Starting my build

[jeruw]

Nice progress shots. Thanks for posting, it's nice to see other's builds.

It looks like you oriented your handle so the point in the 'tear drop' is pointing straight back? I wasn't sure what the intended position was, but what felt good to me was to mount it sideways, so the pointy end points to around 2 o'clock (upper right). This gives it more of a T profile like the new handle.



I mounted two buttons on the handle base rather than the handle itself. At least with the current size of the handle that put them in a nice position to reach with my thumb.

Looking good! Too bad about the arms, they were definitely a tricky print for me too. I was thinking about using that hat switch for the final design so let me know what you think of it.

Oh also post those pics to the star citizen subreddit to cash in on that sweet sweet karma.

Just got an email that my new handle is printed and ready to be picked up! I'll order the board later today and soon I will be flying with version 2.0!

My control boards came in fromOSH Park.
Such an awesome service! The cost was around $8 for three boards shipped and only took a couple weeks from ordering to when they arrived at my door.

I still need to pick up the new buttons and find a good cap for the hat and I'll be ready to build!

Those look very nice. It really is awesome that we can get custom pcbs for such a low price.

Hmm.. they look about the right size to be the coolest guitar picks in the world!

Looking forward to seeing your progress!
