Chubby - the best thumb mod of the mini remote, 02.07.20 - files and instruction added

I find that to be the case with mine honestly yeah. The throttle is touchy because rocking it forward only 1/4 of the way gets me to full throttle

I even took a joystick out of a Nintendo Nunchuck controller.

This is the initial issue I came across. Holding it more like Dani’s first pic definitely helps, but reduces my fine motor skills with regards to the stick at least. It’s a great design and I think it will work well for most depending on grip preferences. I’m going to play with the design sometime. Little more of the pot towards user would be perfect IMO.

I think a small nub with some knurling/jimping might be better for your extended thumb control, the analog thumb flat seems like it might be better suited for the more claw-like grip you use on a gamepad.

Maybe try seeing how it feels if you just pop off the stick and just use the potentiometer post for control?

Did a quick test with the pot I have here.
There’s a small deadband at the travel ends, but it’s fairly linear in the middle.

How do you get 0.12mm prints with such a good layer after talking off the raft!?!

1 Like

It’s 0.2mm layer with brim option

Hmm… With 0.2mm cura did not load print a ton of holes and the battery holder bar (not the one that the board sits on)

Just put it all together, does the red light turn on when it’s tuned on?

One other question…

I set up my chubby with a 502 45x potentiometer. I just found out I am meant to use a 502 60x potentiometer. What is the difference and can I still possibly use the 502 45x?

… wut? Those the ones I sent?

Nope… The ones Ed had :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: The ones you sent are at Ed’s so I can’t grab em and check

Nvm… The ones you sent were also 502 45x :man_facepalming:

Where are you seeing it should be 60x?

Hmm… I see on Dani’s pot pics…

I wouldn’t worry about it :wink:

Could be sensitivity/throw stuff tho.
