Twist axis for Thrustmaster Cougar/Warthog and Virpil sticks.
This model has been designed on request. I did not print it myself nor tested it.
You'll need:
- a rotary potentiometer “RK097N”. Resistance doesn't matter, because of the calibration later.
- 2x 6mm x 20mm (or longer) compression spring.
- 20x 4mm (diameter) bearing balls. (I got mine out of a bike).
- Place the upper part on the lower part so that the channel is aligned with the hole in the bearing race. (→ see first picture, ball bearing in red)
- Insert the bearing balls into the channel.
- Center the upper and lower parts
- Add the gear
- Insert the potentiometer and glue or bolt it, if needed.
Disclaimer:
Plastic isn't as resilient as the metal of the grip.
Consider resin. If it's not an option, don't be cheap on the plastic. Use PLA or stronger, go 100% infill and print with an angle (potential crack to filament layer). Adapt the joystick response curves so you don't yank your stick like a mad man. Then it'll be fine.
