I decided to start with the throttle as i would like a new hotas to use with the sim instead of my cheap joystick, once i finish throttle i will move on to stick and rudder pedals, then plan to build the rest, here are the completed grips.

Do you have extre Hall Sensors I could buy from you

id only have one with no components as im saving the other 2 for the stick and i soldered the boards by hand (which was a mistake because i damaged one of the chips in doing so)
its only around $10 plus shipping for the components and boards needed if you order from JLCpcb and lcsc, but thats assuming you didnt have them soldered by JLC
definitley will have them soldered for the more complex boards like the ddi's or at least buy a stencil as theres way too many components

What were your print settings for those grips?

printed in petg at 235 extruder temp/80 bed temp .12 mm layer height and 40% triangle infill

alright its been a while but im finally getting back to finishing this, ive been struggling too much with soldering hall sensor boards by hand and so im placing in a pcba at jlcpcb, which will give me 5, so therefore i can use 2 for the throttle, 2 for the stick (which is the next planned part) and 1 extra.
actually i didnt realize you can get only 2 and its much cheaper so i will only be ordering 2 for now

Might try using fiber filaments to print the throttle parts, will have an excellent look
Mine is PETG-GF

is this a 3d printed stick grip?

is this a 3d printed stick grip?
Yes. Printed with PETG-GF.

You did that with an A1??
Nah, That’s printed with my Voron Trident. I didn’t try printing fiber filaments on A1 mini now. The build plate is not big enough to print something I think.

Never heard of that printer it looks cool!

It's an open source project, maybe you can try build one too. If interested you can visit www.vorondesign.com

Well here’s the flight controls all complete, will paint stick mdf and pedals but right now I’m building the structure and got my first section done
LIP is done and for something that was entirely measured and cut by hand, seeing it all fit together is very reassuring
Heres a question, did any of you bother painting the brackets? i feel like i should paint them, but i dont know if sanding and filling is neccesary since you wont be able to see them
i currently plan on disassembling and painting the wood, and i wonder if i should do the same with the printed parts

helps with keeping moisture out of the mdf

Main structure complete and primed, I’m surprised how well drafting and cutting by hand turned out. Obviously it’s far from perfect but it should work

Got an bambu a1 after I bricked my neptune 3’s hotend from shorting the mosfet. Decided I should just upgrade after trying to fix this thing and waiting 2 weeks for parts
Left shows layer lines with new above and right shows another angle with new below
I dont know how well you can see but theres a noticable difference and the bambu took half the time

seat is installed and most of the visible portions are painted. in the picture the cushions look much more brown than real life which is a dark olive green. it looks more similar to this reference image i found
the stick and throttle have also been installed and i now can fly it, even though its basically just a cooler hotas at the moment due to not having any panels installed
warm oyster
ive gotten my first panel printed using a method i found online, not only does it look good, it is backlit too!
havent installed the indicators on the master arm panel yet so they are kind of blinding but it shows the concept works

howd you do the cushions?

howd you do the cushions?
i used an exacto knife to cut the foam, just eyeballed it really, then i just cut the fabric with fabric scissors and used spray adhesive to stick it on
you fold the sides of the fabric over kind of like youre wrapping a present'
the back isnt pretty but youll never see it so it doesnt matter'
this is the tutorial i followed to get the 3d printed panels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UHj5JaxNYU
also pla+smooth plate+.2mm nozzle works amazing, im very pleased with the result
