| meltman:
Space the motor away from the joystick plate, flip it over so it engages the opposite side of the restrictor, and reverse the polarity to spin the servo arm the other way? |
| Malenko:
cut the legs off and solder to the remaining metal? |

I've read that these sticks are stiff as is and may take a little elbow grease (literally) to get working smoothly. --- Quote from: Malenko on May 15, 2019, 10:20:38 am ---cut the legs off and solder to the remaining metal? --- End quote --- I thought of this but I think I still need 1/8" - 1/4" more room to make it fit. The microswitch is set inside if the white base and pokes through the bottom. Maybe I can glue it in place about 1/4" up from where it wants to sit (using a spacer) and also remove 1/4" from the little white tab that gets pressed by the button to activate the switch? I'd also have to cut the legs off and solder but this might get me there. I'm not sure what this would do to the functionality of the button and I'd have to be super accurate with the spacing/cuts but maybe? Hmmm... Here's what I mean: |

So I'd use my button without the switch and try to position a smaller switch inside of the white piece. --- End quote --- Good idea. Putting a smaller button inside your 24mm Seimitsu PS-14-GN-C admin button is a lot easier than 3d printing a switch holder. This button would be an excellent choice. - I've test fitted it to the Seimitsu button you're using and it will work. ;D - You'll need to drill or cut away at least part of the rectangle on the underside of the button cap. - Use a small fender washer to mount the small button and some spacers underneath to hold it at the proper height inside the Seimitsu button body. - No extra spring needed. --- Quote from: javeryh on May 15, 2019, 10:02:26 am ---Think one of these can be used? --- End quote --- Sorry, but that button is too tall.

Scott --- End quote --- Awesome - thanks. I think I actually have a few of those buttons laying around at home but even if I don't, $6 to fix this will be well worth it. :cheers: |
