Original first post is below.
My younger brother loved my last two builds so I am making him a fight stick for Christmas. Because I live in East Africa and he is in New York, he will only be getting a link to this build on Christmas day. The stick will hitch a ride to him on a later date.
Where I'm at
- I had my Brother in-law bring a Sanwa JLF and some Sanwa OBSF-30 buttons when he came to visit in November. The inside is a zero delay encoder, but I have plans to upgrade to a KADE at some point.
- The plexi was all laser cut by me.
- I had a hard would box made to perfectly fit the A4 size peace of plexi that's the CP.
As of this post the joy stick, box, and encoder are all separate pieces. I wanted to get some feed back before I glue it all together. Laser cutting a new CP is definitely an option as it cost me next to nothing to do and takes about 2-3 min.
The blue plexi is a templet that I won't be hart broken if it gets scratched while fitting. The final version is clear and will have white plane paper under it or some graphics. Right now I think I like the plane look and he can always add some art later.
Pleas let me know what you think.
