Title: Wanted: Black or Red Dust Washer for T-Stik
Post by: maraxle on April 04, 2004, 08:03:17 pm
Hi.  I recently got a T-Stik Plus with the red ball-top.  Unfortunately, the dust washer that comes with the ball-tops (you know, the little ring around the base of the joystick) is smaller than the ones that come with the regular joystick, so if I push really hard in a particular direction, I can see the edge of the drilled hole.  The best way I can think of to remedy this would be to stick another dust washer that's bigger under the current one.  I would like two red or two black ones if anyone has some extras lying around.  Thanks in advance!

Make your own with left over Plexi. Use a hole saw for your drill in any size you want. Run it in reverse to cut the plexi and then sand the edges. Paint them any color you want. I would use the new Fusion spray paint for plastic as it will not chip off. Or be as creative as you want.

How do you plan to get the dust washer past the metal ring on the stick?

Not a bad idea!

Since I'll just put it under the other dust washer (making a layered effect), I can make the hole slightly bigger.
