debolestis Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 What is the difference between these two? I'm a little confused. https://www.shapeways.com/product/UBB8WRU3A/warthog-throttle-part-afterburner-detent-with-0?optionId=66710386 https://www.shapeways.com/product/3MJPNE2SV/warthog-throttle-part-afterburner-detent?optionId=63799442 I have the latter by the way, and absolutely swear by it. They are the same in the afterburner part but there is small detent at 0% throttle on first one. That was made by request. - 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 August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 I have bought Prusa I3 Mk3 printer and is in operation. I can print most of the parts from my Shapeways store cheaper,and my postage prices are much cheaper from Shapeways, at most 3$. I am now trying to print locking collars since they are most complicated to print. At the moment I have only grey, black and white filament. Send me a message if you are interested. - 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...

suhast Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 lock nut Just to let people know the debolestis F16 warthog lock nut (plastic) is a tight fit with the warthog base and works, but it definetely won't work with the virpil Warbrd base (I don't know about the T50) there must be a tolerance issue. Also, does anyone know where I can get a replacement for the micro din connector (male of the warthog grip? Thrustmaster does not have them in stock. Regards.

heloguy Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Hey debolestis, Is this something that could be done sturdy enough by a 3d printer to use as a joystick mount? I just dug an old Obutto rig out of the closet, and want to be able to mount a Gunfighter Pro to it, and I'm having a heck of a time trying to find a place nearby that can do this in metal.

chief Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Ordered the joystick tailpiece. The hole is not wide enough to accommodate the ground connector and 5 pin connector. Frustrating when things like this have not been beta tested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating when things like this have not been beta tested You have to bend ground connector a bit. I know it is a problem but this way there is thicker wall and stronger part. - 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 August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I am sorry that it doesn't work. I planned to redraw that thing anyway. I'll do it soon. I have print two on my printer, and look and quality is great. Connector is 5 pin mini DIN male connector. It can be bought HERE but without mounting bracket. Any chance of someone making up a copy of that mounting bracket that the core of the male connector could slip in/be glued in? I don't have a Warthog stick, I'm doing a Sidewinder FFB2 and X-Flight and Suncom Hawk conversion with your parts and really the hardest part is the darn Mini-DINs. I THINK I have the right female one on order with Mouser but nothing on the male side except the cable end type. Thrustmaster has to have bought them from somewhere. But no joy. It's just a hunk of plastic with a Mini-din connector stuck through it. If I wasn't tragically bad at CAD it seems like an easy little dingus to cobble up.

Weegie Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi debolestis I am thinking of adapting an old CH Fighterstick to fit on a TM Warthog base. I know I'll need the tail piece (once I open the stick I'll know which one) and a securing nut (F-15 probably)) Like the previous poster I was wondering about the possibility of having a tailpiece that doesn't mimic the Hog and simply has a slot or hole that a DIN could be glued into or attached? I was also wondering if there were any plans to produce these tail pieces with offsets similar to the Warthog tailpieces? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joca133 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 First off, thanks Debolestis for your genius work with the community. I am wondering on dcs, which aircraft the dual detent afterburners will work best. I have been using the one detent push mod and have a hard time seeing a need for the dual one.

RustBelt Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 I can mke the tailpiece. I'll upload put it in my stare in next few days. I cannot make a slot for muni din connector. In futzing around finishing off the B8 I found with how I shrink wrapped the din connector it wedged perfectly into the hole of the X-fighter to Warthog adapter. No movement, clean insertion and removal. This is the CUI MD-50 Mini-DIN I used: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/cui-inc/md-50/?qs=WyjlAZoYn503H42gPmj60w%3d%3d&countrycode=US¤cycode=USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustBelt Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 (edited) Also here's the ALPS 5 way navigation switch in the X-Fighter B8. I had to mount it to a square of perf board matching the size of the original switch and had to fashion a new back stay out of Acrylic scrap because the old original piece disintegrated from age. ALPS 5way https://www.adafruit.com/product/504 By the way, you must mount this to some perf board, the feet are too fragile to just solder a 22 AWG wire too without it failing. "Always order more than you think you need" -Adam Savage Still gotta make a cap for it. post is 3mm X 3mm X 3mm but it needs like 0.2mm clearance to fit without forcing it really badly.

debolestis Posted October 3, 2018 Author Share Posted October 3, 2018 I added 2 more models to my store. CH to Warthog tailpiece/adapter. It is tilted 13 degrees to forward and offset 15 degrees to the left. Second part is throttle part for Harrier. It has detent only for right grip but not on left grip. - 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 October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 I had request to print F-18C Select to Jettison Rotary Knob, I had only basic measurements, It was mostly eyeballed but I think that it looks good. It will not be sold on my Shapeways store, but I will print it myself. Please contact me if you need one. Also contact me if you have any other requests for 3D printing. For this I created Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/debolestis Please like and subscribe, I'll produce more stuff like this in the future. Knob should be used with switch like this one: - 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...
Terrorvogel Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hi Debolestis! Could you draw me a new CMS knob for fitting with Leo Bodnar´s nice and cheap 8 way-hat-switch with pushbutton? I would need two of them. Is the colour grey also possible in plastic because i don´t like metal version? If not possible in grey i would take the white version. What would be then the price inclusive taxes and shipping to germany? Here is the Link of the used switch: http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98_87&products_id=210 I hope the dimensons are clear enough at this picture, if not please ask me: https://picload.org/view/dcarldcl/_cms_knob_for_leo_bodnar_4way_.png.html Kind regards, Terrorvogel ASROCK X79 Extreme11 (WC), i7-4930K (WC), 32GB G.Skill TridentX, Vertex 3 120GB, GTX 980ti, 3x 39,5" Philips 4K, TrackIR 5, TM Warthog with PeterP´s FFB2 Mod, 2xSaitek Throttle, 2x Thrustmaster Cougar MFD Bezel, Simped Vario Pedals modded with toe brakes, Opencockpit Cards, 4x Soundcard, 2x Buttkicker Gamer 2, 4x GTX 950 with tons of touchscreens...
