So after building my [My cheap X-Controller Vision](https://community.inventables.com/t/my-cheap-x-controller-vision/44294) I needed to make something to hold my Start. Pause, and Stop buttons. So I designed and 3D printed a remote control so the controller could be under the table and give me easy access to the buttons.

Original design

I lengthen the final remote a half inch and the buttons arrived and are installed

Just need to wire it up!

Well I didn’t take any other pics, but it’s pretty straight forward and here is a diagram and the remotes stl file if you want to 3d print or carve one. I used Cat 5 cable to wire it which was perfect for size.
