Ever find yourself play games but your partner just wants to sleep? 3D print your own controller-display
mount and use our monitor for a personal gaming session without the big screen.
Using Adafruit 7' HD Display
Our 3-piece design is available on thingiverse.
You can get the tools for this project on adafurit's shop.
The 7' HD monitor features an adjustable stand that can be easily removed.
We'll reuse the adjustable parts for our 3d printed mount.
You can use tinker cad to modify the paths for your own controller.
Check out our guide on Adafruits Learning system for complete tutorial.
Make sure your build plate is ready and leveled. Our design takes about half an hour to print.
Drill the screws into the clips and then into the mount base.
We need to remove the 2 top screws on the back of our controller.
Attach the controller to the mount. Place the bottom in first and snap the top for a
tight fit.
Use two 4 3/4 screws to secure the clips to the bottom of the controller.
Position the mount into place and tighten the adjustment screw.
This simple design is non-intrusive when gaming.
For sound, you can use the audio jack on the controller.
What awesome mount will you make for your display?
