Description :

This model is 250 x 150 x 47 mm so it fits my Bambu P1S print bed. 

I was inspired by the design of the 8BitDo Arcade Stick.

I used the Textured PEI Plate for the top and bottom parts and the 3D Effect Carbon Fiber Plate for the buttons base.
If you don't want to make a multicolor model there is a file for that (Arcade-stick_top-full)

Printing :

I used basic print settings with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height with supports and brim activated.

It is a little less than 300g and around 8hours of printing

Assembly :

• Print the top part and remove the supports.

• With a soldering iron, place the inserts. There are 4 for holding the stick and 7 more to close the box. 

• Print the buttons base.

• Snap it into the top part, it should be enough but you can glue it if you want.

• Screw the stick in place.

• Insert the buttons. 

• Connect everything to the controller board.

• Screw the bottom part and add small non-slip pads for better grip

• And voilà ! That's it, enjoy
