WelshZeCorgi Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) There were people selling stick extensions but when I went to their website, they were all sold out and had no plans to make more, (I think it was 1 guy personally machining these things). I sort of want finer control over the stick, whereas the real one is several feet long and the desktop joystick is only the handle and the baseplate, making fine movements really hard to make in comparison. Anyone know where to get one of these stick extension, or how to make one? Feel like I should add that while I work in a lab that has heavy cutting, grinding, drilling and soldering equipment, I don't have much experience with by-hand manufacturing. Edit: right, sorry, It's Chicago Illinois USA Edited January 11, 2017 by WelshZeCorgi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtop Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 It'd be worth stating your country, so people can recommend a seller local to you. With the right numbers, turning a steel pipe and cutting a thread into it doesn't require a great deal of skill, but most of the sellers deliver a perfect product for a small premium. No trial and error involved. 476th vFG Alumni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruman Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 +1 (MFG) If you are EU based, its probably the quickest way to get one or more (since they are stackable).

And yet there is life there because the website updated the promo price 'til March 2017 so somebody must be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pochi Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Well, I hope someone can help us reach MFG because that is a pity when you see the website was updated on 01.11. Anyone in contact with MFG can point MFG to this thread please? Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladman Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I ordered 4 from Sahaj. 3 went to the US and one came to me in Canada. I think it took less than 2 weeks. Easy guy to deal with and I had no issue at all with communication. That being said I do own Crosswinds and you'd have to pry them from my cold dead body to get them from me.

I have sometimes problems with customs if they don't get response from recipient otherwise it's ok) I got one of those, love it :thumbup: The design is really good. I also bought one of the simpler design (i.e. metal tube with thread) from another seller but I ended up keeping the one with the nut as is was much easier to use.

Thadiun Okona Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Here's my Gardena/scrap aluminum 15cm extension w/50mm aft offset and 7deg fwd pitch... very close to mass-balanced now, and the reaches more ergonomic than with no offset or fwd pitch. album: http://imgur.com/a/1HkLN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiedDroit Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Nice ! I solved the mass balance issue by tilting the base a bit, works for any extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
