This is pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I know mechanism/deckmate has 3D models available as well, but their designs require springs/screws/etc, so this has some serious advantages for being print in place.

Unless I’m looking at it wrong, it’s not print in place, it needs to be glued together. It looks like a 2-piece set for either side. To be printed in one piece, it would require non-removable supports.

Ok yeah you’re right. That’s still pretty good though, for comparison mechanism sells this kit in order to get their 3D printed designs working. This seems much easier to assemble.

This is correct. There are alignment holes and tabs for everything, so it’s pretty painless. It was a requirement to have zero supports, which is more work than a dot of glue IMO, so I went that route.

Wait, you just created a new lockable quick connector that can be 3D printed with no other parts required? This seems bigger than Steam Deck!

Yea, it can be used with lots of things, just starting here 😉

These are awesome! If i can make a suggestion:

Adapters to lock into the jsaux and killswitch mounts! Idk about jsaux but i know that dbrand published 3dp files for theirs!

I might look at this, but part of this for me was the engineering experience of building the connector along with supportless parts. So I’m not sure how much time I’d put into adapting away from that. Thanks for the suggestion!

This was my first thought as well, so I looked into it. Turns out JSAUX does provide a range of 3d printable models that can quickly connect to the modcase (as well as a template for modeling new attachments). You can see photos of the models here., but the actual downloadable models are the product page here.

Included models for it include:
