Description
Rapid Fire for Retro Joysticks.
I asked the question, is it possible to design and 3D print your own Retro joystick that would be strong enough to be usable. The simple answer is, YES!
With slightly different wiring it would also work on many other systems.
I guide you through all the steps from designing to building, and then at the end some testing!
I've provided links to everything you need to build one yourself.
