The Wife's Away Edition Pit.

 

I really like the fixed canopy frame reference point and no TrackIR....but obviously need MOAR screenage. but the sense of speed with the frame rate at 1080p is frickin' amazing

 

projectors or 3 big ass screens next then :pilotfly:

Not much. Just fitted air conditioning. May mount them higher to throw more light into the pit.

First panel test print. Testing font size (needs to be bigger) and testing changing the filament midprint. Printed at medium quality and zero cleanup in the pic.

its softer, less crisp than CNC, and gets worse the deeper it is, so im keeping the front text panel at 0.5mm which stops the deep crevice effect. ill also try .25 thickness.

 

Im printing LED sockets to get them as close to the lettering as possible.

Nice job! I'm a bit jealous. I'm still searching for someone to cut the parts at a reasonable rate. Gonna have to bust out the JigSaw soon.

How is it different from cutting Acrylic sheets? Except it's easier to create negative spaces for LEDS, fastner hardware etc

Hardly Gene :)

 

I wanted the MFD's to be as close to the display as possible, to get rid of the parallax and offset of the OSB and the MFD buttons. So the mounts allow crappy hand cut holes to be covered with nice straight edge and accurate printed mounts that keep the MFD's just floating off the screen . If i had a CNC I'd do it differently

 

they're more function than form, when they're all done i may redo with a bit more design

 

still to do the MFD cable guides

 

the mounts will be fixed to the ply with machine screws into tee-nuts from the screen side so the mounts can be swapped out, if I want to reconfigure for various aircraft

cant get ms53330 font to work in 123design, so i used Franklin Gothic Medium Cond size 5.5. its bigger than MIL spec so you have to allow for that but its borderline clean and clear

 

the other trick is keep the black text layer as thin as possible, i tend to stay at .5 mm, so the letters are legible at any any angle
