Sokol1_br Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) For 3D printing. ED-420 gimbal, dual CAM per axis, bearings in pivots. Draw for Defender Cobra M5 base, but suitable for DIY joystick projects. Topic in il-2 Sturmovik.ru Link for files in the topic. Login is same of il2sturmovik.com. Similar project, Olukelo gimbal. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2496028 Edited May 20, 2019 by Sokol1_br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewnix Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Nice! Thanks for posting this. I'm thinking I'm gonna try one of them in ABS. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propeler Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Similar project, Olukelo gimbal. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2496028 You can also find Solidworks Project of it at https://github.com/o-devices/o-joystick-hdk in case you would like to modify it to your needs.

Biggus Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 That looks amazing. Thank you very much for sharing this. I've got fewer and fewer excuses to not buy a printer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewnix Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 @propeler, Thanks for the files in githhub…. Personally I don't have access to Solidworks. I have been using Fusion 360 for my printing needs. @Biggus You know when I bought my printer, I was on the fence because it was 100% hobby thing. I have more of a interest in metal working and machining then plastic. But man once I got it, its really addicting and satisfying to draw something and print it up. I bought it to print knobs and stuff for the "pending thought" in my head of the cockpit I plan to build. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWC_Alamo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Sokol1, Thanks for posting this as it is very timely. I was about to try doing my own 3D printed CAM follower type joystick mechanism in Fusion360. I think I'll first try this one and see how it works and if I can improve on it.

aaron886 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Amazing stuff. It would be nice to see an installed part to hold the springs/bands, as I imagine PLA will wear and eventually break there first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
propeler Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 It would be nice to see an installed part to hold the springs/bands, as I imagine PLA will wear and eventually break there first. It actually wears really slowly on roads where bearings are rolling. Mine stay around 8 month to notice some smoothness changes. But you can always print spare CAMs and replace only them ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomVR Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I've been thinking about printing a 200% scale version for a floor mounted stick using skateboard bearings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
