Scratch built arcade stick

Hey guys, I’m a huge 3d printing fan and have been scratch building an arcade stick. It’s laser cut acrylic frame (the brown protective sheets are still on in the photos below) with 3d printed corner joints and 3d printed mount bracket for a Cthulhu controller. The top sits at a comfortable 10 degree angle.





The top panel is actually two pieces which allow custom graphics to be sandwiched in between. I’ve been designing a Gundam Wing themed stick and here are the WIP graphics I plan to print for it:


I’m hoping to build these for people with their own custom graphics and make my own games for them too. I’d love some feedback!

If you were in the market for a custom stick, rank qualities you’d shop for:
- low price
- competition quality buttons and joysticks
- multi-console (e.g. ps3/pc AND xbox) compatibility
- portability
- "give me the bare bones parts so I can customize it myself"

Thanks for looking!
