Title: Any templates to print for Happs 3" USB trackball?
Post by: daveg2000 on April 13, 2005, 07:19:22 am

Are there any template files floating around here in
Arcade Land that match what I will need to drill out
for my happs usb 3" trackball by chance?

Someone was able to post a 6-button street fighter joystick
template that will help out alot... I just need to figure out
the drilling/cutting for the trackball.

I have a plate for it as well.. what do you guys reccomend?
Plate or no plate?

I would think It would look better without the plate.....
but what kind of skills are needed to go 'plateless'?

;)

Thanks guys.... my showcase cab is being delivered today
and I cant wait to start hammering out the control panel!

When you print those from msword, they come out perfect.

Thanks.  looks like this is a template for the plate... that one is pretty
easy to figure out... I was wondering about the goofy-shaped
hole I will need to cut for the 'ball housing'  (or whatever you want to call it)

Thanks for the resource.
Not looking really to drop any more money, just for a template,
but if it would come down to it, I wouldnt have any problems
supporting the author.... I heard that book is pretty good.
