Had my sis ask me why I didn't just 3D scan the broken controller housing. 3 reasons that I'll share in case anyone else is curious.
Most scanning apps either don't know how big the actual object is or isn't precise enough which will require extra fiddling in CAD after.
Anyone that has ever tried modifying a 3D scan will tell you how painful it is. No flat surfaces or geometrically accurate angles make for a nightmare. Tried modifying a GoPro mount once that was 3D scanned and uploaded to Thingiverse. Spent hours just fixing errors.
The housing is bent, so even if I pull the geometry I'd have to unbend it in CAD which isn't particularly easy as mentioned above.
So I've been painstakingly making a variety of test prints along the way, slowly getting each new addition to the model dialled in. I'll of course be making some adjustments to make it more suitable for 3D printing and just a few extra bits for my own purposes.
Anyone got any requests to add to the design?
Tempted to make a version that will accept alternative power buttons since the existing one is simply a dome switch under a silicone cover.
