Tested & Engineered by a Maker with Experience
This design was created from scratch by a mechanical engineering student at UQTR, mechanical engineering technician and extensively tested on a Bambu Lab A1 Mini.
The modular ts, clamp angles, and load-bearing orientations were all optimized for long-term durability and comfort. Tolerances were also thoroughly tested.
I built this not just to โlook cool,โ but to actually function for hours of real gaming.
๐ Design Inspiration Disclaimer
This model was built entirely from scratch and is not a remix of any existing file.
It was conceptually inspired by:
However, this design introduces original mechanical articulation, made for smaller 3D printers like the Bambu Lab A1, a modular upgrade system, interchangeable aesthetic heads, and a 3D-scanned controller fit, making it a completely different model focused on customization, future-proofing, and ergonomics.
