Build Instructions

The design comes with four 3D printed parts: two for the lever and two for the casing. Combine the top and bottom halves of the case by fitting a straightened paper clip through the hole to create a hinge.


Then, secure the two levers to the case using a #8-3/4" screw and a #8-32 cap nut. Clip the case around the PS4 controller.
