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
I put the holes in the side to save filament but ended up making a snap in panel for the start/select/home buttons so that was a happy accident. also I have since replaced the arcade stick bolts with button top hex head bolts so they fit better and look nicer and don't feel like hell when you drag your hand across them.
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
