Arcade Fight Stick Joystick

thingiverse

I originally designed this project using longer arcade buttons, such as those found at https://www.banggood.com/5V-Arcade-Push-Button-Durable-Long-Switch-Multicolor-p-957099.html. I wanted to utilize these buttons because they are incompatible with the design created by elkayem. This design allows for flipping the top part, enabling me to decide whether I want the joystick positioned left or right. The USB controller used is called 'zero delay arcade usb encoder.' I produced two versions of this project: one printed in white PLA and another in wood. Both were printed with identical resolution and infill settings. However, I encountered a notable difference between the two prints. The wooden version required sanding before I could assemble the bottom and top parts together, whereas the white PLA print worked seamlessly from the start. The joystick is secured by 4x M4 nuts and screws. I printed this project on an Anycubic I3 Mega, requiring adjustments to the printer settings in order to slice it correctly using cura (X: 215, Y: 215, Z: 205). Interestingly, despite having holes for screwing the top and bottom parts together, I chose not to do so because my prints were already very tightly connected and showed no signs of loosening.
