DOT/Xenophobe to Tron Joystick conversion
Encryptor:
Hello,
FYI - I don't make or sell the restrictors anymore but someone I know sent me the link below to someone that is selling them online. They're a bit more expensive then I was selling them for. Hopefully they're still selling them. Take care and good luck.

Hello.
I realize this is an old post. I figured I'd try here before starting over.
I have an old Tron restrictor that I'd like to swap out for the one that came with my Happ Joystick -but it looks exactly the same; more like a square bumper than the diamond type I'm seeing here in the restrictor mods.
Yes. It's driving me nuts. You get to the light cycles and everything goes out the window when it goes more 8-way than 4-way.
Will this authentic restrictor work?
Or do I need the mod?
Thanks

That’s for Discs of Tron.
Tron’s restrictor looks like this:
Notice it’s a diamond pattern rather than a square.
You can mod the stick to put a U360 on the bottom and then restrict the directions via software rather than buying this. The above restrictor will screw you up for other games that require 8 way (like Discs of Tron). The mod allows you to play all games and put a per game restriction on. There won’t be the physical restriction, but at least it will work for a variety of games. Here’s the mod link if you are interested:

@Encryptor What would you say to posting the design of this part to Thingiverse so that folks coming by 10+ years later can get the part made on a 3D printer? :)

It will be very difficult, probably impossible with current filament options, to make a 3d printed Tron upper restrictor that works properly and lasts.
- If someone does do a 3d model for this item, it would be a better idea to do a casting mold and include information about the proper material to use. (almost certain that it's urethane, but not sure what durometer.)
It would be fairly easy to make a 3d printable Tron lower restrictor. (Attached photo is from Encryptor's DOT- Xenphobe to Tron Conversion.pdf in the OP of this thread)
