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 still like team fortress 2 but after 6000+ hours of actual playtime I'm not in love with it anymore and I only play it on rare occasions with old friends.
