Description

A phone mount holder thing for the 8bitdo micro controller!

I always found the 8bitdo micro to be nifty little controller for GameBoy/C/A games especially on the phone but couldn't find an existing solution to mount it to my phone so I made my own.

To use the controller, just hold the phone like a vertical retro gaming handheld, and access the two shoulder buttons by squeezing the horn shaped shoulder button triggers using the meat of your index fingers.

Some notable features:

  • Prints very easily, with only easily removable tree support on the body. Other support is optional.
  • Customizable shoulder buttons! Multiple shoulder button sizes for your to choose from, from xs to xl. My medium-large hands find L to be quite comfortable; my partner's medium small hands find XS to be comfortable enough.
  • Multiple back bracket clip sizes to fit your phone! My iPhone 16 Pro Max uses a 11.2mm bracket. If you are not sure, measure your phone and print 1mm size down so it can more easily secure it.
  • Can also be used standalone if you'd like! So you don't have to press the trigger button using an awkward position.

The way to attach to the phone is still a bit rudimentary, but do let me know if you have any more robust but still custimizable ideas!

I took the liberty of modifying the initial project to adapt it to the shape of my foldable phone The idea of the levers to activate the back buttons is brilliant, well done In the future I'll see if I can extend it to the R2 and L2 buttons as well

Prints great and has a lot of options for different sized phones. One issue I had was the clip parts kept popping out of the tracks causing the fit to be loose. I fixed this by printing a small rectangle and glueing it on to block the clips from popping out.

I haven't printed it yet, and j have no idea how you would do it but maybe you could add a way to press the other side buttons for more input options

how do I tell which part is sized for my phone, they are all listed the same, it's all just back clip 6.2mm - 5.2mm up2bottom2 or whatever.stl

ah that's a shorthand for "size from 6.2mm to 15.2mm with 1mm increments, ordering from left up most to the right bottom most". So for example if you are looking for sizing around 8.2mm, you should print the third one on the left column on the print plate I shared above

Thank you for creating and sharing this model, I am very happy to see someone attempt this! I would really love to see you continue to improve on this design! It's a bit of a "rough concept" right now but you have a great start and an opportunity to dial in on a very neat project. Please keep chipping away on improvements!! I did have an issue with the print that I wanted to share: the clips for the phone broke very easily and using a stronger infill and 3 loops did not resolve the issue. They dont slide into the controller holder but instead "press fit". Even with perfect support to reduce drooping, the press fit should be a grove insert instead or clipped permanently. I am not sure the perfect solution here, but please try to find it! in my opinion its the only thing keeping this model from being incredibly successful for most micro owners. The controller clip itself is a nice fit. It looks great and is slim enough to not burden the controllers portability.

good quality print, but comes apart too easily. wish the mounting solution had a slot design so it won’t come apart. I also found the triggers difficult to press because they come out so easily
