Joystick

thingiverse

This is a joystick concept that has been under development for some time now. It relies on three potentiometers and an Arduino Nano to function effectively. Testing has shown that the design works exceptionally well. Additional features have also been incorporated, including rubber bands which are used to maintain the joystick's center position. A strong adhesive holds these rubber bands firmly in place, despite being a somewhat unconventional solution. A photo of the joystick in action with a drawing arm is also included, showcasing an intricate method of creating artwork. To build this project, several components will be necessary: four Bearing 624ZZ (13mm diameter, 5mm thickness, and 4mm hole), one Bearing 635 (19mm diameter, 6mm thickness, and 5mm hole), six M4x20mm screws with corresponding nuts, four M3x20mm screws with their matching nuts, and two additional M3x10mm screws paired with two more nuts. Three potentiometers are required for this project (B1 P160KN3K). The chosen potentiometer has a 50k Ohm rating due to availability. Refer to the print screen provided for precise dimension details. This joystick was printed using PET-G material at a resolution of 0.2mm.
