DOT/Xenophobe to Tron Joystick conversion

- Ninjaflex is way too flexible and wears too easily.
- TPU is too flexible and wears too easily.
Even if you find a suitable exotic filament that works in your printer you'll need the right settings to get the best possible results.

Ninja's original stuff was like soft like a rubber band. But they have some stuff that's Shore 95A now, and that's somewhere around a shopping cart wheel as flex goes.
Doesn't need to last 40 years if you can just print them :) I ordered a couple from Sculpteo and Craftcloud and will report back!

I just completed the straight joystick as well, it's a 3D model. But there's a PDF with a drawing. You could make this from a tube on a drill press.
You know... just in case anyone wants to take a shot at straightening their Happ flight sticks. I'm going to use this to convert a vintage Xenophobe to Tron stick.
