I designed this piece to be able to pull my controller away from the printer itself. I found a bunch of other options for this but decided I anted one of my own design instead.
The holes on the front are threaded to the proper size for the default screws that attach the controller to frame of the printer, so no hardware should be needed. However, I did purchase a longer 10 pin cable to connect the controller so I can pull it a bit farther away from the machine, like while standing. The cable I purchased is just down below, and it works 100%.

I highly suggest printing this piece with the screw holes facing downward, and with a 50% or more infill for the weight. At 20%, it just feels flimsy and doesn't hold well. I also used supports for the "touching buildplate" parts which added quite a bit to the time because its essentially printing the whole block, but it was worth
