Sanwa 4 way SQUARE restrictor gate / replacement part

Description

I had a restrictor gate break on me and spent at least an hour googling around trying to find a replacement SQUARE 4 way restrictor gate for a Sanwa joystick. I did a quick and dirty remix to change the diamond 4 way gate into a square gate. It was downright astonishing to me that I could find <i>LITERALLY ZERO</i> square replacement gates for Sanwa joysticks ANYWHERE. There are about a million octagonal ones and circular ones and diamond/clover ones, but I haven't seen a single, regular replacement square gate. Still kinda blows my mind that nobody has ever needed to replace their gate in a hurry. So hopefully someone finds this useful. Printing settings don't really matter, but I printed with 4 walls and 4 top/bottom layers for extra strength since I'm sure the gate will take quite a beating over its lifetime. Print time is ~1 hour @ 45mm/s and .20mm layer height. Not sure why my example print kept the weird top triangle pattern but when I slice it now, it's not there. Snaps right into place under the joystick and can be removed without damaging the connecting parts. For some reason thingiverse doesn't seem to want to display the images that are uploaded to this file, so here's imugr links for them: ![Imgur model image link](https://i.imgur.com/TmmOdPs.png "Model") ![Imgur example build image link](https://i.imgur.com/gfRkmHE.jpg?1 "Example build")
