier calliper (Xbox controllers are hard to measure as there are no straight/flat/fixed points. </p></div>                <p class="detail-title"><strong>Model in Fusion 360</strong></p>            <div><p>Many, Many, Many iterations of design tweaking the hole positions, folding mechanism as well as other non-folding and snap-fit attempts, this is the final result.</p></div>
