Wiimote Clip

Wiimote Clip by cbwilliams Mar 6, 2010

Description

This is a clip that connects your Wiimote to your Classic Controller.

The bottom of the clip connects to the Wiimote; the top half clips into those as-of-yet unused holes at the bottom of the Classic Controller (using that mystery middle shoulder button).

The clip could be good for (a) getting the wiimote out of the way and (b) for any games that may want to have a mix between dual-analog controls and motion-sensitive controls.

would be great see a version of this for the other version clasic controller ...

I wonder, if you were to separate the model into 2 pieces, you could glue the 2 halves together with acetone/ABS glue. That way you could print it without needing support material.

Instructions

Due to the overhangs, you'll need a printer that can handle support material.

The first clip was made on a SLA250. I've since made clips on a various FDM machines and even on an old Thermojet.

The clip can fail at the Classic Controller interface; the undercut wall is fairly thin. So far, my SLA-made clips have survived fairly well (the others, not so much).
