3d printed custom arcade stick i made to use at the local bi weekly guilty gear strive and street fighter 6 brackets.

For the last 10 or 12 years I've been using a Madcatz Fightstick pro xbox 360 arcade stick but I got tired of using adapters to play on ps4/ps5 because they were causing issues with missed inputs and added latency so I built this controller with an open source board that supports usb passthrough authentication so the console gets inputs directly from the controller.

It uses a 16x6 inch aluminum plate for the top and bottom panels and a gp-2040ce for the pcb(with a magicboots adapter for ps5 support), the lever is a crown newhelpme lever and the buttons are 6 Seimitsu snap in buttons and 2 Punkworkshop buttons.

I ran into a skill issue using heat set inserts so i just made everything either screw into plastic or use captive nuts for the more secure bits.

list of tools and stuff used.

  • software: Freecad and orca slicer
  • 3d printer: Elegoo Neptune 4 pro(this thing sucks)
  • 30mm hole cut saw drill bit.
  • random assortment of drill bits for the mounting holes.
  • 1x m8 threaded rod to connect the wrist rest halves
  • 4x m8 bolts
  • 8x m6 bolts
  • 4x m4 bolts for the lever mount
  • 2x 16x6x1/8 inch aluminum plates

Why don't you countersink the holes instead so they're flush?

I considered it but i test drove the setup without it and wasnt bothered by them poking out so I decided against it. plus i like the brutal look
