DIY office chair cockpit for VR(HTC VIVE/OCULUS) with x52 hotas

Space pirate trainer? Pfffttt, sit your ass down, fire up Elite Dangerous VR and live the life of a space pirate! You'll need: - X52 - Chair - Filament - 3.5mm MDF board or whatever you have handy - Scrap foam to keep a solid clamp (amount depends on thickness of chair arms) - 12 5/16th 3" - 3 1/2" hex bolts and nuts - 8 m3 10mm machine screws and nuts - 4 m4 60mm machine screws and nuts - Misc superglue/epoxy - 3D printer (duh!) - Dremel/handsaw/cnc/laser cutter for control plates, svgs supplied You don't need an n52te! If you don't have or want the n52 portion, don't print the additional support and just one more joyplate set. Flip the plates before gluing together so the bolt holes line up. My prints were done at 0.3mm layer height with PetG and 40% infill with 4 perimeters. Total print time was near 20 hours (due to PetG and high infill) but this could be lowered to around 10 with ABS on a fast printer and slightly lower infill. Next, I'm waiting for an 81-key mechanical keyboard to arrive so I can design a keyboard plate. I'll also redesign the joyplate to have a small mouse pad to the side like the throttle has room for the speedpad. This way, it can function as a complete VR-ready desk with the aid of Bigscreen or Virtual Desktop.
