PlayStation Controller Shell Repair
Spares support for older PlayStation products is patchy at best. Reproducing the controller shell repair locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. Variants differ between models and years, so we'll need your part (broken is fine) to match the exact one.

Why these break
Controller shells crack and battery doors vanish. Heat cycling is the killer here: years of expanding and contracting work-hardens the plastic until a routine bump becomes the final straw.
How we reproduce them
Complex geometry means we treat this as a small engineering project — scan, model, test print, refine. We'll quote before any work starts so there are no surprises.
We print these in ABS. ABS matches the look and feel of the factory plastic, takes a sanded or textured finish well, and handles everyday warmth without complaint.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
