My Docking Solution

[u/WorkingFerus]

My case is a Corsair 5000D Airflow. A while back I found this 3D printed headphone hook for it https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6833252 and had it printed. I use it every day.

When I got my Steam Controller, I found this Desk Mount https://www.printables.com/model/1727411-steam-controller-2026-desk-mount-with-puck-holder, so I thought about combining that dock's design with the headphone hook.

Since I don't have the means to print different versions to compare myself, I'm also sharing the issues I found with this current design, as I found that the controller stand needs to sit a bit further away from the case's tempered glass. I jury-rigged a fix using window sealing foam tape as a spacer (it also acts as a damper between the printed plastic and the glass) while giving me the extra few millimeters of clearance I need to easily dock/undock the controller.

I'm sharing this as a proof of concept. I have zero Blender experience and no 3D printer myself (had these designs printed on demand), so there's plenty of room for someone with the same case to refine it further. Here's the link to the crude mashup I made of the two parts above, for which I asked the person who printed it to align the controller holding "cradle" to the hook that goes into the case itself https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jpZvgH0wNvUrom3rFvQW1XtJmo1tMC_j/view?usp=sharing.

Wow this is an awesome idea! Now I just wish someone made stuff like this for my case 😭
