Arcade Controller with Side Pinball Buttons

This 3D-printed arcade controller was designed for a classic 6-button layout with additional pinball buttons on both sides - perfect for retro gaming, emulators, or custom DIY builds. 🎮

It offers a clean design, solid structure, and plenty of space for wiring and internal components.

There are 4 different bottom cover designs included, giving you a few options depending on your preferred look. 

The controller requires 4 × M4 × 6 mm countersunk screws for the bottom cover and 4 × M2 × 6 mm screws for the PCB, along with the matching heat-set inserts. 

For the PCB mounts, 1–2 inserts are usually enough.

The joystick mounts use 4 × M5 × 8 mm screws with the matching M5 nuts,.

I’m using a Sanwa-style joystick and 28 mm arcade buttons, which fit perfectly into the default hole sizes - but the button openings can easily be adjusted if you're using different hardware.

Feel free to customize the case with your own colors or button configurations - I’d love to see your build! If you assemble one, share your makes and show your setup. 

As always, don’t forget to share your makes - I’m super curious to see which filaments, colors, and arcade parts you used! 🎮
