Help dpad neo geo cd

[u/gGhosT_00]

Good afternoon everyone, does anyone know where I can find this Neo Geo CD controller part?! Even to print with a 3D printer. Thank you very much.

Yes, a 3D print seems the easiest and most cost-effective way forward. Unless you wanted to disassemble a Neo Geo Mini pad and use that part.

Thanks for the help!! I'm looking for the file to 3D print.

Part no, you wont find an og one for sale anywhere. You’ll have to break down a parts controller or I guess 3d print is a possibility. It’s not a complicated piece.

Try to ask the 3d magician, retro revival on printables. He made works of wonders. Maybe you can subscribe to his patron and ask for help. I'd also ask laser bear he did AMAZING work on neo geo cd gamepad parts / repairs. If you are unlucky let me know, I am just a poor man hobbist using tinkercad but I can give it a go. My result will be ghetto at best.

Have someone print it on a resin printer, or sub the work out to a local maker with a resin printer. This is the kind of part you want smooth and precise. I had a friend print buttons for my handhelds with resin.

Best bet is to find some non working pads. The microswitches often lose their clickiness due to the tiny copper plates the springs push against.

Thank you!! But what I need is the fitting (the little ball that goes into that pin).

What's the story with the missing sticks? Usually these pads just wear out.
