3D Arcade Stick

3D Arcade Stick is a 12 button arcade stick designed to support a Sanwa JLW Series Joystick and Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons.

The top panel is 280mm x 180mm and the unit is just under 55mm in height when assembled.

I’ve designed it so the joystick is mounted internally, with no screws visible in the top panel. Because of this, some hot glue is required at the base of the joystick mounting points to strengthen them. Make sure to cover from the base up to around 3-5mm past where the cylinder section starts. Also apply a little hot glue to the inside of the mounting tabs in the top panel as well.

The back of the base unit has a 13mm hole to fit a PG7 cable gland.

I used a Teensy 2.0 for the USB Interface. If you plan on using it, I have included an image with instructions on how to program it and wire it up. You can download my compiled code from: http://www.mediafire.com/file/aew42vg7ub1jcbc/3dArcadeStick.hex/file
