I am glad that you like it.

You mean THIS PART? There is only one side for this part, it cannot fit any other way. Side with detents goes back. It is for Leading Edge Saab A340 and I don't know if it works. It was drawn per request and I have not received feedback for it yet.

Shapeways does printing and shipping. I only upload models on their web site. I think only option is UPS. It is around 15$ in Europe, it doesn't matter how small the printed model is. There is nothing that I can do about that. I'll buy Prusa I3 Mk3 printer in about 2 months, maybe then I'll have models that I can print and ship myself. I always ship via regular airmail, it is 3$ more or less for whole world.

HERE and HERE.

Yes, you can use any switch you want, that is not a problem. I can send a PCB without switches, that is OK. "Recce button and thumb switch" If you mean 3-way thumb switch, at the moment it will be difficult. It is possible but wires should be soldered directly on chip legs which are tiny. I wasn't thinking of this before and I forgot to add connectors for extra switches. I'll add those connectors on new version, when I order new PCBs it takes about a month or so before they arrive from China.

Great, I am glad that iz works. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you!

Here is what you need, there are stl that you can download and print them yourself. http://damienstpierre.com/blog/?page_id=337

Is this what you need. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=180537 This will cost around 120$. In what way do you want to attach it to the rest of collective?

Huey collective looks simple but I need some measurmets, there must be something somewhere on the internet. I have a few original hat switches for huey.

Recently I have access to 3D printer. A friend of mine bough Prusa 3D printer. Now I can print stuff from time to time. It is not like SLS printers from Shapeways but quality is really good if you prepare your models in right way. I was surprised by strength of PLA, It is not crap at all. This is good because now I can test stuff before I send them to my Shapeways store. One thing that I wanted to print are grip holders, since I have a few of them and they take a lot of space. I designed two versions. Here is what transparent PLA models look like. They are 40% density, so not full like Shapeways. Prusa software does that automatically, you just have to choose density percentage. Photos are not the best but that can be seen, printer makes something like bee hive pattern. Threads were perfect, no problems with them at all. Here it is with my Warthog grip. It will work with T-50 grip and with any grip that warthog mounting style. It works with original Warthog nut, Gardena nut and my printed Locking nuts. Everything can be found HERE.

Is this one with hall sensors or pots? I use 4 pin version because it is with halls, it is also a bit bigger then other thumbsticks. My plan is to make a mount and amplifier, that is enough for me because my warthog will work on mmjoy2.

It has analog output, but amplifier will make it same as "normal" thumbstick with 3 pins.

I’ll make PCB as optional, I like to work with PCBs, but it is not necessary. I’ll make a version of holder for PS3 hall sensor version only. Amplifier PCB is necessary, I’ll try to make it as small as possible.

You can download this one, it is Eagle cad format. You can take dimensions easily from file.

You can use old led, but I think it is not very bright. Once I added resistor of 330 Ohms, but probably any value up to 1k will be OK.

Somebody already made PCB for Alps thumbstick. Maybe whole amplifier could be fitted on PCB this size with SMD components.

I was thinking of that, but it is too much work. Maybe one day.

If you don't need it, I can find a home for it.

I also need 486 PC for programming.

Programmer is bigger part to the left, cartridge is smaller part.

That is my next project, give me a week or two.

For pots it is 2mm spacing I think, and switch is 2,54. I dont kniw the rest, I'll put it in scanner and make something for you soon

Here is what I used There are 2 poles for each axis, but don't use them at the same time because they are offset to each other 180 degrees and negate each other. Use one or another.

What is is this? It looks awesome.
