So I’m very large and strong, I think I may be the cause of this. But does anyone know of a strong replacement? I’m capable of installing it myself, but my cursory Google search turned up nil for “strong game sticks”(let the jokes flow)

Just curious if I’m stuck playing d-pad game.

    I think I would start by scouring the web for suitable replacement stick 3D-printer files. Once I had those, I would investigate what 3D-printing filament material is especially strong, and look for a place to print the files with that material.

    If there’s a hackerspace / makerspace in your area, someone there might be able to help.

      Problem is going to be layer adhesion. No matter if I orient it horizontally, or vertically. If injection molding can’t stand up to the pressures I’m using, I doubt additive manufacturing will.

      Not trying to sound combative btw! I appreciate all input and challenges to my thinking.
