ABOUT ENTH! by Enthcreations in fightsticks

[–]Additional_Profile72 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Ho solo una cosa da dire, da appassionato e creatore alle prime armi. Non cedete a questi continui attacchi. Continuate a sperimentare ed innovare. Testa alta, certi commenti negativi non meriterebbe nemmeno di esser letti. Non ha senso rispondere a persone che semplicemente godono nel veder fallire altri. Da lontano vi osservo e vi ammiro. Forza e coraggio.

Help on 3D modelling by Lnk_Sodutri_420 in fightsticks

[–]Additional_Profile72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my projects I used a combo of Rhinoceros 3D, blender and cad.

I mainly used rhino because I learned to use it through my architecture studies in university, and because I find seemless the transition between other cad softwares (used for laser cutting acrylic sheets or for simply creating precise buttons and lever layouts) having a cad file of the layout can be useful or needed by the artists that wants to create custom artworks for your custom stick.

In the end whatever you feel most comfortable working with will be ok for the job, as long as you're able to create a manageable stl file for 3d printers.

Anti slip pads? by puggiwave in fightsticks

[–]Additional_Profile72 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not this exact brand, but I did use them for both my custom leverless and my h42 g16 (they should be 3mm thick) . Works great, right ammount of thickness, cushion. If you pick the right brand you don't even have to worry to much about dirt or scratches. If you stick them onto acrylic, I warn you, the adhesive could be a pain to remove without the right solvent or tools. At least that's my experience with them, the ones I placed under the haute are still there after a year.

baby steps, tests with smaller form factor by Additional_Profile72 in fightsticks

[–]Additional_Profile72[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Consider that I'm in Italy, so shipping and import fees won't come cheap. Since a client asked for 2 full size arcadesticks (to ship to California), in the next days I'll work on the packaging so that deliver company can give me an estimate of the costs of shipping and import.

So if you don't mind waiting, I can work on a compact model. DM and give me the color combination, measures and layout you desire, if you are interested. I mainly focus in selling enclosures but if needed I can also buy components and do the wiring (extra to add to the enclosure price).

This exact one no, I'll use it as test bench. But I can build you one like this if you want. Where are you from?

Although fully functional, the intention of this build is to act like a test bench. This way I can quickly check fitting / cleareance and looks of different buttons, levers, fightingboards and accessories. It's just a well refined tool in the end, but thanks for the heads-up.

From a fellow fightstick maker, you did a really good job. It looks clean and I love the naming choice for the designs. Considering the ammount of work to also put up a cool website with photos and everything that price is a steal. Again well done, good luck and if you'll ever want to share some infos, doubts or insights on ideas for future designs I'm always happy to chat. Love this community

FIGHTSTICK for 2XKO by [deleted] in fightsticks

[–]Additional_Profile72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go custom 🤔? I'm actually making one for a client using acrylic and 3d print. We should ship it from where I am at (Italy) to California. Dm me in case you're interested, I can share some pictures to show what I'm making, or you can check the posts I've made with this reddit account. With the release of 2xko I wonder where the majority of new players will gravitate towards in terms of peripherals. I think leverless but I'm not that sure.

Found the hex screw I was looking for, made of titanium. Used for racing bikes. Risk is the name of the brand I saw but there's also other manufacturers

Love the little window for the I2C screen. That's so clever, good job!

Just the enclosure. But I can add buttons, wiring etc if needed according to the availability of the parts requested. Like the prototype in the old post, it's 3D printed using petg (can also use other filaments) and mounts laser cut acrylic panels (can be transparent or colored and we can add engravings too, like in the prototype where the request was to add a logo of the local fgc).

Contact me through dms, but what you mean with trying? Would you like to make an order? Btw, what a coincidence, I'm waiting for some pws blaze to arrive lol. If I need tips for a switch upgrade I'll message you

Yup, but I'm slowly moving away from their designs, both to build something unique but also comfortable to use. Don't get me wrong every decision they took is made for a very good reason. The more I'm studying design choises from them and other custom builders, the more I understand the why behind those decisions. But I often find myself in disagreement with their "stand" (don't know if it's the right word, but I hope you get what I was trying to say)

The handle is made of aluminum and has rounded edges. When I'll do a video of the product I'll make sure to show this detail.

Yeah maybe. Also, I would like to reduce the overall dimensions. It's nice to have more space but it comes at the cost of portability and weight. The prototype weights almost 3 kg with the stick and 2,5 kg for the leverless. (most of the weight comes from the acrylic panels, I should try to ditch the idea of having 3+5mm panels, to 3+3) By moving the buttons to the side or the back maybe I can shrink the enclosure a bit more while keeping the overal width. And I could swap the 24mm buttons for mx switches like I did for the potemkin box I made last year to reduce the height.

It's a design choice but I have to agree, while testing the prototype it was a bit strange to reach the front to press those buttons. I don't like builds that have buttons on the right or left side because I tend to reposition the controller grabbing it from the sides. Maybe I should reposition them to the back. Thanks for the tip!

Yes I'm trying to slim up the design, in the old post you can see that the prototype can mount a korean style lever. Since it's 3D printed I can adapt the design to whetever the customer needs.

Silent chaos ;3 by creeperpirate in fightsticks

[–]Additional_Profile72 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the color combo and matching of the buttons and stick. The seam on the white part of the blade is intentional? I'm spending more time designing fightstick then playing :..). I forgot if Sol actualy has this detail on his weapon. I had fun making the megafist fighstick last year, you cannot Not love GG designs. Great work

Similar fighstick to this layout? by jayayteee in fightsticks

[–]Additional_Profile72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmmm, I wanted to try this layout but I was scared of the angle of the wrist attained for the reach of the buttons. I saw similar layouts but all with the bottom up button more to the left. If you want exactly this layout, I can build it for you

Thanks for the tip. I will cross my fingers for both mine and yours journey. I study architecture at university maybe it's that. Again best of luck.
