It’s been mentioned earlier in the thread.
It has a lot of extra features that the real stick doesn’t and that may be considered a plus by some users. The stick grip I have made remains a close to the original as possible, for better or worse

Well, so do I
Although I’m glad to see someone making a commercial attempt at a Viggen controller, I’m also a bit sad that they didn’t try harder…

It sure is looking like a cool piece of kit!
What material would you recommend for printing ?
Would PETG suffice ?

I would probably go with PLA for stiffness if I weren’t doing resin, but PETG would be more durable than PLA.
Of course, Troll might have designed with a certain material in mind…

@aniron pretty much covered it 
I have tried several different PLA and PETG filament, with or without carbon fibre.
PLA has the hardest surface and produces the least flexible product. PETG, being more flexible, will handle higher loads and higher temperatures, but that’s purely academic in this use case. There are also newer and better PLA these days, compared to just a few years ago. Add:north X-PLA, for instance, has a working temp. of 60°C.
I also recommend printing with 100% infill as well. Not because the design requires it, but just to add weight. It feels very sturdy and solid.

I would stay away from fiber-filled filament…

For me - and you all know my proficiency with landing the Vigen - to make it truly authentic I would need a set of ejection handles. Just saying.

Maybe all you’ve been missing is a proper Viggen Stick Grip…?

Is that metric?
Since emigrating to the metric world I must say, I like the metric system much better! You don’t weigh as much. Your car goes faster. And your “member” is longer!

Nope.
European glove sizes is one of the last holdouts of the inch

Bigger brain work than me. I’d have just bought a scrap flight stick, cast it in a mold, and done trial and error with various mixes.

That’s basically what I did…
But when you realize that metal isn’t an option, you settle for some kind of resin. Well, then you need to add material, because it won’t be strong enough. I have tried sooo many possible solutions. In the end it comes down to how much time I have got to spend on this project and what I can hope to charge for that time. It’s almost a division by zero… So, having the users do most of the the work themselves becomes the only viable option. If only I had a huge trust fund to support me
