F14 manual WING SWEEP lever MOD 3d printable

starting to draw a wing sweep lever for the Thrustmaster WARTHOG Hotas FRICTION LEVER

this is the progress thread for it,

this will be 3d printable for everyone

AUTO movement will not be implemented by me (someone may modify it later, when thats implemented in the module)

there will be no need for opening or voiding your guarantee with this MOD

there is no axis assignment possible for this lever in HEATBLURs F14 atm, but i expect this to be added in the near future

reserved

raise-mechanism is designed, next step will be the stop-mechanism for 20°, bomb° and 68 degrees, including park/72°

Congratulations.

Killing time in the bathroom, honey bring me some matches...fewwwwww.

Are you planning to use the dovetail bottom plate from the AV-8 project?

ah, yes , why not, its a bit tight but working, do you have any suggestion for a change here.

imo having the same mounting solution makes the change easier and cuts the parts list

following this!

I was hoping you were making them compatible to reduce print costs. Glad to hear it works, even if tight.

lever is complete, doing the housing now, then the cover

subscribing! very nice.

design phase is done, starting printing a prototype now

hello but what program do you use to design your projects?

FUSION360

1st prototype

so, 1st prototype is assembled,

as i am on vacation for the next 12 days i will do the refining, and improving thereafter

have a look, its longer than the AV8 lever but just half the width

That is pretty cool man !

FoxDelta I am truly impressed. Great work!

I am very interested once the design is finished to have one, are you thinking of selling machined units yourself our sharing your files for us to print?

And if so, is there an online printing service you would recommend?

Also, just a few very personal observations that could be discussed.

The real cat's lever moves but of course this one is passive. I think I would find the cover annoying after awhile and remove it altogether, unless there is something I'm missing?

Also If there is a good reason of having the cover (realism of course is a valid concern) would it be possible to have it in clear polycarbonate-like material so we can see at a glance the position of the lever when the cover is shut?

Watching with interest...

hi,

as i did with the other projects i will make the files available here (AV8,F18,) u can find me also on thingiverse if u need a warthog extension or a raised vkb base. i have no need to sell anything for profit.:smilewink:

not really, there was a comparison site out somewhere

https://craftcloud.all3dp.com but i would recommend buying a printer yourself. acceptable printers cost below 300 €

if u want this lever to be motordriven, of course this can be done, but i do not have the skills to do that ,yet

if anyone wants to do this pm me and i will send you the fusion360 link for the file, for easier modification or do the modification as needed myself for you

there is already some nearly transparent filament out there, so yes.

the transparent part is missing in the pictures, as its not relevant for the prototype, also i haven t yet published photos of the raised lever nor how that works.

next step will be refining the function of the lever, e.g. the need to raise it for the oversweep

then pretty it up

That's looks awesome FoxDelta, your contributions are truly unique!

Enjoy your vacation.

cheers

John

I'll hunt you down over at Thingiverse! I'm using a Creality CR-10S, with tons of mods to it. :) Plus, I love using Octoprint on my Raspberry Pi, to help manage things.

Great work there M8!

How are you solving the click to extend on the lever and cover?

Are you still working on this mod?

Are you still working on this mod?

sorry, i haven t abandoned it

at the moment i am too busy at work, so its on hold, but i will come back to it for sure

I buy a CR10S 3D printer almost only for this handle and your project ! very nice job !

FoxDelta, have you considered making new grips for the warthog itself in F-14 shape?

thx, hope to find some time again to finish it, atm i am considering publishing the files as they are

i do not own the warthog grip, unfortunately i bought the vkb gunfighter grip mk1 which got changed to mk2 with the release of their modern combat grip.

if i would have made a new grip for it i would have used just another MCG for the electronics and buttons. but a MK1 grip is not avbl in europe anymore, so no plans on that at the moment
