Boost Me (for free)

If you like my models, boosting is free and I get to tell my wife people on the internet think I'm cool.

This is a 3D printable housing designed to hold a KY-023 PS2 joystick module (Amazon link) for one-handed use in projects like RC vehicles, robotic arms, and more. The housing offers a secure and ergonomic enclosure for the joystick, with integrated strain relief and mounting features.

A separate magnetic cradle is included for convenient docking or storage of the controller when not in use—ideal for boats or mobile setups where quick access and clean cable management are a priority.

Features (Controller Housing):

Fits the KY-023 joystick module (Amazon link)
Designed for 20 AWG 5-conductor wire (Amazon link)
Wire exit channel and strain relief to prevent damage
Flat bottom with mounting holes for secure placement
Compact, rugged form factor – optimized for handheld or fixed panel mounting
Ideal for custom joystick control in electric kayaks, RC projects, robotics, and more

Features (Magnetic Cradle):

Snap-in dock for the controller housing
Holds via small (6mm x 2mm round) embedded magnets (neodymium recommended)
Use it to store the controller during transport or when not in use
Can be surface-mounted on bulkheads, dashboards, etc.

Included Files:

STL for controller housings (2 halves)
STL for magnetic storage cradle

Recommended Hardware:

10x Neodymium magnets (6mm diameter x 2mm height)
20 AWG 5-conductor stranded wire
6x M3 self-tapping screws for securing housings together

Thanks for sharing, I use lots of these joystick modules for outdoor purpose. they rust in rain and have to be replaced. This will be very handy.

Great design. I was looking for something to house my controller for animatronic eyes I've printed. Saves me from having to order from overseas!
