CyberBrick ARCCASTER AC-1 - Cyber Wielder Sidearm

ARCCASTER AC-1 - CyberBrick Remote Controller

Become a Cyber Wielder by printing this trusty one-handed  remote controller sidearm.

Designed to command most CyberBrick creations, the ARCCASTER brings the control to your fingertips in the form of a compact one-handed remote. The Dual Axis Joystick, 3-position rocker switch, and momentary button are always at the reach of your thumb, while the Single Axis Trigger handles throttle and other precision functions.

• Easy to print with minimal easy to remove support
• Precision engineered for a compact package of form and function
• Uses rechargeable Li-ion battery and power switch
• Fast battery access through a sliding, magazine-like, bottom plate
• Ergonomic and adaptable with customizable grip and trigger (.step files included)
• Power switch access at bottom 
• Core can be changed without tools
• Further customization possibility of Core cover (.step file included)

I've printed four themes for inspiration - Desert, Night, Arctic and Jungle (see model images). Please share your design photos in the comments. I eagerly wait what is your vision of what the Cyber Wielder's sidearm should look like.

Remixing:

Please share your customized Core cover, Joystick, Trigger and Grip in the print profiles for easy access to everyone.

Tip! Glue the grip with minimal amount of glue for easy replacement with future mods.

BoM:

You will need CyberBrick Ultimate Hardware Kit or Beginner Hardware Kit and an additional battery and power switch. The full list of components is in the assembly instructions. Purchasing the parts via the links in this model supports my work.

Assembly:

Follow the assembly PDF attached to this model page and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Do take a look at the alternate parts in print profiles in case you want to build with mods from the beginning.

Adapting to other projects:

The provided json config works directly with the CyberBrick Official Forklift and can be easily adapted to other projects. Below is the control scheme for the Forklift and an empty template for creating your own control instructions.

Happy making!

Designing this controller was very fun but challenging and took many iterations to perfect. I hope you enjoy the printing, assembly and use of the ARCCASTER AC-1 and are inspired to create and share your own mods.
