About this model

The logitech x56 joystick has this annoying center spring which quite often sticks making precise movements very hard or impossible (looking at you DCS aerial refueling). With this mold you can pour 2 component rubber and make the perfect replacement. i used some A10 shore 2 component sillicone from amazon. just cut it in half (vertical) in your slicer and use a tyrap to hold them together while your rubber cures.
