Snap
Description
SNAP is a device designed to support rally co-drivers during time trials, enabling precise and reliable time measurement during races.
I designed and produced the joystick through 3D printing.
Issue
Current solutions lack a device capable of recording sector times without introducing cumulative measurement errors.
Joystick
This joystick is designed to provide an ergonomic grip for both hands, with precisely engineered joints for the push button and electrical connections.
Manufactured in PETG to ensure thermal resistance and prevent deformation at high temperatures inside a sun-exposed vehicle.
Joints
The joystick is designed as two separate parts to optimize support-free 3D printing and facilitate the installation of internal components.
The two halves are secured with one screw each, which engages with threaded inserts heat-set into the plastic, ensuring strong fastening and reliable retention.
