Go to Post FIRST is a community unlike the public at large, with the distinction lying on its gracious professionalism. I have no doubt that the community will continue to uphold and cherish this unique characteristic through difficult events such as this. - Joon Park [more]

Exactly.

Through work I have access to an SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) machine. I can get 1 or 2 of something done for free by putting it in the extra space around the money jobs. If I have to build a lot of something, but not enough to make injection molding profitable, then I can rent time at a commercial service. For large numbers of small parts SLS can be affordable on a per part basis, if the parts are packed tightly.

While the calipers and 3d Studio approach might produce a usable product, it would take a lot of work to get it right. A laser scan like phrontist mentioned takes minutes and all of the holes at strange angles will be properly positioned. Why do it the hard way if you don't have too?

Re: Left Handed Joystick

Quickshot makes some pretty nice lefty gameport joysticks. I live in canada, so its a huge pain getting them up here, but you shouldnet have any trouble. You are looking for the GenX series (I think thats where I remember seeing them). linky
