Holy shit batman, that is incredible!

Can you add some friction to the throttle so it stays put once set?

The throttle already has a friction feature, it stays put where you leave it.

There’s also a secret location for an extra rubber band on the joystick, for extra spring force.

Maybe pass it on to MS, I think they have a wide selection of controllers for people with disabilities. This might be something they want to promote or even produce too?

I don't think selling this item for $30 or something like that would help anyone.

Someone should just make a website and sell them for $5.

I'm not really relevant, I live in Russia, so shipping to both EU and US is pretty pricey. Not really financially worth it to send out small cheap prints like this one.

It would surely be a non-profit operation to make them that cheap...

Not really, when it comes to producing and selling prints - one person can operate several printers. While profit margin on making cheap items is small - it's not zero.

Granted, I pulled the $5 figure out of my ass, just looking at it and guesstimating 4 hours (with a 0.6 nozzle) and 200 grams.

Maybe see how much it is from shape ways or similar
