Atari 000609-02 Joystick (and shifter) Housing and Ball

thingiverse

These joystick housings and balls in my Battlezone were worn out - the typical slop. These parts solve that. There are 4 variations depending on what works best for you: round vs octagon and with/without support.Round: If you want a pretty precise reproduction, you'll want this. Printability is the issue here. It's hard to support a part like this without the surface quality suffering.Octagon: If you want a part that prints easier and looks better, you'll want this. Of course it doesn't look like the original from the outside, but it's not visible to the player so this is my preference.With support: Though 45 degree angles typically don't need supports, I had some trouble with the area this supports printing properly without designing a built in support to assist. This helped me get successful prints. I recommend this for both octagon and round. You still need to enable supports in your slicer if you use a "with support" model.Without support: You might have better luck than I did without them. You might be able to save a small amount of time and material with generated supports rather than my built in supports, or perhaps you're better at tweaking support settings to address this trouble spot than I am.If you have any questions or difficulties, comment here or reach out on the klov forums and I'll try to assist.
