3D Printing of Arcade Joystick Parts anyone?

[Andy B]

I want to make my own 4 way and 8 way switching joysticks as per this video:

Could someone 3D print me the components (for a fee obviously) please? I have the .stl files for each component (there are two of them but I would need 4 parts in total since as I have 2 joysticks in my set-up).

Thanks in advance.

Andy

Yep, trust Thanks for that. The only two joysticks out there that would suit my needs are Ultimarc Servo Sticks, Ultra-sticks or Mag-sticks and none are ideal for what I want, hence going the DIY route.

Are these for display, or for actual use?

3D printing is great for the occasional use, however wouldnt be ideal for the printing of these to use as it doesnt have the side.side strength.... i remember when playing sensible soccer my Quickshot 2 used to take a right beating... 3d printing wouldnt stand up to that.
If it was printed in maybe PETG or ABS then you might be able to get away with it, however those are more difficult to print with (ABS also gives off fumes which arent great to the user so needs to be ventilated).

Yep, would be for use. I was wondering about the strength thing too. I guess the guy who made them must have considered the same issue though. My arcade machine doesn’t get much use (at least in normal times) so unless they just break straight away I don’t think wear and tear would be a big concern (depending on how cheap they are to make of course - I have absolutely no idea).
