lxsapper Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 On another Note are you around Debolestis? I see you haven't posted in a couple of months and I'm wondering if this is still the best way to get in touch with you. I had a request for a couple of custom parts as well as some question regarding a couple of your already avaiable parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debolestis Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 I am still here. I am realy busy in real life latelly, but if you need something send me a PM. I sometimes don't find time to respond, and then I forget that I had received a PM. In that case please send me a PM again. I can print stuff myself or you can order from my shapeways store. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirusAM Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 i have received some days ago my new fssb r3 lighting base. I am worried about my warthog stick, i am afraid it will broke as it seemed to develop a little wiggle. I was looking to buy a tail piece from that shop but i am uncertain on which to buy if the plastic or metal one...is the plastic strong enough or i need the metal one?also i don't understand this part of the description in the shop page: It is not possible to print threads in two holes that are holding connector. If you want to make threads you must use proper tap tool for that, on plastic models that will not be necessary. what this means without the mentioned tap tool i wont be able to screw it back?I have nor the tool nor the skills to do that. Also another question....will shapeways ship from the US only?as i live in Europe i will have to add taxes to the price?or they can print and ship also from some office in Europe?

Thanks You don't have to use tap tool but when you unplug the grip you have to be extra careful and unplug the connector with your fingers. Shapeways ships from US and Europe depending on your location. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debolestis Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 so would you advice the metal one or the plastic one in my situation? I don't have experience with fssb base. One guy had problems with wobbling with my tailpieces with fssb. I didn't have much more feedback. Plastic is much cheaper, I'd try that. You can screw connector to plastic tailpiece as well. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sobe Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 debolestis Now I am confused. Are you Shapeways or is debolestis shapeways store something different?

streakeagle Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Like eBay and Amazon, Shapeways allows people to create virtual "stores" to sell their products. Debolestis designs parts, then uploads those designs to Shapeways' servers and Shapeways acts as a middle man taking orders, printing out parts, and shipping them for a fee. But Deblestis also has a 3d printer at home. He is offering to save you money on smaller parts because he can print them out himself with his only costs being the material, wear and tear on the printer, his time, and the shipping versus the fees charged by Shapeways to take care of everything for him.

Thank you, I wouldn't say that better myself. Shapeways minimum postage cost is arround 15 dollars for US and EU, much more for countries far away. I ship via airmail, maximum cost is 2 or 3 dollars. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobe Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 streakeagle and debolestis Now I understand. I was really confused as to whom I was dealing with. I intend to order the WH TM panel plates from him directly.

debolestis Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 I have few more parts available. First there is new throttle part, it was made per request. It has push through detent at 80%. I made new lever for F18. It is park/emerg lever, it is only available from me directly, so no Shapeways for this one. I have blank Warthog throttle plates, available also directly from me. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98abaile Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have few more parts available. First there is new throttle part, it was made per request. It has push through detent at 80%. Does this line up with the F18's afterburner without using curves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debolestis Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 Does this line up with the F18's afterburner without using curves? I don't know, I don't have working throttle at the moment so I need feedback. Bad news is that Shapeways raised prices for new prints and I think soon for all prints. You can see in my store that this part is double the price when compared to other simillar parts. My printer does a good job, I will print most of the parts much chraper. 10 Euros, shipping included for a part like this, postage is always around 2 or 3 Euros. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debolestis Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Whats the word on those new hat and castle switches? Do they fit the ALPS to Thrustmaster adapter or Suncom? They should fit. I could maybe print knobs that fit directly on Alps switches on my printer. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debolestis Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 I added new tailpiece, it was requested. It is VKB KG12 to Warthog adapter. VKB sometimes sells KG12 grips. I don't know what is situation with electronics in that grip, can anybody share some photos? - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) VKB grip electronics don't work with Warthog base - use different buttons controller inside with proprietary firmware and use digital protocol in 3 wires interface. - The promised MCG grip Warthog base compatible was not released. Rest the option of remove VKB electronics and install an shift Register, will require PS2 connector in your adapter.

It looks to me that electronics could be easily replaced with one 4021 shift register. PCB just have to be smaller. - Debolestis' Shapeways store - Debolestis' Facebook page - Suncom SFS and Talon restoration and mods - Cougar replacement gimbal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustBelt Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 They should fit. I could maybe print knobs that fit directly on Alps switches on my printer. What cost to do those two for the big alps plus an F/A-18 weapon select switch style top for the little Alps navigation button SKQUCAA010 Or heck even an F16 style TMS top. I tried to build some but I am clearly NOT a good digital part maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
