For controllers such as the Xbox Elite, the carrying case has a known problem of stressing the analog sticks. A good practice is to remove the joysticks before putitng the controller into a case, but turning the case upside down could mean wear on the analog sticks.

This part covers the joystick and prevents the stick from getting pressed on by the case. The SCAD file shown can be adapted for other joysticks.

In practice, I removed the top portion to create a ring but the idea is to help prevent lots of movement around the joystick. A lip thickness can be specified, but this was more trouble than it was worth.

I might come back to clean it up and maybe simplify it some, but for now it meets my needs and maybe it could be of interest to fellow Xbox Elite Controller owners.
