Time to print a new controller

Unread post by Armourdillo »

Let’s see how we get on with this.
If there is any interest I will make the files available.

May take me a week or so to see the end result :)

Looks promising. What's it going to be? A spinner?
We raise hopes here...until they're old enough to fend for themselves.

The fist print of the spinner is done.
Printed solid so it has a little weight to it.

Yes, that is the plan. Should have the design finished next week.
It’s a standard 30mm hole for the button so anything should fit.

Will also put up a parts list, everything is available from Amazon.
