Details
jamescodesthings' grip gives the console hand-sized holds for long sessions on a sofa or in bed; a revision replaced the original finger holes. Print it upright on its base with tree supports and high infill; it was drawn for a 0.6 mm nozzle with two walls (use three walls on a 0.4 mm nozzle), and the designer's copy is PETG. A STEP is included so wall thickness and grip diameter can be tuned (CC BY-SA).
