Description
Found this decent thumbstick model by Cecche on Thingiverse to replace the old ones on my Dualshock 1 controller, but upon printing it I found some of the measurements were so off I couldn't even get them on. I've since changed the shaft hole size and length to perfectly accept these onto the sensors without any dragging and without trimming or sanding. They're just as easy as swapping out!
Obviously they're not as grippy as the old ones after I printed mine in PETG, but they're still usable and a definite upgrade over melting rubber. In the future I may also add a divot in each center pad along with textured bumps for better grips. Haven't properly tested these with Dualshock 2s but multiple users have now confirmed it's not compatible with Dualshock 3s, so keep in mind you may need to do a little trimming or sanding if you intend to use them for those versions. Dualshock 1s are tested and fully compatible however. Stay tuned for future improvements!
