My son and his friend recently purchased a 3-D printer and decided to reproduce some arcade game parts. They started by making parts used on original Midway Ms. Pac-Man / Pac- Man (and other video games) joystick assemblies, including the following (3) plastic parts:
Actuator
4-way Actuator Plate
Stop Spacer
They used an ABS filament to create these parts. They were reproduced as close as possible to the original dimensions and were tested on an original Midway Ms. Pac-Man joystick assembly. Post print processes were used to improve the durability and finish of the parts.
They would like to start making larger quantities of parts and selling these, but they would like to first have these parts tested in joystick assemblies by others. They would like outside opinions on the appearance and functionality of the parts. For the first three people who reply to this posting with interest, we will send a set of the (3) parts listed above, free of charge, but ask that you please provide your feedback on these parts within one week of receiving them.
They plan on selling parts for a competitive price, comparative to the current market (if available). The parts can be sold individually or as sets.
They also began reproducing the black shifter bezel for an Atari Pole Position (also used on other Atari video games). If you would be interested in testing or purchasing this part, please let me know. Also, if there are any other plastic parts that you believe would have a high demand and be somewhat easy to reproduce, please let me know so my son and his friend could look into reproducing those as well.
Here are pics of all (3) parts:
