Commodore 64 Joystick

thingiverse

Not a fan of most C64 joysticks so decided to make my own using an old donor joystick. Printed using PLA at 10% infill on all prints. Top STL: I didn't add the shaft holes as those can differ depending on the type of joystick you get. The buttons have 28mm shafts which can easily be found on eBay or places like https://www.arcadeworlduk.com/ Wall STL: The side supports can be glued if you wish but I find just using the two recessed screw holes are plenty to keep the wall and top tight. Use M4 or M3 screws and bolts. There's also a small 7mm hole in the back, for the cable to go through. Bottom STL: There are 4 slightly recessed holes to let you glue on rubbery feet if you like. Use a strong glue to glue the bottom and wall together. I also wired up the jump button to the Up stick because many games want up as jump and I hate that :) Due to trying to keep the size down, it's a tight fit, so make sure you get short buttons and a small joystick to fit. PS. The sharp-eyed among you will notice the photo of my print and the Top STL don't match. This is because I made a small final change to the STL file and wasn't going to waste more filament to print a final tweak. The change will allow more room for the joystick plate and with the buttons closer together be more comfortable to play. Good luck!
