About this model

WORK IN PROGRESS This is not finished, contains parts to redraw, ... No time for now to complete, put here for archive + allows other creators to go on (and share) maybe. Notes about V1: - hard to print without lot of supports - easily breakable => abandoned Notes about V2: - controller imprint, removed from the block to make the protection shape, need to be a bit bigger (actually kinda ok but a bit more will be better) - hard to put on the controller without moving sticks and so, turn it on - part in front of controller leds is too thin and broke when I put the prototype on the controller - notches holes should be larger if kept (holes to use a velcro band to maintain in place) => maybe create a 2 parts protection, removing notches and create a clasp that doesn't require a velcro band
