# The Buildable Stick System
Files for 3D printing an arcade stick.
## Objects
The following notes document the objects in the Buildable Stick System and how you can use them:
* `bottom-panel-inset`: a simple solid panel that fits into the bottom of a frame box.
* `bottom-panel-overhang-*`: solid panels whose base fits into the bottom of a frame box, but have a longer sheet that
extends beyond the frame, creating a sandwich kind of look; the various forms hang over more or less of the frame,
expecting it will be connected to other frames.
* `frame-{left,middle,right,solo}`: the core frame of the stick, these are complete boxes; since they are long and
narrow, and need supports to print the space for the insets, these may be difficult to print nicely.
* `frame-piece-*`: the core frame broken up by individual faces, which are easier to print and essentially just as
sturdy.
* `frame-piece-*-extended*`: frame pieces that have been stretched out beyond the normal frame dimensions in order to
make a nice bevel on the sides and/or bottom; this, interestingly, tends to make the stick look a bit thinner than if
it was just a simple box.
* `misc-decorative-plate-*`: things you can print to snazz up face buttons mounting, auxillary button points, etc..
* `misc-dustwasher-*`: simple dustwashers for levers.
* `misc-lever-mount-*`: lever mounts of various shapes and depths to get the desired lever height when mounting a lever
to a panel (with the appropriate cutouts).
* `misc-neutrik-*`: like the decorative plates, but these are a bit more necessary by their design.
* `misc-rocker-*`: rocker SPDT switches don't have mounting holes, this allows you to attach them to the frame.
* `top-panel-inset-*`: various lever and/or button layouts for using as the face(s) of a stick.
* `top-panel-overhang-`: same idea as the inset top panels, but overhung over the frame to make the sandwich look; these
also leave a bit more space inside the frame, which might accommodate a taller lever.
Feel free to request or contribute to more objects, see the links to Git repos below.
## Printing and Assembling
Additional documentation regarding printing the objects and assembling the stick are available in
`docs/printing-and-materials.md` and `docs/assembly-and-tips.md`, respectively.
