I designed this cover mainly due to how quickly the flat black color of the retractable mount became grungy looking. It’s also a fun way to add a little bit of color to the chair. This cover will work with the retractable joystick arm found on newer Permobil wheelchairs. I’m not sure when they swiched to the newer style but it appears to have been sometime between 2018 and 2020. If you are looking for a cover to fit the older style, I have uploaded that as well and you can find it here.

I have included 3 different covers.

  1. Just a plain cover.
  2. A cover with an image of the space shuttle that can be printed in a different color.
  3. A cover with an image of the Star Trek insignia that can be printed in a different color.

(2 and 3 are included just in case you’re as much of a nerd as me ;))

Printing: The cover can be printed in pretty much whichever material you prefer. Just be sure to enable supports for the overhangs at the top of the print.

To install, remove the screw (4mm hex) that holds the joystick at the front, and the screw that holds the mounting hardware at the rear of the retractable arm. Then just slide the cover over the arm and reassemble.

I’ve uploaded STEP files for all thee versions in case you’d like to make any changes.
