Low Profile Arcade Button Housing Seimitsu PS-15

thingiverse

I designed this for my arcade machine to expand the number of buttons from 1 to 6. This is my design to allow the old button to be a cable conduit, and fit this over for 5 more buttons without drilling. I had to modify the button radius to 15.5. If the stl doesn't work for you, just download openscad and change the parameters. The parameters are editable, however, there are present hacks, magic numbers, and Keebler Elves. I uploaded 3 versions, the length is dependant on the pitch, lower the pitch, less claw action causing carpal tunnel, however you might need a smaller one (like I realized I did). For this I increased the pitch of one, and cut off the palmrest on the other. You see how this could get you with a reasonably customized product if you wanted to modify the parameters. All of the magic is in the cutoff points so you could comment out that portion and then play with cutting off what you want gone. This was basically my idea to make the machine downgradable, so it can be returned to stock if someone wanted to buy it but didn't want the crazy Raspberry Pi arcade system I installed. To maybe get you more familiar with this silliness, heres my arcade videos. On youtube: watch?v=ZCf38E1ALG0&list=PLpUQGHNn5fr_xnZhDbku8LxkOC0XMiOvW
