I’m having trouble fixing some problems that came up with the original Inventor files after I went through them again to make the final report for the Online Challenge so I’m not able to release those files yet, but I do have the .obj files from when I 3D Printed the prototype.
It might not be the best experience yet as it’s only V1 (for example, the bottom paddles are a bit awkward, and the clamshells need a ton of support), but if you really want them you can download it here:

Here's a quick guide for how to lay the parts out for 3d printing:
A,B,Left,Down paddles
These are pretty self explanatory to place: Flat side down, pointy side up.
Support material will be needed for the button pushers.
Y,Right paddles
These ones are also pretty self explanatory.
They might seem like they don’t need support material, but they do for a small cutout.
This cutout was necessary to let the washers on the screw joint have a flat surface to contact, while also keeping the angled button pusher easy to print
X,Up paddles
I printed these paddles in this orientation:
But you could do it like this if you wanted:
Support material is needed for both orientations.
Clamshell Halves
Both halves should be printed on their sides.
Quite a bit of support material will be needed.
If you have an option that says ‘Everywhere’, then just use that. It’ll be unnecessarily supported in a couple of places, but it’ll save a lot of time placing supports manually.
Holster Dovetail Slot Test
I printed it like this:
In which case supports are needed in the rectangular space underneath the locking arm, but shouldn’t be needed in the Dovetail Slot itself.
But I just now realized that you could place it like this if you wanted:
The locking arm might be a bit weaker, so look out for that, but then you should only need supports in the holes.
Edit:
Here’s a link to the USB-C adapter I used for the kit:
This is the Micro USB extension that will also be supported in V2: (You could make it work with V1 if you modified the screw spacing and the plug slot)
