I wanted to craft a baseball bat stick that could seamlessly attach to my arcade kit, while also being tough enough to withstand the intense gaming sessions I'm notorious for. The metal component is a robust M6 rivet sourced from Amazon, which provides a secure hold without requiring any adhesive. The cylindrical part boasts 100% infill, allowing it to snugly fit onto the rivet with a mere tap of a hammer - no glue necessary. Once assembled, everything should slide into place within the stick, eliminating the need for any additional adhesives. Finally, I'll finish off the piece with some sanding, filler, primer, and paint - my own will be a sleek anthracite hue, matching the color scheme of my custom case. edit: I've since incorporated the "LONGD" design into the project, which may look unconventional at first glance, but its ergonomic shape is designed to fit comfortably in the hand, especially for those accustomed to using high-precision joysticks like those found on vintage home computers, such as the Commodore 64 and Amiga.
