I am looking for MWO players who own 3D printers in or around the UK.I am currently in the process of working on some mods to convert joysticks to new contactless "Hall Sensor" technology with the accuracy needed to make stick aiming in MWO feasible.If you are laughing at this point, the last laugh may well be on you - done right, stick aiming in MWO could be more accurate than mouse.There is also the potential to turn this into a business or at least a minor revenue stream.I bet many people would be willing to lay out money on a few printed items that allow them to do the conversion easily and professionally.We would be talking mainly sub-matchbox sized items, however I could see this expanding into other parts such as replacement handles with mount points for extra buttons.This is not something limited to MWO - this is equally applicable to the simulation market, and similar ideas would be applicable to the wider gaming market.The skills / resources I need access to are as follows:Able to print in a rigid material.Decent tolerance on the parts. Many of these are to do with the workings of the stick - any inaccuracies may well result in unwanted play on the stick.Ideally able to scan or model existing parts in 3D to modify geometry.Local enough to me (South London, UK) to be able to send parts or meet up.To get an idea of the kind of thing that I am talking about, please see a thread of mine here
