Wish I could recommend you K-Silver's Switch-like joysticks for your project those have none of these issues, but I bought the last 2 of them. Since then they have been out of stock for 2 months already.
You shouldn't need to remake the whole arm. This can be fixed by filling the contact area by around 0.20mm. Here's the kind of piece that should be enough. The hole where it sits goes a bit deeper, but that should actually help to keep the piece in place.
Is it possible to 3D print something this thin and fragile?
So, you're saying instead of recreating the entire arm, just fabricate a small filler block? Something approximately 3.06mm by 1.75mm by 0.2mm?
Yes I can 3D print something that thin. Modern consumer printers can print things a good deal smaller than that. A UV resin printer especially can.
Slightly offtopic: wouldn't these fit the Nintendo Pro Controller? The form factor looks very similar (other than the PCB, which doesn't seem to have anything on it other than a SMD capacitor).
(edit: sorry, I just found out you already have another thread for that).

We need a T shaped piece that is 0.2mm thick? That's quite easy. Could you send me the exact dimensions? I've got a set of Gulikit hall effect joycons on the way, but it's going to be like 4 - 6 weeks because it's Aliexpress. If you've got the dimensions I can 3D model this right now and share the STL/OBJ.
Something like this. I would need to re-open one of my sticks to check the the exact measurements I currently have them all closed with the teflon triangle fix). The thinner part's thickness is approximately 0.20mm, and the wider one is close to 3mm (can be slightly longer).
They asked if I wanted a refund or replacement. I did not request through Amazon. I probably would have if you hadn’t posted what you did previously. That you for that!
Appreciate that, thanks. If you ever open them back up, I'd love it if you took exact measurements for me.

Quick question. Would it possibly be better to make a .2mm piece that fits under the the entire slider, filling up the full space of the black housing?I'm already on it.
There you go. Have fun
The slider underside isn't flat, and neither is the housing. There are some longitudinal raised lines along the slider, and also in the housing. They are not very protruding, but putting something there would probably make the slider not slide as smoothly.
Edit: I actually had tried that, and it didn't work for me because of the friction. Maybe it needed to be an even thinner piece?

Perfect. Here's an STL (3D model) and STEP file (CAD interchange) for that. If you're in the US, I'll happily print some and mail them to you to test.I'm already on it.
There you go. Have fun
Do you have any local maker shops? Or friends with a 3D printer?
This perhaps? https://impressao3dportugal.pt/
Probably PETG. But that would be on an FDM machine where the resolution may or may not be good enough. Otherwise resin.
PETG is 4 cents, resin is 5 euros XD
Shipping is 4 euros... I'll see if some friend closer can print this instead.
It will be better to remake the whole part in resin than produce an additional part in pet
but what do i know my cats eat my printer : oAh gotcha. It's a bummer international shipping what it is. Otherwise I'd send you like 50.
