IDEA

Use sustainable materials to create a hitbox style controller.

Design it to withstand the mashing in a fighting game

Make it something I will use in the future

Inspiration

Inspired by the DIY nature of the fighting game community

Seen fightsticks made from everything from “xbox cases to shoe boxes”

Want to contribute to this endeavor by prototyping with a unique material

Inspired by the sustainability efforts of the NYU Makerspace and the RePlasticing class

Want to use melted PLA plastic scrap from 3D prints to create a new fightstick.

Materials

Beginning of a long process of melting down PLA scraps into sheets

Started the process of:

  1. Weighing
  2. Measuring
  3. Heating
