#atari #retrogaming #3dprinting This is part 2 of the Atari 2800 Joystick build and it's finished so we are going to look at the steps to make your own and all the details for the parts.

I call it the Joystaddle !!!

When I mention cutting the shaft down I say 40mm when it's actually 50mm and needs to be reduced to 40mm.

All details and files can be found on printables including free STL https://www.printables.com/model/594012-atari-2800-joystick

You can buy part kits, or 3d files if you want to help the channel https://leesmithsworkshop.co.uk/products/atari-2800-kit-and-pcb

3 Joysticks are for sale https://leesmithsworkshop.co.uk/products/reproduction-atari-2800-paddle-joystick

STOP THE PRESS !!!!!!! I have found this could also work on other computers like the Atari XL and XE with no changes and I can make a Commodore version with a new POT. I don't have an original sid in my c64 to test :(
