Switch Panel for ATS/ETS

thingiverse

This is a customizable switch panel designed specifically for Simulation Games like American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator, but its versatility makes it suitable for use in many other simulator games. An updated version of this design can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3408356. The creator of this design envisioned using it with a universal joystick controller, which was purchased on eBay from the seller offering Zero-Delay Arcade USB Encoder DIY Kit For MAME Fight Stick for $4.99 at https://www.ebay.com/itm/Zero-Delay-Arcade-USB-Encoder-PC-to-Joystick-Button-DIY-Kit-For-MAME-Fight-Stick/122449660871. To complete the switch panel, an assortment of toggle and push buttons was ordered from Amazon. Links to these products are provided below: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LY55XEG https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0752RMB7Q The joystick controller may require eight 2mm screws to secure it properly to the panel. Since the switch mounting holes on the panel are undersized, users have the option of selecting alternative switches and drilling new holes or editing the STL file in Fusion 360. To facilitate this process, a link is provided to the original Fusion 360 source file, which can be modified as needed. For those who prefer a more polished look, links to Panel Mount (https://a360.co/2G59tmw) and Switch Panel (https://a360.co/2FQX9H6) are included in the design files. One of the most convenient features of this switch panel is its compatibility with Graphtec vinyl cutters. Using these machines, users can create custom overlays that match their switch mapping in various games. For instance, Farm Simulator and Truck Simulator players can easily switch between games while maintaining consistent button names on their overlays. The creator has included a Silhouette Studio File to aid in this process, making it easy for users to customize their switch panel according to their preferences.
