MadMike's Low Profile RC Transmitter Stick Thumb Grip

thingiverse

Do you fly thumbs? Do you hate the pointy stock stick grips? Do you want to get a better grip? I bring you MadMike's Low Profile RC Transmitter Stick Thumb Grips, here to solve all your thumb grip needs. I fly thumbs. I started out with the stock sticks and flew with them for a long time, but got fed up with having to readjust my grip, slipping, and the sharp pointy sticks shredding my thumbs during long winter sessions. I eventually got some alu thumb grips, they were much better, but were concave, too long and I was always pushing on the thin edge during mad acro maneuvers. So I designed my own grips. They are designed to be as low profile as possible, grippy but not pointy. With a convex shape to get more of a playstation controller feel, instead of the usual concave shape, that way you can keep a good grip on your sticks even on max stick inputs. Print them slowly, cool, grip side up with some easily removable support. Print with over 30% infill and the highest resolution your printer can handle. If printed correctly you do not need to thread them, and you can screw them straight onto the sticks by hand. If you're having trouble with that, you can attach a long m3 screw to a drill and screw it straight trough the hole to thread it. Or just use an actual threading tool. But do it slowly, so you don't melt and deform the grips.
