Details
WhyDev's handle answers two complaints — no way to carry the console and nowhere to keep small things — by unscrewing the stock kickstand and bolting the handle in its place; a door slides into the handle's opening to close a storage pocket. Recommended profile 0.08 mm layers, two walls, 15 % infill (about 1.9 h; the experimental handle-and-door version 2.7 h). Drawn in Fusion 360 and shared in August 2026.

Small printed corner and edge protectors plus a sleeve for the stand rod, guarding the parts of the shell that wear without making the console bulkier.
Silicone sleeving slid over the 2.5 mm kickstand wire stops the stand locking too hard on hard surfaces and adds grip; 3 mm cable spiral wrap works too.
Printed trigger-style grips clamped onto the metal kickstand in two halves with M3 bolts, giving thumb-on-controls and index-finger typing holds.
An 80s/90s-styled printed case with a back plate and two handles on mounting blocks, held on by the stock stand bolts, with a built-in WiFi antenna mount.
A printed holder that snaps onto the metal kickstand and carries an Openterface Mini-KVM, making the console a roving KVM for headless machines.
A two-plate printed shelf for 6 mm pegboard holes on a 25 mm pitch, sized to park the uConsole on the wall; about 3.5 h to print.
