DDSSTT Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I am looking to replace the standard type knobs with the correct kind for my work in progress pit... see picture below... I've been looking all over and found a few places that have knobs like the real ones but either they are out of stock or only sell large orders because they have to make them... Does anyone here have the ability to make them or know some place that will make a small personal order? I fly in VR so even unfinished 3D prints are fine... Here is the list of Knobs: Rudder Trim (does not need a push button) (.250/6.35mm Knurled Shaft) Formation & Position Lights (once my ThrottleTek 18 arrives early next year)(.250/6.35mm Knurled Shaft) Select Jett (solid, using a push button encoder)(.250 Smooth Shaft) Console, Instrument, Flood, & Warning/Caution Lights (.250/6.35mm Knurled Shaft) Radar and INS (.250/6.35mm D-Shaft) Bleed air would be a nice to have... Thanks guys! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.csg-2.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDSSTT Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Heck if Deadman can run some batches that'll be great!!! They have almost all of them and they also have the measurements... http://www.ehcknobs.com/index.php?id=TM Deadman if you read this, I attached the knobs I'd like, I see you already have some in your shop and I'd like to place an order when you are able!!!

RightStuff Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 My current results (just a subset) in ABS: A little brushup after printing is neccessary, but so far I‘m satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadman Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Most of PC flights knobs are just as inaccurate as their panels just an FYI. Making accurate knobs takes quite a bit of time. making the models for one person it would not work. if there are several people interested and have confirmed the knobs need let me know Edited December 3, 2018 by Deadman https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

DDSSTT Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 YES!!! Thank you Deadman! I am already planning an order for 11x 1tl1-1 & 5x Eaton... I was going to order some of your knobs but they said 3mm shaft? They are not going to fit the potentiometers or my encoders... :( [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.csg-2.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadman Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yes what? I may decide to add the f-18 knobs if they are confirmed the actual knobs for the control panels and if there is demand. One person does not make demand. yes the knobs do say 3mm you can use that as a guide and drill the hold to what size will fit your device https://www.shapeways.com/shops/a-10c-warthog-supplies https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.

DDSSTT Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 Yes that you are considering it... If I can drill out to a larger size then I'll get those. Wasn't sure if that would work or not.

Mr_Burns Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Has anyone got a drawing of a landing gear handle that I could covert to Sketchup? I want a handle that will light up/flash red and with a stalk that will fit over a standard toggle switch that I can use a grub screw. A guy at work has said he would print one for me and would probably design it too if I could give him an idea of the size of one. I know a few people have designed ones for a-10 and f/a-18 with the led holders in them, I could probably add the tube to fit over a toggle switch. Any assistance would be appreciated!
