This weekend #parenting meant building a mini arcade stick for my daughter so she'd stop reaching for mine while i struggle with #KingOfFighters combos
It's cute and Fisher-Price colored, which her mom and I agreed on. I designed and 3D printed the top cover out of "clear" PETG, which took 5 revisions to fit everything in
The metal shell is no lie pulled from spare parts for a discontinued medical device from a job I worked a decade ago.
the buttons and stick and USB-C passthrough on the back came from https://arcadeshock.com/ whose warehouse is close enough for me to buy in person instead of shipping.
I threw some cheap rainbow RGB in there to glow beneath the translucent faceplate
I 3D printed the adapter forthe USB port on the back as wellThe bottom right text says "Starfist" (inside joke with my wife) but it isn't super legible. Hoping a future 3D print will come out a little clearer
The last picture is of my fightstick, so you can see what she was reaching for. We are an American household and by God I, my wife, and my daughter all prefer bat top levers instead of the common ball top ones.
