Overengineered Joystick Fidget (Print in Place)

This Overengineered Joystick Fidget is a fully functional joystick that tilts in every direction and buzzes back into the center the moment you let go. Pushing the knob in any direction pivots the stem on a gimbal-style joint and winds up a torsion spring, and when you release it, the spring snaps the stick back upright with a satisfying buzz as it settles. Every part of the mechanism was carefully prototyped to get a smooth pivot with a firm, consistent return from any angle. It prints in 2 parts that join with a super easy 6 tabbed twist lock that snaps into place, so the dome and joystick print as one print-in-place piece and the base locks onto it in seconds. A ribbed top on the mushroom knob gives your thumb a solid grip, and the rounded dome sits on an hourglass-shaped base that fits comfortably in your palm, especially with a color change between the two. The Overengineered Joystick Fidget is the perfect print for anyone who loves complex mechanisms. Boost MeIf you like this model, please consider boosting it!
