3D Printed Atari Yoke Triggers?

<< < (4/5) > >>

RoyalScam:
This past weekend I assembled a Printrbot Simple metal 3D printer.  I'm not really up to speed on it, but my prints are getting better.  I'll admit to suffering a bit of function guilt, as I've bought the thing without a clear intent on what I was going to use it for.  I just like to build cool things,  get them working and more often than not, lose interest.  For me the thrill is always in the build.  So, if one of you would like to design a part and send me an STL file, I'd be willing to make a few parts just to see how it goes.  Let me know if I can help.

Regards,
Scam

RubberB:
That's a fantastic offer. I'll see if I can work out how to make an STL file based on a photo of the triggers. Presumably that's something I can do with Google Sketchup. Which I've never used. It may take me a while...

Generic Eric:
+1 for the offer.

:Gotta: figure out sketchup!

RubberB:
I still haven't done anything about the finger triggers. But I have made some temporary thumb triggers out of a spring from a pen (cut in half), a machine screw, nut (glued on), some insulating tape (heatshrink tubing was a great idea but I didn't have the right size) and a black screw cap (£1 for 10 at B&Q for UK readers).
Seems to work quite well. Mechanically at least. I've not wired it up yet.

ChadTower:

Nice!  If it works very few people will ever notice the difference.
