Anybody recognize this..? :)

I made my own joystick handle.

It has:

3 stage trigger

3 stage mode switch

1 rotary encoder

2 buttons

So... What is it? :)

Nice radar stick!

Super nice is what it is :)

That is one good looking radar stick!

Thanks guys!

Glad someone recognized it!

It's not a 100% replica, as purists can see. I had to make some design concessions to be able to fit the electronics.

Black is the wrong colour as well, but I liked the alu/black look.

Now I'll get crackin' on the base. I'm using a old VKB gimbal I had.

Very well made, purist as you say may chouse to look away ;-)

Thanks, Duckling!

You know, form follows function... ;)

I WANT ONE! :) you putting up instructions on how to make it??

From what and how did you make the grip ? 0.0 Doesnt look 3d printed first sight.

It is 3D printed. Then sanded and painted a couple of times.

good stuff ! :)

What are your plans with the STL files? :D

No plans, what so ever! :)

You want them?

Problem is that they are designed for a VKB Thrustmaster adapter. I guess they would work with the regular Thrustmaster Cougar or Warthog adapter as well.

You would also need to find the same switches I use. All are available on ebay.

cool stuff! 3D printer + know how in electronics + enthusiasm = great set for cockpit builder:thumbup:

Indeed! These are great times! :)

Or you can keep them and start selling sticks. I'm sure you can find a balanced price to gett enough customers for a small to medium profit, sa long as your available time permits that is

I have no such aspirations... I do this because it's fun. I intend to keep it as a hobby.

But I'd gladly help anyone wanting to build their own.

Honorable approach

And it sure is fun to build these kind of stuff yourself when the result get as good as this

Yes ;)

Which tool did you use to design the stick? I think we could also use a generic 3d-printed gimbal.

Yes ;)

I use TurboCad for Mac.

I could easily change the handle to fit other connectors. And since it's "just" a radar controller, it doesn't have to have a very strong centering force, or a very sophisticated gimbal.

Yes, my initial idea was to build such a radar stick based on a mini joystick/thumbstick and an Arduino but modeling the grip was a bit to complicated for me. Coding and electronics are more or less no-brainer for me...

I see. Well, this grip is probably too heavy, as it is. I wasn't sure about the strength since I wanted it on a regular joystick gimbal. I could lighten it, considerably, if you're going to use it on a small thumbstick. You would still need some centering force though.

Yes, thus I think a very simple printed gimbal with bearings would work...

Very cool! Very very cool!!!
