About this item
USER
People who have difficulty with fine hand movements and find a round joystick hard to hold
WHAT
Due to motor paralysis of the hand and fingers, fine movements were difficult, and the user could not operate the standard round joystick grip well. A T-shaped handle was easier to hold and improved the effectiveness of joystick operation.
Printing tips
An advantage of making it with a 3D printer is that the handle (thickness and length) can be adjusted to suit the user. Printing the handle and the connector as separate parts prevents print failures.
Adjustment is needed to match the size of the threaded part of the joystick you are making it for. The handle and the connector are bonded with adhesive for a stronger hold.
