Joystick Table Mount

Change 09.02.2025
Putted in a new version!

For my own use I have designed a mounting device for my flight sim joystick. I use a Thustmaster TCA Sidestick Airbus Edition.  The joystick table mount is made of eight printed parts needed assemble: 

• Left and right side rail
• Middle traverse
• Carrier plate
• Two screws
• Pressure distribution plates (one on each screw) 

Additional parts you need to build:

• 6 pcs. brass melt-in nuts M4 x 4mm
• 2  pcs. lens headed screws M4 x 10mm
• 2 pcs. washer 12x4,6x1mm
• 6 pcs. allen screws M4 x 20 mm
• 2 pcs. lens headed screws M6 x 15 mm for mounting the joystick devices

Assembly:

The middle traverse has holes for melting in flat M4x4 brass nuts.

The screws have a pressure distribution plate. It is needed to be mounted onto the screw by use of two M4 x 10mm lens headed screws and a washer It is needed to be mounted into the side rails before they are attached to the middle traverse!

For mounting the side rails you need six M4 x 20 mm allen screws (3 on each side)

Finally the carrier plate needs to be glued together with the side rails using super-glue.

I have used Prusa Slicer 2.9 and the fuzzy skin paint feature, which look really great! The definitions for it are in the .3mf files. I also used a textured PEI plate. 

The overall measures are: 

• 220 mm wide, 210 mm in depth, 150 mm high. 
• Plate area 200 mm wide x 210 mm deep, plate level is 145 mm below table surface
• 2 mounting screw holes, diameter 8mm, 25mm displaced from center line each, 198 mm apart, fits exactly for two M6 x 15mm lens headed screws to mount the thrustmaster joystick onto the carrier plate.
