Material-Saving 30-Degree Base
Created 13 days ago
Remixed once
Description
A solid block of plastic takes forever to print and uses way more filament than it needs to. This base holder replaces the solid wedge with a structural shell — hollowing out the underside while keeping the 30-degree holding angle and the side ridges completely intact.
Print Specs
- Material saving: Massive reduction in volume by carving out a tunnel underneath.
- Overhangs: The 30-degree incline naturally prints without supports.
- Footprint: 68mm long by 60mm wide.

Manta Contour Console Grips
Echoing the sweeping, organic lines of marine life, these bionic-contoured grips transform a rigid, slim handheld into a natural extension of the hands. The bulbous outer shell fills the empty space of a relaxed grip, completely banishing the cramped claw-hand fatigue of marathon sessions. A precision-channeled core seamlessly bites onto the edges of the device without crowding the action. Design Specs The Swell: Sweeps 25mm outward from the console body to fully support the lower palm. The Fit: Parallel channels lock cleanly over a 10mm chassis edge, utilizing lead-in chamfers for a smooth, scrape-free slide. The Clearance: A minimalist 4mm front lip ensures thumbs never collide with the plastic while reaching for the D-pad. The Fabrication: Symmetrical vertical extrusions designed to sit flat on the build plate without requiring supports.
