SimpleJoy - CX Edition

The SimpleJoy series is an excuse for me to make more retro joysticks, but with an emphasis on the basics, with a minimal amount of parts required, no supports needed, print in place, easy click together construction and not too high on the filament usage. ... For my second one, here is my take on the early Atari series. No fancy flightstick-like grip here, just classic 2600 chunky without the dodgy dome switches, replaced instead with a reassuring click. Whether you wire the joystick up straight to a D plug or use a pi zero encoder, I would suggest wire-tying the incoming cable to the loop on the inside of the base, and maybe as an extra step, a bit of hot glue to anchor things down.

The Grip is to be printed upside down, if your bed isn't very grippy, I recommend a brim. The Empire Strikes Back on the VCS was wonderful, like being IN the movie :) MY PATREON & PATREON SHOP.https://www.patreon.com/3DFreeman Thanks for your continued support!
