Check Out My New Arcade Stick! (No Image Quoting)

nice stick!

Cheers guys :slight_smile:

@ericleroi: Its not painted at all! I used 3mm gloss black acrylic plastic, it comes like that!

Nice Billygoat. How did you bend the acrylic to the peprfect size ? Or did you buy it like that as well?

such a fantastic clean finish, thumbs up from me.

if you even decide to sell cases like that i’ll be first in line.

quick question, where do you get those little screw-on rubber feet from? i’ve looked all around diy shops here and i can’t find them.

Here is my Updated Collection. Sanwa parts.

I love these buttons so much.

I get it done at a plastic fabricators, I have no idea how they do it but it certainly does the job and saves on paint and time!

Cheers :slight_smile:

I’ll keep you informed if I do make more. The feet are from random DIY places and Wilkinsons or Robert Dyas (not sure if you’re from the UK, these are the places that sell them here). Failing that you might have to find somewhere that sells them online.

Love that acrylic stick, Billy. Good job.

They bend the acrylic using a machine with an heated strip and adjustable lays. We used to have one at my firm, but it got old and knackered.

You could probably do the same by heating a metal strip or ruler with a blowtorch and folding the acrylic over it.

^ Cheers for that, always nice to know how things are done :slight_smile:

@Billygoat. That artwork reminds me of the Cave shmup DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou or Ikaruga. Care to enlighten?

Edit: just read the text in between your images!

… Time for a new thread because this awesomeness just slayed everything else. :rock:

awesome, SRK has buttrox smiley

I’ll tell you what I think alright. That stick looks terrible, wrap it up very carefully and ship it to me so that I can dispose of it in a prompt and proper fashion. You don’t have to thank me, it’s my pleasure to own such a unique looking stick…I mean dispose of something that heinous looking. :wgrin:

I see a lot of those screw terminals on custom sticks. Does anyone know if there is something like that but with quick disconnect prongs instead of screws )or at least on one side? Something like the one that comes stock in the madcatz sticks.

Upgraded the T5 with Arts Plexi and Arrow Dust Washer. His parts and Service are Ridiculously Good. I feel the clear Dust washer looks better on top of a black one. Shows the arrows a lot better.

can’t you just get a black dust washer with the arrows on it?

I believe so, but I don’t think the Arrows are white on it, I think they are kinda Grey, but I may be wrong. I ordered mine this way on purpose. I LOVE it

What are those white connector terminals you got called? I’d like to use those in my custom incase I decide to switch joysticks and buttons so I don’t have to keep messing with the Cthulu PCB.

I’m pretty sure they are just regular European terminals. You can get them at radio shack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103230

Cool, I’ll be doing that then.

All I these look so great! I wish I had half the skills you guys did!

those are some really nice cases.
