My thumb stick on my 3ds is disintegrating, and my switch is starting to follow. Please help.
(lemmy.today)
So I'm very large and strong, I think I may be the cause of this. But does anyone know of a strong replacement? I'm capable of installing it myself, but my cursory Google search turned up nil for "strong game sticks"(let the jokes flow)
Just curious if I'm stuck playing d-pad game.
I think I would start by scouring the web for suitable replacement stick 3D-printer files. Once I had those, I would investigate what 3D-printing filament material is especially strong, and look for a place to print the files with that material.
If there's a hackerspace / makerspace in your area, someone there might be able to help.
Problem is going to be layer adhesion. No matter if I orient it horizontally, or vertically. If injection molding can't stand up to the pressures I'm using, I doubt additive manufacturing will.
Not trying to sound combative btw! I appreciate all input and challenges to my thinking.
