# PXP-Gamepad
 DIY universal controller pocket gamepad.

This is a open source wired controller/gamepad designed to be ultra portable.  
It uses a RP2040-Zero MCU soldered onto a custom PCB (see files).  
For firmware it uses GP2040-CE which can be downloaded from here:  
https://github.com/MegaBitmap/GP2040-CE/releases

# 3D Print Settings

3MF Print files ready to be sliced can be downloaded from here:  
https://github.com/MegaBitmap/PXP-Gamepad/tree/master/3D_Files/3MF_Mesh  

If you have good first layer adhesion, disable brim.  
~0.13mm layer height  
Z seam alignment -> random  
The faceplate must be printed facing up with generate support enabled.  
The shoulder buttons need generate support enabled.  

The D-pad is split into two pieces to allow it to print without support.  
Use a dab of glue to attach the "D-pad-pin" with the pointy side facing out towards the PCB.  
The "D-pad-pin" prevents left and right or up and down from being pressed at the same time.  

After printing the faceplate and shoulder buttons, thoroughly remove all support material.
