The second cammy.

That image was low res.  It's gonna be pixelated.  I didn't find a better one yet.

So @Tacos will a wood spade bit drill through a piece of acrylic?  Or will it crack it?  The acrylic is pretty thin.

My guess is it would crack. Might check it out on a piece of scrap.

I don't have any scraps . I got the piece cut to order.  He said to use a metal bit, but my bit is wood. My dad has a larger jigsaw like bit.  We might use that since it can be larger.

Then i would use a hole saw.

Yep, you'll need a 30mm.

Drill a pilot hole and then use the hole saw to cut out the button.

I think we have.  Luckily the acrylic can go around the buttons.  They don't have to sit on top.

So I found a domain that I'm thinking about buying. I want a website I can market amazon products. It's kind of nice because I don't have to do anything. Just set up the store and link everything back to amazon. I just don't know if amazon has everything one could need to build a fightstick.

lol, Well let me think of another. I didn't realized but it had naughtiness in the URL. Not that I think it would be a big deal but it could be.

It was Stickbuldersex.com

Would you use builder or maker in the title?

Amazon prices for sticks and buttons aren't that bad. It's just they don't always offer prime and you have to buy buttons in a six pack.

stickbuilderex.  No naughtiness that way.  Would you put up some customs as well or redirect Amazon?

Yeah, Custom made sticks. and When I get my CNC the boxes I build. There just isn't enough box options out there. But for now it will just redirect to Amazon and I'll make commissions off of that with out having to do anything but promote the site.

That's cool.  Look around for local sellers for buttons and stuff.  Then maybe resell them if you have to.

Well after a week of backing off from my project I got back on it today. What I figured out is that there is a disconnect between the ground my i'm using and everything else. So I'm skipping that ground and using another one. I wish I knew that before it would have been a simple fix, but I almost trashed the board because it wasn't working and I didn't understand the results I was getting from the meter. I ran across my problem due to pure luck. Anyway I got the stick working now it's back to the buttons.

Nice.  I'm just waiting for my dad to come back from vacation.  I asked my painter friend what paint I should use.  He said to use an eggshell based paint.  Though it's expensive.  Homedepot was selling it for 50 bucks a can.  Though it was only one colour so it might have been fancy.  I may be able to get one mixed for cheaper.
