Virpil / Warthog HOSAS extension

thingiverse

HOSAS extension ============== HOSAS extension designed for Virpil Constellation Alpha joystick. This should work, or be adaptable to other Virpil grips, to Warthog grips, or any grip using a M36x2 thread. The extension is designed to work as a single print. For testing & checking purposes, print a captive nut and with a grip nut, and use these to work out any issues. I've included a scaled HOSAS file. This is the one used for my working extension. For the captive (or base) nut, both the x and y diameters have been adjusted. (x: 1.0247, y: 1.03077). This suits my printer and filament, and fitted my base very easily after clean up. The grip bolt didn't need adjustment. The threads were made using Adrian Schlatter's thread lib (here: https://github.com/adrianschlatter/threadlib ). This in turn depends on a few other downloads, linked on that download page. Other Parts --------------- *Extension Cable* ---------------------- You will also need a suitable extension cable. I bought a 35 cm cable from skypetrew on EBay, here: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292244604143 Alternatively, you could make one yourself using a pair of 5-pin miniDINs and some suitable cable. Either way, the centre hole of the female socket needs easing for Virpil's grip plug.
