Hi do you need to make a controller for a project you are making? Search no longer this is the instructable for you

Supplies

Here are the supplies needed:

3D printer (or you can use a printing service)

CAD software

I suggest Tinkercad and Onshape

Choose Your CAD

If you know which Cad to use go ahead!
