Work has kept me almost entirely away from personal projects, so last weekend I sat down and made this:

You can look at Top.stl and Bottom.stl. This is based on my old Floppy Drive Fight Stick:

I am looking how to build a single run for testing. The bottom part has a cutout to fit the common PS360 / etc PCB I see going around.

The stick is 190mm long, and has the Blast City layout reproduced 100%. Fits standard OBSF buttons and the JLF Sanwa stick mount. It would not be hard to add the fourth column of buttons.

Just looking for some feedback and suggestions for what could be done to it if anything. Not sure if I'll ever get it really manufactured because it's expensive to do so. If you want to get one printed however you want, be my guest.

That's what she said.

I like those mock ups. What software are you using?

it looked like the rear panel might be a little crowded for 2 more buttons. i was thinking one per side closest to the rear. but thats all a matter of taste anyways.

Are you mounting the JLF flush? Or on the upcoming stick do you have space inside to mount it a bit under the inside of the panel?

so I decided to try actually printing this thing:

I don't have the JLF yet or any more buttons, but I can get those soon. I need to find a suitable PCB for it as well.

Those buttons are the same color as my grandpa's velcro shoes.

not bad actually. Maybe lions3 can add it to his reportoire ;)
Sure would be nice to have a small stick like this for traveling... then again, that's handheld time.
