I broke my original analog stick playing SoulCalibur. Surprised that there are no 3D models for the Dreamcast analog stick yet, so I decided to make one myself.
Initially I tried printing a PS4 analog stick and changing it to fit the Dreamcast’s nub, but I didn’t like how it came out. The spherical bulb on the bottom was not large enough, so you’d be able to see inside the controller if you moved the stick far enough. The stem was too thick and in my opinion it would have limited the analog stick movement.
I haven’t actually printed out the model that I uploaded. The one I printed and am currently using has a deeper hole for the nub, which I found to be too deep. I corrected it by making the hole shallower by 1.5mm, and this is the model I uploaded on here.
This was made using Microsoft’s 3D Builder program. Source file is included if you need to make any changes to it.
