Make A Foam Rubber Grip For Your SE Controller
September 29th, 2003 by crazydave
My SE controller cramps my hand up, and I wanted a longer handle. So here’s what I did, I picked up some of this Crayola Model Magic stuff from the grocery store. It’s a modeling compound that dries into foam rubber.
I used two of the individual packs that come inside. I smashed and formed it around the base of the controller, and then formed the handle part. After I had it the way I wanted, I took an exacto knife and trimmed the edge to clear the important stuff, also to give it a nice straight edge.
I didn’t have to glue it (yet). I squished about 3/4 of an inch around the bottom to hold it. Then I had to cut it away on the front and where the trigger is, and I think there is about 1/4 of an inch left in those areas.
It’s plenty durable for regular use, but I’m afraid one good smack will knock it off. We’ll see.
I colored it with a marker, and it looks good, and isn’t coming off on my hand at all.
Lo-Pro PCB Cover

So here’s the prob, some bodies just need to be lowered to look right, some of us just like to slam our cars, either way, your gonna end up tossing out the PCB cover, but how do we hold our car together now? Most of us revert to tape. I reverted to tape. Funtional, but I just thought it looked sloppy, and even more so I hate the tape gooies, and all the dirt they pick up.
