Product Description
**FYI: I recommend Linus's caps at steelsticks64.com over these. I'm just posting these for more options for people wanting specific colors or metal effects for their creative N64 controller projects. This cap is meant as a tribute to one of the best caps in the community, and is meant to add a different cosmetic flair.
The reason why I recommend Linus's is because his are generally better quality and lighter in weight (if going with brass, bronze or silver vs Linus's aluminum alloy).**
The purpose of this listing is to offer more cosmetic offerings for this great cap. They are designed to fit SS64 silicone rubber sleeves that fit over the SS64 caps designed for that. TaoStyx64 does not make these sleeves, but you can make them yourself or buy them from Linus at steelsticks64.com.
Bronze, Brass, or Silver are roughly 3x more heavy than Linus's aluminum alloy caps. The nylon caps should be lighter in weight than the aluminum and comparible to delrin. These designs have been tested by me personally, and they should all function right from a print/cast. The screw hole is the same size screw hole that the "Metal Mario Cap" has, so it should be completely functional right from the box without modification. Supply your own SS64 screw.
The nylon caps are have been tested from other platforms, and should be functional out of the box given my experience with 3D printing nylon. You will need a sleeve and a screw that is compatible with SS64 caps.
I can't guarantee fitment of the rubber sleeves on any of these caps, but my prototypes that I tested from resin fit the rubber sleeves perfectly.
Metal Appearance Descriptions:
Rose gold has more of a copper look that never tarnishes. (psst. it might match a bronze stick pretty well?)
Gold is very shiny gold color, of course that never tarnishes. 18k gold is slightly more yellow and 14k gold is slightly more copper-ish, but both are more yellow than plain polished brass.
Rhodium is a very shiny silver color that never tarnishes.
Unplated polished brass will slowly tarnish over time, but might be an effect that you like. Unplated brass looks kind of gold colored.
Unplated polished bronze will slowly tarnish over time, but might be an effect that you like. Unplated bronze looks kind of slightly more reddish colored than yellow brass. This will match your bronze Tao joystick if you have one.
Silver will tarnish over time, but it will be very very slow. Silver is more of a noble metal than is brass, thus the jump in price. Silver can be cleaned with baking soda to return it to a bright finish. Silver is roughly 20% heavier than bronze or brass.
Vermeil is gold plated silver. This is a premium option that will never tarnish. It will appear as though it is gold just like gold plated brass but will be mostly sterling silver instead of brass. Sorry for the high cost, but vermeil is pricey.
