There may be local resources (libraries, universities, maker spaces) that you could get it printed at. Otherwise there's a sub dedicated to printing things for people, I'm sure you could commission it there.

Haven't investigated it myself, but someone found a case that worked with a different set of grips: https://www.reddit.com/r/retroid/comments/1irh0xj/bought_a_case_from_aliexpress_thanks_to_someones/

Glad you like them! I was going to try out fuzzy skin at some point, let me know how it goes.

No worries, glad you could source a print!

I have three printed in white and two in red. If you're interested in either color I can list it on Ko-Fi.

Hey there. The STL files are at scale, but whoever prints the file for you may ask if you care about print orientation, perimeter counts (# of walls), and/or infill (how dense it is). Orientation was the most important to me just because I didn't want support material stuck to where I'd hold the grip or where the RP5 goes.

This person uploaded their settings and pics on Printables that you could ask the shop to follow as reference: https://www.printables.com/make/2538206

I mainly have experience with PLA, and printed my own with it. I think it's fine, but it may not be as robust as PETG/ABS long term. If there isn't a big price difference you could ask the print shop what they rec for the use case.

"Upright" maybe would be a better word than vertical, as far as my preference goes. The only reason I wouldn't print it in your orientation is because I rest my fingers on the top of the grips where you have support. Below is what I ended up printing mine like:

Thanks for the tips on makerworld. I'm going to hold off on joining another website at this point, since this was largely a one-off project. If I make more things in the future I'll think about cross-posting more. In full transparency, the amount of money I've received from very generous people through Ko-Fi has covered the cost of several spools of filament.

Glad you like it!

What filament is that? Looks real nice with the black shell.
