3D Printed Warthog Extensions.

[Stevos758]

Ok. I am offering 3D printed extensions for the Thrustmaster Warthog.

 

I have all materials to make 10 right away and can ship them in the US. Anywhere else if you would like to find a way to reasonably ship.

 

Extensions will take roughly 5-7 days to build and ship from order date.

 

The extension tube is 1/2" OD 1.370" ID 6061 Aluminum alloy tubing. It will be custom cut to desired length. The adapters are high strength Taulman 645 Nylon. Cables will be included but will need to be modified. Tutorial to come soon.

 

Kit Price - $100 plus shipping.

 

Kit will include.

 

1x Male warthog adapter.

1x Female warthog adapter.

1x 6061 aluminum tube to length of choice.

1X 3ft Male to Female PS/2 cable. (NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED BY THE END USER FOR FIT!)

 

Tools required for install.

 

Hammer

Sharp knife to modify chord.

Drill with 3.2mm / 1/8" drill bit.

 

I will fully assemble and modify the cord for an additional $10

 

Normal kit will need to be assembles unless specified. If you assemble yourself you can adjust the rotation you wish your control stick to sit.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

For any custom 3D printing requests see this thread.

Nice! May I ask which printer you are using?

 

And good choice on the Taulman Nylon, incredibly tough stuff. Do you print these parts solid or what infill percentage is used?

[Stevos758]

I am using a highly modified solidoodle 3. : )

 

I am running .5 infill on these.

 

I am using the Taulman 645. Anything over .5 infill seems to be a waste on these nylon parts. The stuff is in fact incredibly strong. I have a prototype batch I was using that were ABS. Snapped one off in a matter of minutes.

 

The printer pics can be found in this thread.

Are 3d polymers already possess mechanical properties needed for this kind of application? With such long extension the leverage is significant. did you test how much of abuse this part will tolerate before failing?

[Stevos758]

I have pushed fairly hard on mine. I have one out for testing right now. Hopefully he will post his review. I told him to try and break it but don't break his joystick doing it... It's still in one piece!

6061 aluminum has tensile strength of 18000 PSI

 

Taulman 645 has 12,000 psi.....
