About this model

Remixed the design by @elkayem Enlarged to make room for side buttons. Still prints fine on my CTC (Makerbot clone) printer. I wanted buttons on the side for pinball type games and to use the buttons supplied in the USB arcade kits you get off eBay. Printed at 15% infill and seems very strong to me. Added a small support where the cable goes. Easy enough to cut/break off. Please note: I removed pre-made holes for the joystick as I found the holes don't always match up with the supplied hardware. As long as you have a drill, easy enough to make your own.
