3D Printed Joystick w/ tactile switches

American style joysticks are rather simple in design, can it be reverse engineered and 3D printed? Yes.
I added some features like interchangeable restrictor plates (4-way or 8-way) and varying sized actuators to customize the feel. In the end I made a working tactile switch joystick at 50% scale for about $3.40 in parts and filament.
