SCMC - Star Citizen Mining Controller - fit to VKB Gunfighter III Base by mer_at

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Pretty basic 1 Axis + 3 Button USB Joystick.
Ideal as a mining controller for Star Citizen.
Case modeled to fit to a VKB Gunfighter 3. All you need to secure it to the base, is a 6mm GT2 belt, some cableties and maybe some Belt Springs. If you got a 3D Printer, you most likely have that anyway.
I also added some "lizard skin" hockey grip tape to the bottom and the cutout, so the case grips better to the VKB base.
The labels on the Buttons are recessed, and i filled them up with some black UV-resin.
It's cured in a few minutes in sunlight, looks awesome and is very fast to work with.
Got it from a local store: https://www.pixiecrafting.com/
