I've been wanting to make this for a while now. I've previously made controller spools for NES, SNES, and DualShock Controllers, but this odd design of the GameCube controller has always pushed me away from making one.

However with the addition of a Supporting pillar and some fun design curves, it's working the way I want it to, and it can be flat packed in a 2cm shipping box.

Pretty cool design!

[–] the16bitgamer 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Thanks! I was worried that the physical constraints of the spool would impact it's design!

That's cool. Are they stackable?

[–] the16bitgamer 2 points 11 months ago

No they aren't designed to be. But if you were to pad out the top you might be able to clear the sticks so it could be.

But because of the stabilizer you can hang it.

That looks really great. I’m trying to find mounts for all of the consoles/controllers I have, and I’d love to have something for the NYXI Wizard controller (which is heavily inspired by this one) that I have.

[–] the16bitgamer 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

No promises that it’ll work, but you could modify our design files on our GitHub page. I think if the supporting pillar was slightly changed it may work.

Thanks for the reply, but as a beginner I’m barely managing to get ready-made stuff printed well;)
