This design pays homage to one of the earliest builders who helped bring Japanese arcade parts to the U.S. scene. Long before fight sticks were common, they were carrying buttons and joysticks across the ocean—laying the foundation for the FGC hardware culture we all enjoy today.

I wanted to honor that legacy with this open design. This fight stick shell captures the spirit of those early builds while remaining accessible to anyone with a 3D printer.

What’s Included:

STL files for the case and components

Optimized for FDM printing (PLA, PETG, or stronger blends recommended)

Standard 30 mm/24 mm button cutouts for Japanese arcade parts

Fits common lever mounts (Sanwa, Seimitsu, etc.)

Printing Notes:

Print flat pieces with 3–4 perimeters for strength

Recommend ≥20% infill for rigidity

Sand/finish edges for a clean look

Why Share This?
The FGC has always been about community, creativity, and passing things forward. These files are completely free, whether you want to build your own stick, remix the design, or just explore arcade hardware.

If you build one, please share a Make! I’d love to see how others interpret and improve on this design. 

Acknowledgment:
This project is dedicated to @The_SegaHolic, one of the pioneers who made it possible for Japanese arcade parts to thrive in the U.S.
