Looking to Frankenstein a Saturn mk2 DPad into a modern controller (self.consolemods)

Was wondering if anyone had experience with Frankensteining together different parts from different controllers, and how I could go about it cleanly.

I'm looking to have some kind of modern controller (preferably a DualSense), but with an actually good DPad, specifically the Sega Saturn Mk2 controller. Wondering if I should bother with trying to modify the shell, or if I should just custom design a new shell to fit the DPad. I feel like 3D printing would result in much lower quality compared to injection molded plastic, so not 100% sure about that idea.
