Flying Triceracop

That's realy impressive. Are you going to machine all the parts by your self? I have to admit, i would like to do this too but i don't have a milling machine and i think it would be really expensive to order custom aluminium parts online. Correct me if im wrong.

Hello, i've been thinking about building my own ffb joystick too. But i want to go in another direction. Instead of building something super strong and powerfull, I would like to 3d print the mechanics and use widely available drive components (exact specifications are yet to be determined). This has the huge advantage, that everybody with a 3D printer can reproduce it cheaply. I've got quite some experience with control theory and embedded system design so i think i could do the electronics but i newer used one of this PLA and ABS extruding 3D printers and don't know if it's possible to print the mechanics. Please tell me what you think about this idea. I will post any further updates on the project in this forum.
