first of all I wanted a more comfortable grip for bigger hands so I added two brackets on each side, it felt much better already, but then there was a problem with the joycon wire, it was kinda anoying standing out on top and I just didnt like that a lot, so I created a simple solution to integrate the wire into the grip, its out of the way and easy to insert or remove.

The joycon snapped in the original design quite well but as I printed it on another printer it was off about 1mm and the joycon was a bit lose.  I created a spring loaded holding arm which holds the Joycon secure in place evenso the print doesnt fit the size of the joycon perfectly.

Phantoms wire management supports both Joycons ( left - and right + )

A pair of bigger and smaller sidegrips  are included, depending on how big your hands are.

The name you ask?! well put it in front of your face and look in the mirror ;)

 

 Requirements

You need a spring from a simple and cheap ball bearing pen. Place it in the spring cover and  combine it with the holding arm, tadaaa you have a spring loaded holding arm now.

Use some glue or azetone ABS mixture to attach the springloaded arm+spring+spring cover to the back of the Phantom, of course only the outher parts of the spring cover are glued to the back, NOT the moving part in the middle.

Also the Sidegrips need to be glued on, I use a Acetone+ABS solution to do so, but if you haven not printed in ABS just use some superglue or similar.

The spring arm is preloaded so dont worry if there is some tension when you glue it to the back, its ment to be that way.
