I'm sure it's possible they've upgraded their process. Or that i got a bad batch, however i've experienced the wax issue with every stick i've replaced. Happy to hear the stick boxes worked for you. I've still got about 15 of them myself.

Yep, using oomoo30 silicone and task 4 resin from smooth-on.

Yep, here are a few shots of one of the first I made. Mind you the top would be sanded down and replaced with a casted "stiff" silicone for long lasting grip. The stuff i sourced was industrial strength. https://ibb.co/chhMK8 https://ibb.co/daxoz8 https://ibb.co/d0Qae8

Sorry I haven't checked back in awhile. A TON of excellent links towards potential GC parts. Just as a general statement, i do still have a bunch of blue, red, and green caps if anyone wants any. Just send me a PM, or buy your own from the link @Dohald posted. Addressing the "wax" issue. The...

Excellent, i'll be sure to pick up some more then. The caps i mentioned earlier didn't work out so well :/ They lasted much longer than others i tried but because there is silicone on top and bottom of the cap, it sometimes catches which is annoying. I now have everything i need to "cast"...

Kadano, To date, what is the best way to source a new potentiometer aside from using old controllers? Have you located a reliable supplier? Still looking for one myself, I've been using the ones i've found before and so far they're ok.

Great to hear, i'll use them as a last resort then. Did you get your caps yet?

Also wondering, how do these T1BF sticks compare to other non OEM stick boxes? Should i preference these over some of the other readily available ones online like the orange and blue ones?

Ah! So close! And the search continues... Hey Kadano, have you tried reaching out to Mitsumi or contacting the foxconn facility in Guangdong to see if you can get any stick boxes? Sent out a few e-mails today, although i doubt they'd be interested i figured it was worth a shot. Im imagining...

Great addition Kadano! Now only if we could find the type 3 Smash controller stick boxes...

I reached out to his Facebook page and got a reply from him stating he no longer runs the shop. That's what sent me on my mission to find my own!! haha They're holding up great, i've replaced about 5 different controllers with mine and they work fine so far.

Would be willing to sell some caps sure, i'll PM you.

I basically spent weeks searching in forums and electronic shops for every recommended stick box. The trick was looking through google images, which is where I found the above one. I noticed it had "supports" underneath the plastic arches, and figured they might be good quality. The supplier...

For any one interested. These are ( from what i can tell through testing ) original game cube controller stick boxes. Got a sample of 26 and they work perfectly even after a solid 100 hours of heavy use in Smash 4...
