This is a mini Joystick I designed for a small Retro Pie arcade console I am building.
The return to center springs are printed with PETG works much better the ABS.
Works with 6x6x5mm Momentary Tactile Tact Push Button switches.

8/26/2017 Top prevent over moving of Joystick and make alignment easier.
-updated top to have range limiters and alignment holes
8/29/2017 Improve diagonal operation after adding range limiters and assembly easier
-raised push buttons .2mm
-reduced range limiters .2mm
-tapered posts on bottom
8/31/2017 Switch hole in bottom are all same direction making 2 of them a slightly different distance from center.
-Rotated two of the switch holes in Bottom so they are all same distance from center as the other two.
9/6/2017 issues: operation not as smooth as I would like, pegs in top didn't work
-removed pegs from top I will just use screws to hold in place
-modified bottom and actuator with ball shape for soother operation.
If like what you see, and want to help encourage me to continue sharing free 3D printing designs be sure to Tip Me.
