Joystick base for the valve knuckle by PhotonP

Last crawled date: 3 years, 3 months ago

This is a mod to be able to use the right valve index knuckle as a joystick confortably. I made it to play the game VTOLVR. The RIGHT knuckle controler fits in it.
Tension is built around the joystick gimball by adding 4 hair-tie or rubberband, or paracord.
The knucle will click-in and have a small resistance to detach. It can also detach smoothly by twisting the controler with a pitching motion. The resistance is made by part 'grip-b'.
part grip-a can be tricky to print, you will need supports and then to clean them nicely.
The design is made so that the 'armchair' part is screwed on the armchair. The base part can be assembled and desambled easily from the armchair without tools : it works as a side-release buckle. THis way only the armchair part is a definitive addition to your chair, the rest is plug-in and plug-out at your convenience.
I made 3 different armchair parts, I can't guaranty any will fit your chair, but hopefully one will.
PLA printed with a 0.2 layer heigth.
If the thing squeaks, lubricate the gimbal sphere. Be sure to use a lubricant that will not react with the PLA, Silicon grease is fine.
