Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle Modular Replacement Wheel Axis

thingiverse

This part is designed to replace the grey axis wheel to the right of the throttles on the Thrustmaster Warthog throttle with the goal of allowing for modules to be added on. See https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5162955 for my AV-8B nozzle handle designed specifically for this part. Once printed, the two holes on the handle should be tapped with an M3x0.5 tap. Swapping is pretty straightforward once you've removed the back plate from the housing. This is designed to reuse the center disk on the OEM piece as well as the OEM bracket with two screws that holds the main shaft in place. I recommend using a high viscosity grease when reassembling to create the right amount of friction. If the wheel still moves too freely for your liking you can melt a small amount of hot glue or even melted PLA onto the shaft portion that rides under the bracket held on by two screws for added friction. Note: Due to tight tolerances, the end of the shaft that fits onto the "D" portion of the OEM potentiometer may require a little fitting. If it is too large you can use a bit of hot glue or PLA to create a tighter fit. If it is too small you can use needle files to fine tune. I may upload a new version if I can get the sizing consistently correct.
