I have a spinal cord injury (C3) since birth and been a gamer for 20+ years. Last year, a surgery on my right hand prevented me to hold the controller as I used to do. 3D printing to my rescue!

I modeled an extension for the left shoulder buttons, now I can easily reach them with my right hand. My goal was to come up with a solution that is non-destructive and easy to attach. The extensions can be replaced easily for future changes.The coolest feature is that you can aim and shoot with one “button”: If I push the extension for L1 gently it aims, if I push it firmly it shoots, as it is long enough to push the R1 button indirectly.3D printing is really awesome for people like me, I modeled and printed so many custom little helpers already. Definitely makes my life more easy and even gaming more accessible, as in this case.Edit: Link to Thingiverse – http://bit.ly/2vlenoG http://bit.ly/2UF5vo3
