Description

I created these sabergrips to make playing beatsaber alot nicer! There are many different ways of grabbing these (as in how high up you grab them) for different comfortable positions.

The base attachment can just be on your controller without the grips as well. Making the possibility to use this base as a base for other grips as well: gun grips / stock attachments etc! Be creative!

You need threaded inserts for these to work; M4 6mm inserts and also M3 and M4 bolts. Also for each grip 1 M3 nut.

Warning: the little clip that goes into your control, don't print it out of PLA. I printed it out of cheap chinese PLA and somewhere between 75 and 100 hours of intense sport usage (I do 1 hour workouts with very intense BeatSaber songs and XR fit punching as hard as I can) the clips snapped and send my controller flying. Nothing broke on the controller, but print the clip out of PETG or a strong (not so flex) flex filament that can handle some stress. Use this at your own risk.

I used this hardware:

Threaded inserts (length 6mm, M3 and M4): https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005004870993068.html
These screws (get an M3 and an M4 set): https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005006034879477.html

How to assemble:

Be sure to check wether you have the left or right item for every step!
Remove the battery clip from your controller
Remove the strap by sliding out towards you from the bottom
Add an M3 nut to the small clip you printed
Slide the clip into the controller where the strap used to be
Put the battery cover back
Slide on the controller attachment carefully and check to see if everything aligns and if you used the correct clip!
Screw in the M3 bolt from the bottom to secure (don't skip this step!)
Add the threaded inserts to the sabergrip and the controller attachment
Slide on the sabergrip to the controller (it's a tough fit!)
Screw it with an M4 bolt (don't skip this step!)
Thread your controller strap through the circular grip bottom
Screw it to the bottom of your grips
You're done! Enjoy!

After a stressful travel, the right adapter has broken. I made a research, and the reason is the weakening cut. Not sure why it's there, but it adds a fatal flaw to the design. I improved it, and would like to contribute. But your license prevents me from remixing. I can share the improved STL though. On the first photo, the broken part is glued by thermal gun. On the first, the clear thin spot is visible. And the third one is my own fix of the cut.

@b03tz

It's definitely not there in the original design. I have no such cut nor do I see a reason to have it. It looks like your printing settings might have actually messed something up?

@Felixoid

Replying to @b03tz :

I download the STL/CAD file, and open it with both Prusa and Orca slicers. There's the cut that makes model fragile. I don't know why it's there, but it definitely is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ `Download 3MF` gives the same model

Replying to @b03tz :

And, as you can see, the adapter model is even called Quest3GripFinallRCut. For some reason it contains `cut` in its name

@maxximl

What is the bottom hole for?

The designer has replied

@b03tz

Actually made that so other things could be attached in the future. Made the grip part to be a bit generic, the handles to be the first attachment. Was thinking maybe a gun grip would be more logical to screw from the bottom.

Replying to @b03tz :

will we see more come out soon?

@MerchoKnight

I remade your files (I combined the grip and the controller's articulation into a single file and deleted the others). I lost the texture because Fusion 360 is very difficult to use for modifying downloaded files. I also glued magnets to the controllers (6 magnets, 8x2 mm). I added a katana-like pattern to the grip to avoid cutting my hand (I'm autistic so each layer of the printed files cuts me like a box cutter). All of this is to play Beat Saber with the Darth Maul function, but the controller keeps coming loose from the articulation. It seems you did something to reposition the cord, and the texture you added adheres better to the controller. I don't know how to fix it. I'm scared of broking my controllers or damaging something.

The designer has replied

@b03tz

That's amazing man!!

@Felixoid

Been using it for a month. Unfortunately, if used like a sword, it often loses the controller. But I've found a way to fix it by tweaking `Controller -> rotation` in the settings. Using x=30 y=-4 makes the sabers the most comfortable for me. At first I've printed everything in a gray scale, but tonight I've printed red and blue caps, so now new users of the VR set won't accidentally swap the hands. Thanks a lot for the design!

@b03tz

That's an AWESOME idea! Never thought about that haha.

@KlasDK

they're great - melted two M3 nuts in the model, instead of using the ones you screw in - worked fine. would be easier to make the model with 3 holes for M3 nuts so you don't needle different parts.

Very good.

@wnreynolds

you could reupload these to be long arms for gorilla tag

@Ch0ppedCheese

Yess please wait you play to?

@wnreynolds

Replying to @Ch0ppedCheese :

yea

Same

@MasterXY13

does this model also work with quest 3 s? I’m having difficulty putting the straps into the bottom of the grip and the controller keeps flying out even with everything in

The designer has replied

@b03tz

For the record, you need to remove the default rope straps...attach the small printed part in that place and SCREW the controller into the grips using a small M3 nut. It CANNOT fly out unless something breaks really bad.

@MasterXY13

Replying to @b03tz :

yeah I have fixed it already and forgot to change this

Strength Issue:MiniMe was looking forward to the Saber Sticks, unfortunately they are not compatible with our Meta Quest 3 VR headset! The error message "Handtracking failed" keeps appearing. After removing the Saber Sticks everything works perfectly again. I also had to sand down the connection between the Stick and the Controller Adapter to be able to assemble it. The model is unfortunately too thin at this point and the transition is inaccurate. It broke twice, the third attempt then held for the first test.

@b03tz

You must remove the cable from the controller BEFORE inserting it into the print. The cable must be attached to the bottom of your print. You can pull it out of the controller! Then the LED will be tracked correctly.
