the arm is not long enough by it's self to latch on to a 7 inch tablet, though I might make a special version with an extra long arm if you want.

More importantly though, it would be highly impractical due to weight. It already feels really top-heavy with the Galaxy Note, anything larger and you would have to keep a death grip on it at all times or it might slip out of your hand!

If you are still undeterred, I'll see what I can do.
[General Accessories] Phoenixwind:
I suppose we will have to wait and see about the weight of the tablet, I've found the kfire to be a solid weight, but it is over double the weight of the note, there would have to be something to counterbalance the weight of the tablet, then. So there would have to be a smartphone version, and a tablet version? wouldn't be able to have a universal one?

Thanks for your input on this scenario.
[General Accessories] Finagle69:
I understand about the looseness of the base. I'll make a point to pick up some foam tape from the store soon.

The screw hole I'm referring to is the front clasp for the controller. Mine was printed horizontally - that is - if you look at the controller, the terracing goes right-to-left.

I'll take a photo of my thumb screw and my "fix" screw tonight, along with a Youtube vid of the unit in action.
[General Accessories] Finagle69:
Some photos showing my modifications to make it work.

And a Youtube vid. :)

[General Accessories] gilrad:
Nice idea with the NFC mod! That's awesome!

As for the screw hole... Did you originally try various types of "computer case-sized" screws? Just want to be certain the problem is in the screw hole size.

I haven't received any complaints about the screw hole to the clasp though, so you might even be able to simply chalk it up to printing errors. If anybody else has a problem with the front clasp screw hole being too big on vertically-oriented prints, I'll see if I can't get Shapeways to avoid that orientation.
[General Accessories] Finagle69:
Honestly I just robbed a couple of thumb screws from my wife's tower so I didn't have any other thumb screws to try. The hole diameter itself seemed fine as the screw started threading. I think it was just too short. This wood screw I'm using seems fine enough though.
[General Accessories] gilrad:
Ah if the problem was the screw was too short, then I don't think it's that big of a deal. The computer screws you used were probably shorter than usual. That's a relief, I didn't want to have to make any changes that might break functionality :)
[General Accessories] Finagle69:
Yeah no worries really. With what I did to make it work its just fine. If I had one suggestion to make, it would be to rework the adapter so that the phone sits further away from the dpad/4 buttons in order for more room for hectic game play. I realize that's a big effort, but if you'd like to give that a shot, I'd be open to testing it out.
[General Accessories] superfougere:
Awesome !

I just bought a Galaxy Note, and I was wondering if a good pad existed somewhere.

This project is just what I need. I will give it a try.

Thanks Gilrad, and all others that made it possible.
[General Accessories] iakovl:
well... just got my car mount in the mail for 9$

this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/280826940727?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

going to use a dremel to cut and remove the base and then use good old epoxy to make it stick well... might be non removable solution, but! the phone holder had the standard "socket" if i switch phones i just need a new holder or make on myself, all i really need is the arm
[General Accessories] jourdans:
is andraxis and sixaxis app compatible with S3?
[General Accessories] gilrad:
Andraxis should be compatible; it's made to work with phones as big as the Note.

As for the software, you can use the sixaxis compatibility checker tool to find out!
[General Accessories] gilrad:
I have been getting a lot of shipment notices lately. Hope you guys enjoy it!
[General Accessories] Daiben:
Just put in my order. I've got the icontrolpad already but I've been hoping for a long time that someone would come up with a good way to make a universal clamping system that would be more adaptable to a wider range of phones. This looks perfect.

I wanna

I'm in Brazil, and I'm thinking in buying this product. There's no risk in no delivering right?
[General Accessories] gilrad:
Shapeways uses UPS shipping, so if UPS is known for delivering without problem then it should be okay.
[General Accessories] Brazooka:
I'm also from Brazil. I gave up this project because with UPS shipping will be charged all customs fees like import tax of 60%, for example.

In the end you will pay more than R$ 100 in taxes, aproximately US$ 50 ... good luck. :(
[General Accessories] AmoJ:
It's expensive, isn't it? For the little piece of plastik
[General Accessories] gilrad:
The cost is a combination of the patent holders to 3d printing technology locking down the consumable print material (Similar to what happened with ink jet printers in the 90s), and Shapeways being utterly boneheaded about shipping options. They've been "working on more shipping options" for over six months.
[General Accessories] :
The snap-in mechanism for the telescoping arm is a little stiff, but it works perfectly after its been worked a few times.
[General Accessories] sheamus:
Shipping is only $6.50 to Canada. I was surpised, I expected to be hosed.

Does anyone know if this works with the PhoneJoy? If phonejoy would smart, they would be shipping something like this.

Edit: It should be possible to use this to create an injection mold, and produce these for about $0.50?
[General Accessories] gilrad:
Unless you have an injection moulder sitting in your back yard, I'll stick to 3d printing.

