ATARI CX-40 PAC-MAN EDITION JOYSTICK

Update 04/08/25: After an excellent idea was put forward by Rainer (ArKay74), I set to work splitting some parts so that you could print the two tone colour scheme without owning a multi-colour printer. There are six new STLs with the prefix [SCP_Rainer}, the top & ring, the pacman handle & top and the ghost handle & top.
The only problem I encountered is the white part of the ghosts eyes is a little small to print separately. So I have left them stuck out for you to dab with a tiny bit of white paint or correction fluid.

Atari have recently anounced The 2600+ Pac-Man Edition Console:

And was brought to my attention by this great video:

And with that they have gone and updated the look of the CX-40 Joystick to match!

Well, I think it's about time I did an updated version, inspired by their new design.
(Requires 5x standard arcade micro-switches)

I recommend you print the TOP and the 4xBLT at .16 (at least .20) layer height to preserve the thread. I went with a standard M6 (16mm shank) bolt size so it's possible that an off-the-shelf bolt will work but I don't have any to test and the printed version works fine.

Print the BTC and the BTN upside down and utilise a brim with the parts that are likely to fall over, like the 4xBLT, the JYJ and the HDL_P or G
