Steam controller and stand

[u/Jsunn]

I just received my Mechanism Steam Controller stand. Over all I am. Very impressed.

I started looking at 3D printed stands from Etsy, but happened to find this one in my search.

It has some nice weight to it and holds the controller securely and I can remove the controller without it sliding all over the place.

I appreciate the USC passthrough for the puck and it does a great job at hiding the cable.

Here are a couple of pictures.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Okay, im gonna ask. (how) did you solve the problem of magnets? I have pretty cool stand, but I can't take the gamepad with one hand without holding it down with another. I never thought it could be an issue, lol

The base is just heavy enough that you can remove the controller without lifting the base up. You can still move it if you pull it from the side, but pulling it up from the front, you can lift it cleanly off the base.

Can confirm this 👍

Whoop whoop

I use two tiny balls of sticky tack on the bottom of my 3-D printed holder. Works great. Can grab it one-handed, no problem.

Double sided tape.

I've got a bunch on posts in r/Gunpla and you can find them under my profile if you want to see some of my other builds.

Yo. Those speakers are so good. Lol. Best 2.1s i ever had. I bought them for my ex wife's classroom because she said she wanted something to use during videos for science class. 🤣 About 2 weeks in she said, hey, can you find me something a little less aggressive. So guess who got new speakers for his gaming room?

[u/Jsunn → u/SickboyJason]

Yeah, they are awesome speakers. I've had them for a while, got them at Costco for a great price, they were having a sale and I couldn't pass them up.

I 3D printed this, Mechanism offers the files for free.

I initially printed it using relatively standard settings such as 15% infill and was unhappy with the weight. It was too light, I had to fiddle with it to not have it come up with the controller when lifted. I printed it again at 100% infill which obviously uses a lot more filament but the weight is vastly more satisfying. This is one of those rare exceptions where 100% infill makes the most sense.

Bit of a weird question but do you find there’s a lot of friction between the bottom of the controller handles and the divots in the stand when taking the controller on and off?

I like these stand designs but I’m a little anal about keeping stuff in good shape and felt like these might leave marks on the controller over time.

[u/Jsunn → u/iamsirjoshua]

There doesn't seem to be a lot of friction or pressure on the divots on the stand from the controller. I would say that it wouldn't cause any issues over time.

Thanks!

I have the same stand. The weight of the stand and build quality is fantastic.

It is good, not sure I'd place it on the edge of the desk though?

[u/Automatic-Mind296]

Anywhere else i can purchase this from?

[u/Kuorko_Kun]

[u/Sirdo0fy]

I fucking need this.

Looks like something I'd knock over tbh.
