As I have some new Sega Analog flight/fight sticks laying around used on planet harriers/virtual on/monkey ball and many more games. I was thinking how can I make these dedicated sticks to fit/work in a normal candy panel.

As you can see the adapter plate on the dedicated is big and won’t fit a candy panel, since monkey ball stick adapter (smaller bracket) are not around and I thought what the hell let me design one and here it is . I still have to figure out a way to lift up the panel so there is space to fit the big stick in the cab. some cabinets have no deep space. So for these I have to design a adapter also to lift up the panel.
In picture 5 you can see that there is room to fit 6 small nuts for the screws that hold the top plate of the stick, and by the design the screw won't turn 8)

So still a little work to do but we are getting there
Will upload the design in a little bit , when all is finished. I will also include some templates to cut out the hole center in the panel,1 for planet harriers and a 2 version voor virtual on etc etc

with this stick now in your candy you can play a lot of analog games!

:D

Easy print file with minimal supports,20% infill @0.15 layer height around 4 hour print time. Its verry strong even with just 20% so you won't break this baby easy

What cabs don't have space for the stick?

You're right, the mounting plate on the Monkey Ball panel is smaller than the one on the sitdown cabs. I can take pics of both, if someone is interested.

Anyway, nice job!
 
Well the newer sticks have a little larger spring mech. So in my blast when you turn the stick it scrapes the bottom . Must be more cabs have this problem ,egret,windy,Astro maybe?

As I wanted to make this work and I couldn’t find the right monkey ball plate I just made one :)
 
The spring shouldn't matter. What matters is the shaft length, and I don't think those come in different sizes. I've never tried it, but just by eyeballing it, I'm going to say the OG Monkey Ball panel will work in a Blast. I can verify this if someone wants to know for certain.

However, I guess since your plate is printed in plastic, I guess it adds some extra depth to the joystick?
 
Oké I need to check it , I’ll let you know :)
