1. Plate subassembly

In each plate, place a magnet in one of the rectangular holes and glue it in place.

Make sure to do this on a flat surface in order to prevent the magnet to protrude beyond the plate’s outline.

Place the second plate on top of the first one: the holes in the middle should form a cross and the magnets should be on diagonally opposite corners of the assembly.

Place the slide ring inside the cross-shaped hole.

Place the plate assembly in the rectangular space inside the carrier.

Plates and slide ring should be able to slide inside the carrier without friction.

Prepare Hall sensors by soldering wires to each of their legs. Insulate middle solder junction with heatshrink tubing to prevent short circuit.

Take the carrier top and place both Hall-sensors in their appropriate location. Glue in place. Sensors should be placed in diagonally opposite corners.

Take the axle part, and tap the smallest hole with M3 thread.

Screw the ball head screw into this now threaded hole.

Glue the non-threaded end of the shaft into the remaining hole in the axle part.

Push the axle part through the spherical bearing.

Place two M3 threaded inserts in the two holes in the bottom of the dome, using a soldering iron.

Push the shaft assembly into the large hole in the bottom of the dome. The bearing should be inside the large hole, with the ball headed bolt sticking out from the flat side of the dome.

Place the bushing on the shaft, ensuring that it can move up and down without friction.

Place the compression spring on the bushing. Fix in place with washer and flat nut. Tightening this nut will increase spring force of center return.

Place second flat nut on threaded end of the shaft. It’s position will later determine the height of the shaft cover.

Place the dome/shaft subassembly on top of the carrier top. Make sure the ball headed screw goes inside the slide ring in the center of the plate assembly.

Guide the wires coming from the carrier top through the two holes in the carrier.

Align the two mounting holes in all parts.

Place two M3x16 screws in the carrier holes and screw everything tight.

Place the shaft cover on the shaft. There should be a small distance between the wide part of the cover and the dome, else adjust the top flat nut on shaft accordingly.

Finally, screw on the ball. This will fix the shaft cover in place.

Check for friction free movement of the joystick.
