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
Those screws around the lever do they dig into your wrist? Any particular reason for snap in buttons over screw? Did you get a pcb for the gp2040ce or solder up a pico?
the only screw that touches my hand is the top left one against my pinky and it doesn't bother me.
At first I got a pico and soldered it cause its cheaper then I realized i didn't want to solder on the usb port to get passthrough working so i just got a gp2040ce pcb that comes fully assembled with screw terminals/headers and a usb port already there for passthrough authentication.
The whole setup is sick.
