[Build] Iron Man and War Machine fightsticks.

[linkreincarnate]

So I have been working on a couple of fancy fightsticks for about 2 months now. I think I finally have enough done to start posting about it.

First the stick art.
This is mine.

and this is the one for my best friend. Tovio did both of these on commision. They are drawn to look like me and my buddy.

This is the body I designed but will probably not get to use. (it's on thingiverse for anyone who wants it. I have updated versions I can upload too if people want them.)

This is the little elevator I designed to hold a pico projector

That will make it into the final stick.

The actual stick I'm getting will probably look something like this

So as far as the features go:
Crown 309mj
sanwa obsf-30 gold and black and grey
Brooks ps4 with audio rev 2
Raspberry pi 3
ws2812b rgb leds
Native 780p 50 lumen pico projector https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MCY4KYH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Built in speaker and mic
passthroughs and switches to make it all work
HDMI out
elwire power leads
Anker 26800 ampHour battery
Voice control through google assistant/alexa
Voice activated macro recording and playback

I am debating begging someone in here to make a retropie theme that will work with the overal asthetics of these two sticks....

I'll post more when there is more to show.

Feel free to comment or make suggestions.

Update time!

I decided to use the 3d models that I generated after I figured out how to convert them to step files.

I sent them off the the cnc manufacturers' and he sent me these images that were generated by simulating the tool paths. He also included a picture of a part he rejected but included a pic so I could see what it will end up looking like.

What else? Did the themes for each stick, I could really use some help on making them look a little nicer from some of you theming pros. I think I'd even be willing to throw a little bit of cash towards it. (Not much because my budget is blown to hell already but given that it's already blown I can probably justify another 50 bucks or so ) So any well established themers who want to make a little beer money should pm me or reply to this post.

Theme images will go up just as soon as I figure out how to take screenshots of emulation station.

Another update.
I've got a few more pictures and files to share but instead of replicating my documentation of this build all over the internet I wrote up a good bit on thingiverse. There you can find all of the relevant files needed to replicate this on your own.
