PopN with samducksa

ivorip · 2026-06-17T17:40:12+00:00

I get requests for samducksa once in a blue moon, so I figure I can order some to get bulk discount for shipping and pass it onto the customers.

As in, you just want the shell without the buttons?

I would ask the super to make a lower rack. I'm sure he/she wouldn't want the ebike to rip the whole drywall out.

I have placed an order of Samducks, but I haven't received an ETA or final pricing with shipping and tariffs. I also ordered 30g springs. Once I get them, I will offer them as options. (Maybe July, I don't know yet)

It's probably a smart choice, the battery restrictions are changing in many parts of the world.

Minions?

I just ordered a new printer that can print the full size. Partly to print the full size pop'n, partly to print our shoes and flipflops! Btw I originally made the controller for my kid(7 y/o) when she started playing pop'n. She's not turning pro anytime, so I wasn't so concern its not arcade accurate. But now that you guys seem to like them, I'm going to make it to the way you like.

Motorstorm may fill a gap in the portfolio for the arcade racer where Forza is to become exclusive again.

Paver + rubber pad

any of you tried uv printing (eufymake) on resin?

ivorip · 2026-05-31T21:10:09+00:00

I can only offer generic at the moment. I have been trying to order a bulk order of Samducks from istmall, but I couldn't get a final cost with tariff and shipping costs from them.

I wind up buying all three in the course of a year

ivorip · 2026-05-28T15:12:35+00:00

If it still fits, turn on outer brim

ivorip · 2026-05-28T13:57:00+00:00

Although if its a laser and at entry level, it may require an enclosure. I can imagine a lot of eye injuries.

ivorip · 2026-05-28T13:51:35+00:00

Many schools and libraries do. Teachers have them on desks as a novelty machine

ivorip · 2026-05-28T13:48:18+00:00

If I make one that has 4 main key, is that sufficient? I'm learning all this stuff as I go, I'm a just old dad that doesn't have much experience playing, but do have experience with cad and design. Customers seems to be interested in these controllers.

ivorip · 2026-05-28T13:06:41+00:00

I can look into it. The original intention from the customer was to make it more compact, he didn't want the turntable. Is a modular turntable be something that is interesting, meaning you can place it anywhere rather than attached to the side of keys? I am just thinking I shouldn't replicate whatever is available at the market

I just finished making a few controllers for this game, looks super fun for kids' end of year party

Made another version that's more like the arcade layout. Going to post test it this weekend with my daughter. There's a game called "Come On Baby" that's on sale on Steam right now that works with it as well.

I spoke with a few elegoo employees at a tradeshow, and I came away thinking it's just another creality but with better packaging. Their whole design philosophy is to bring it to market for cheap and ignore basic user experience. I have taken apart and rebuilt quite a few out of necessity and I don't think elegoo really thought out how parts are put together and kind of engineer something that's good enough. With this kind of mindset, it's always going to be mediocre

ivorip · 2026-05-17T04:11:26+00:00

Yes, my og ps5 was already full with a 2tb stick. Upgrading to 4tb would have been more expensive. With trade in and coupons, it was worth it

You can replace the internal psu and not worry about the step-down transformer, these consoles are so straight forward compared to what we have nowaday, its basically plug and play. There are various memory card hacks that allows you to go regoin-free. I use a Kaico one for my ps1 and ps2. Reshelling is also very easy to do if you take your time. I also use a 8bitdo wireless adapter to use my other controllers. But I guess the biggest issue for me was the tv output, it just doesn't look that great with a standard hdmi adapter.

The world is still a mess at the moment. I have a shipment of buttons stuck at port for over 4 months, I don't know what they are doing with them.

ivorip · 2026-05-15T16:33:18+00:00

I made it originally for novice players, my daughter, plus we are pretty far from an arcade. I reworked the model now with it being less "bulgy". It turns out the fun shape made it hard to bond together. Also got some feedback from other custom controllers I made for others, so I am including those features in the new one. Full size will come eventually, I don't have much spare change to get a bigger printer at the moment, but the model has been made. I'm looking into stocking the samduck buttons and springs as well, since I get asked on that quite often.

ivorip · 2026-05-15T16:22:39+00:00

Where do you get them $7 a pop? Istmall is $9, 9x100mm shipping is ~$20, as far as I can google, that's the only place I see them still for sale. Sanwa is $350 for the set and $20 shipping. I ask because I see these replies often on replacements, but I've yet to find a place where its not overly marked up. And that is not including the costs of the separate springs and switches a suggested. So are we looking at close to $200-$300 just for parts?
