LPT: you can 3D print a PCB for fit & feel testing

Attached: 1 image did you know? you can 3d print anything with that you can export as an .stl file. this is mostly for testing how thumbable the dpad and button cluster will be, also serves a guestimate for how big the eventual controller will be.

For the record, the printed part is over here: https://jade.moe/@oct2pus/110663696296464736

Pretty cool! Reminds me of the Alpakka controller experiment, which uses a conventional PCB but has a conductive plate used to trigger the gyros (similar to the steam controller, but this one has dual gyros, which allow for insane stability and accuracy). Video here and documentation here
- Def a cool controller. I remember reading about it awhile ago.
  My project will use a conventional pcb, I just needed to test the spacing of the buttons and get a literal reference for how big it'll be since I knew it was gonna be a bit chunky.
