| N64 Analog Stick - Fix 3D printed replacement Bowl |
| << < (2/2) |
| DKBananas:
yea the 3D printing technology isn't there yet. What is available is pretty fantastic and I expect the next generation processes to be even better. |

Well, I'm going to get one of these and test is out to see how well it works on one that's pretty worn and do a review of it on my YouTube channel. Granted, it's will be a while before I can make it and I only have a handful of subs. Someone was making a cool replacement using a pot style joystick to replace the factory one. They were expensive but they worked perfect. I wish he would start making them again. |

With a little bit of skilled drilling, you can replace the bowl of once useless loose N64 sticks. It truly works great, The fix brings the stick back to 85% or better. http://shpws.me/LEEx --- End quote --- Cool stuff. I had actually contacted a company to cast the joystick parts in metal instead of plastic. Never got around to making it though, casting and the volume needed would have been crazy high to make it affordable. |

If it helps I used the Neiko 10193a 3 piece step bit set available on amazon. |
