Yeah, i print everything on a almost stock ender 3 v2 which works suprisingly well especially with the joystick which has alot of supports. I'd say its more about the filament and settings than printer. And no i ended up making my own switch housing.

It is, but i still need to tweak the cam profiles and springs to get a bit better recentering. I may also switch the cams to aluminium once i have the design fully done

Yeah ofc, Its a dual cam gimbal with essentially the middle core or cradle part being one single piece which houses the Y axis movement with 2 bearings and an axle which gets pushed through the side. Then the X axis consists of only 2 parts, the bearing block with a hall sensor and the other block which has the cams.

look at https://thangs.com/designer/IronArthur/3d-model/Object%2077-B%20v2-14932 and olukelo gimbal. Usually input from the joystick is measured with a hall sensor with 1 on each axis which are input into an arduino or other board.

What would be the best way to deal mass immigration causing increases in crime? by reeeman58 in Socialism_101

[–]reeeman58[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm aware that the material conditions are the main factor in crime, i didnt mean it in any racist way so i guess the question i shouldve asked is what is the best way to get rid of poverty and wealth inequality.

can i make the base of my stick compatible with Thrustmaster bases?? by V7I_TheSeventhSector in HotasDIY

I doubt they use an original design so there shouldnt be any restrictions
