Make A 3D Printed - Retro Style Joystick for my Amiga

In this video I 3D print and build a retro-style joystick for my Amiga. With slightly different wiring it would also work on many other systems.

I guide you through all the steps from designing to building, and then at the end some testing!
I've provided links to everything you need to build one yourself.

*** If you build this, you build it as your own risk ***
