DxRacer HOTAS mount

Description from original model by BayneSolo on thingiverse:

A simple Joystick mount for my HOTAS on my DxRacer Chair.

Provides a fairly sturdy platform with a little bit of play on the x axis but unoticable in use.

Post-Printing

Wood

 

The wood I used is 30x30mm and the project uses roughly 0.5m

 

Screws

 

There are 28 screw holes in total but honestly not all need to be used, the screw holes are ~3mm with the washer holes being 10mm.

 

Assembly

 

To assemble, file the insides of the 3d prints to remove some of the ridging making it easier to slide the wood in.

With a file, slightly file down the square edges of the wood due to 3d printers innability to create perfectly square corners,

When assembled, drill holes and screw together, attach to the chair and mount the HOTAS on top (I just use BluTack which is strong enough)

 

Cable Management

 

I use a USB hub on the bottom of the chair meaning I can quick disconnect the chair from the computer.
