Why 3D‑Print Your Own Accessories?

Having a 3D printer lets you solve small problems quickly. You can make parts that fit your controller perfectly without waiting for a store item.

Five Printable Add‑Ons

  • Thumbstick Toppers – Small caps that give extra grip or change the stick shape for better control.
  • Mini‑Wheel Adapter – A rack‑and‑pinion piece that turns a thumbstick into a tiny steering wheel, ideal for racing games.
  • Controller Stand – A simple holder that keeps the controller upright when not in use; designs range from plain to themed.
  • Phone Mount – A clip that attaches to the top of the controller, holding a smartphone for couch streaming.
  • Custom Faceplate – Replace the original front with a personalized design, such as a game logo or textured pattern.

Getting Started

All files are free to download from community sites. Choose a model that matches your printer’s capabilities, slice it, and print with standard PLA filament. Most parts need only a little glue or a few screws to attach.
