Ultimarc 360 Joysticks - my review
Donkey_Kong:
Tranq- Your custom restrictor plate looks VERY nice!
Are you saying that you would be willing to sell these and ship them? If so where are you located? I'm in Central, Minnesota USA.
Andy ultimarc mentioned something about offering some different sized plates for these sticks as well...hmmm. Now you guys got me thinking damnit! I suppose play COULD be better for some games with less throw on these sticks.
tranq:
D_K: actually, I'm suggesting that it might be best to make your own, using a jig (or, even better, a band) saw, and a drill press. (Though a hand drill might work, if you can fasten the piece down. Also, as I noticed in another thread about working with Lexan and plexi-glass, light pressure is advised. I used acrylic, but I'm sure Lexan, perhaps even plexi-glass, would work.) I don't have these tools and wanted to get some ideas on what it might take to make this plate, so went to someone else. However, I'm looking into a set of tools and may then make my own.
Donkey_Kong:
Appreciate that Tranq!! I think this project is worth the effort. I'm interested in trying this on my own. I'm thinking acrylic myself as I worked with this back in High School shop class with some success.
Now what are good drill bits for acrylic? Also, this could be my excuse to maybe get a drill press. I'm assuming that the forstner bits would be a no no for acrylic. Probably just a regular sharp drill bit? Just checking cause I just got a sweet set of forstners the other day at Home Depot. A set of like 12 bits ranging in size from 3/8"- 2" by Porter Cable including the elusive 1-1/8"!! Probably medicore quality in terms of forstners but should hold up for an arcade cab enthusiast in drilling wooden Control Panels Etc.

Have you tried the Plug-in for this fine stick?
