Summary

Important edit!: First print showed that top fits perfectly with rubber covers to the hat, stem is roughly right diameter but needs a bit of enlargement for the stopper ring slot and reinforcement of connection between top and stem, so stay tuned for updates!

This is my first made 3d model, it was made in SketchUp 2019, so if you have problems or proposals please write a comment and post a make!

This is a replacement part for Saitek/Logitech X52 HOTAS, especially for both of the POV Hats on the stick. This part is made following the original's sizes so it should fit.

Original part is made by plastic forming so it probably doesn't have all the strength of the original, but should make do if you have no other variants.

I made the hole for the LED so that it can resemble original as much as possible, I will try to make another one but for a more snug fit for other Hats. (I tried Farkaskoma's castle hat and the POV switch became very wobbly and loose to the point of clicks being barely recognizable) Next one might not have the teeth fot the rubber covers and instead feature a flat disk for more strength and easier modeling of other hats.

You are welcome to do remixes if you have ideas how to improve the X52 as well.
