3D printed linear throttle

Finally finished my (mostly) 3D-printed linear throttle.

The aim was to have a throttle with linear movement and an F-16-style grip, as I really like the ergonomics of it.

The grip is from Thrustmaster TQS throttle and slightly modified, top rotary was replaced with encoder, thumb slider buttons with Alps RKJXM HAT switches and thumb analog stick with controller style joystick. 

The base was designed in Fusion and 3D printed, some parts several times, while I refined the design. The longest print was over 30 hours.

The end result is a monster with 8 analog inputs and 90 buttons in total, including 7 single and 2 dual encoders.

The electronics are based on STM32F103C8 board powered by Freejoy.