Getting it molded would involve setting myself up as a business, finding a reliable Chinese company willing to work with incredibly low production runs, dropping ten to twenty thousand dollars as a lump sum for setup costs, establishing a logistics method to store and ship unsold units, and dealing with the risk of a run that doesn't sell out.

Plus I rather like the idea of being in charge of an open developed spare time project that functionally can compete with the big boys. This is something that is really only possible Thanks to the infrastructural developments in 3d print technology over the past two years or so.
[General Accessories] Drumaster:
Hello everyone!

I'm about to buy one but as it's very expensive for a plastic thing (but I think I understand why), my question is: is it something solid and will it last in time if I'm not trying to break it? Because Shapeways ask me 42.84€ for it (item + shipping)...

Thanks!
[General Accessories] gilrad:
I designed it to be as robust as possible considering how expensive it would inevitably end up. I still have my rev. 2 sitting in my bag (a rather unforgiving environment), and it still works just fine after all these months. I also took the unsuccessful rev. 1 and did some stress tests and found it to be pretty dang hard to snap the material. It can retain memory after some heavy bending (though there is a point where it loses memory).

Anyway, I can't think of any real-world wear and tear scenarios that could break it. Exceptional amounts of force like standing on it with all your weight might do something, but I don't foresee things like dropping it or putting it in a packed bag doing any damage.
[General Accessories] Finagle69:
I second this. Its very strong.
[General Accessories] Drumaster:
Great! You convinced me, ordered a rev. 3! Thanks!
[General Accessories] b0bba:
Any one that got a rev 3 and can give a mini review of it? Its a bit expensive to order one to Sweden with out knowing what you get. In fact its cheaper to order a after marker ps3 controller, a SPEEDLINK TRACE Chat Keyboard and a hard plastic phone cover from ebay (I was looking from seller form the EU only, go to China and its even cheaper) and do a DIY mod with the speedlink clip you get with the keyboard and the hard case. But The Andraxis Project "Looks" better imo :) Hope some one got the time to do a review of the rev 3 that would be great :)
[General Accessories] tm21fourt3:
very interesting stuff.....Works well with the Evo 4g Lte?
[General Accessories] xStagGx:
UPS delivered black rev3 today, after few days delay and well, im prty impressed. I thought that this will be made from some crappy, cheap and breakable plastic... but it's not - it looks prty durable.

But hole size for this tiny screw on the front should be a bit bigger thought.

By the way:

I think others will agree.

So, if we has spent:

- 50eur on ps3 pad

- 44eur on andraxis

- 2? eur on sixaxis app

Just to enjoy gaming on our android device:

So we probably could spent another tens of eur for CASE u project! - to safe journey with our lovely stuff :)

- cheaper version, just for andraxis

- more expensive version for andraxis and ps3 pad (and maby slot for ps3 charger?)

yay!

just came across this product that looks very interesting. I ordered one for my LTE galaxy nexus.

Review/pics of Rev. 2/3?

If anyone here could share some pictures or their thoughts on their Andraxis that would be nice, I'm still confused on how the attachment works. This looks great and I'm considering buying one myself :)
[General Accessories] gilrad:
I'll post some of my rev. 1 pics if nobody else steps up.

Also, if anybody is willing to post pics of rev. 3, could you also tell me how the stand is working out? I kind of threw that in on a whim, and still haven't heard about how well it turned out.
[General Accessories] Drumaster:
Yeah and thegameklip does not allow to have it in your pocket a convenient way (Andraxis can be folded).

A question : I ordered my rev3, so are the screws included or do I have to find some spare ones?

Regards,

David
[General Accessories] gilrad:
The screws are separate. Unless there is a printing error (Sometimes happens, but the Shapeways team are great about correcting them), standard computer case-sized screws will fit. If you have a desktop computer, you could probably commandeer the two you will need from your case.
[General Accessories] irfarf:
hi, i'm interested in ordering one of these.

i just have a few questions

1. will it work with any android device? (i have a captivate and thinking to switch to sII in near future, will it fit for both?)

2. in shapeways, the cheapest the rev2 could be is 14 euro but it used sandstone. is it usable or i need the minimum of standard white plastic one?

3. i'm still not clear as to the initial setup of the andraxis, do i just snap it to the controller, setup the 2 screws, sets som scotch tape if needed and put my phone in it? or i need more steps to it.

4. could you upload a new video to youtube? the one i found is only unboxing of rev 0 and one that's already in it's place.

thx for answers!
[General Accessories] gilrad:
In response to your questions:

1. It is designed to work with any device. The only concern might be if it were exceptionally thick and with a curved back, but I don't foresee anything being unable to fit.

2. Strong white and flexible is suggested. Sandstone doesn't have any flex so you won't be able to wrap it around the controller.

3. That's about right. The setup is actually pretty simple. Oh and if you mean clear plastic Scotch tape, that won't be helpful. You need something like foam tape or something that can conform to the contours of your phone.

4. As for more videos... I don't really have a good setup for making videos. I have been sort of relying on my users to put together the info needed by new users... hasn't really been very effective strategy so far.

Love, Peace, Chicken Grease!
[General Accessories] fosselman:
Looks like a good thing to get if you don't already have a ps3 controller. I'd rather pay a little more for the new icontrolpad, assuming they meet their goal.

www.kickstarter.com/projects/1703567677/icontrolpad-2-the-open-source-controller

edit:

Actually it is $37 more for the icontrolpad with the phone holder so I guess that is a bit of a price difference compared to the moga controller.
[General Accessories] gilrad:
The newest version of the iControlpad looks interesting, though anybody who has been through the whole OpenPandora fiasco might understand why I am reluctant to place too much faith into Craig and company.

Anyway, there's some interesting developments going on with this project, hopefully I can update you all soon...
[General Accessories] Kangal:
No need to be skeptical.

I'm from the OPandora fiasco, and I ended up cancelling my order because the device hadn't shipped to me by the time EPIC 4G was out.

Other points was the screen size, thickness, resistive touch, Android's increasing stability&ecosystem and the outdated SoC.

However, the team made a valiant effort and it only took the device 2 months* to ship. With the iControlPad they focused on the iPhone people and it was a success. With their experience and everything the iControlPad2 is going to be a breeze to go from molten to product to shipping. Having KickStarter is going to make it x1,000 easier for them.

But they STUFFED up again. Little detail, BIG ISSUE. For me.

The size. Its only the size of an iPhone 4, so its small. It means the gamepad is cramped and extremely uncomfortable. This isn't my opinion, its a FACT. And the keyboard is going to be cramped too. They should stop targetting the MINORITY and start targeting Android devices, TV systems and consoles... so make the thing more comfy while a little bit larger. The size of the NOTE 2... that wouldn't be called "unportable" by any standard.

And yes, key size, key travel, maybe extra keys. And larger distance between the Thenar space and the Nubs!
[General Accessories] fosselman:
Can't wait to hear about the new developments.
[General Accessories] gilrad:
Hello everybody!

It's been a while. The developing news was a possibility of a company buying my design and selling them mass-produced.

Over a month later with no communication however, and I am willing to admit they've changed their minds.

Anyway, looking around, there are now similar products available to what I have made that are smaller, more compact, and much cheaper.

So as was my plan from the start, I'll be releasing the source model soon. Andraxis has served its purpose. Stay tuned!
[General Accessories] gilrad:
Source file uploaded into the first post. If you have any questions, let me know!
[General Accessories] fosselman:
How much work did it take? Just got mine today and it doesn't snap in at all. Not sure whether I should try to file a bit of the inside of the crack to get it to fit.

Edit: Nevermind got it to work.
[General Accessories] gilrad:
Yeah depending on the orientation the unit was printed in, there might be a bit of junk on the corner of the base piece that snaps into the arm. A razor and a bit of scraping will clear that up.
[General Accessories] kcajjones:
I recently ordered this but ShapeWays didn't send the telescopic arm part. Now they've miss-understood me and are saying they will refund me as the 1mm connection would break...I've tried to explain that it's designed to come apart and the arm part is missing from my order! On the plus side, with a gel case on my i9300 and with some padded tape on the underside of the Andraxis, the phone is pretty damn stable even without the clamping arm!
[General Accessories] gilrad:
It looks like there is a problem with missing parts still. Keep hammering Shapeways and they'll give you what you want.

Once my vacation is over and I am back at my PC, I'll see to making a revision that is less prone to being shipped minus one part.
[General Accessories] fosselman:
Do you think you could make one that fits a deeper case? I have this case on my galaxy note 2:

www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008AU1WOA?ie=UTF8&force-full-site=1&ref_=aw_bottom_links

but I have to take the kickstand part off to fit it in.
[General Accessories] gilrad:
I'll add it to my list of things to do.

Currently my room is a complete mess with a half-built computer transplant taking up my free time. Once I get it set up and the junk cleared away I'll get to the next release.
[General Accessories] moviecut:
Hi! Didnt hear anything for a long time here. My brother has a 3d printer now and i think i will try to print rev3....or will there be another rev in the next time?
[General Accessories] gilrad:
Hi,

It's been a long time since I've been to this thread. Interest kind of petered out once my project was no longer the only viable option to get some mobile gaming going. Anyway, someone PM'ed me requesting a .step file (which apparently some 3d printers use), so I went ahead and made a .step version as well.

Other than odd requests like that, I'm going to go ahead and say this project is more or less closed :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bhowanidin:
NEVER use ROM Manager to flash or back-up or restore a back-up. ClockworkMod Recovery is the only flashing/back-up tool you should use. ROM Manager is only useful for getting CWM onto your device.

I just downgraded from 1.4.1 to 1.4.0 and of course this rendered my n button into a broken state. The 'fix' on this forum is to hold down the n button and power until it reboots 8 times which will probably take half a lifetime of holding. It's waaaay easier just to go into settings, device info, and choose "Erase and Deregister your Nook". This resets it to factory condition WITH a working n button.

You guys can hold down power and n for the next half hour but I'd rather skip that.:confused:
