Guys, I just bought an Infimech TX 3d printer and IT BLOWS MY ENDER 3's out of the water!!! I just printed Mikkens Left and Right center Pedestal consoles for the MFD's. The quality I'm getting off of this printer is DANG CLOSE to RESIN!!!! It was $400 to my door. Literally print and walk away. Thanks Mikken for the files on Cults!!! You have reinspired me to FINALLY finish my pit!!!!! One thing you WILL have to do, is cut the parts. The bed is 220x220. Not a big deal, but just wanted to let everyone know.
Thx, nice to hear you got on track continuing pitbuild. I got mine an Anycubic Mega X years ago with a build volume of 30 x 30 x 30 cm so there is enough space.
do you plan to share 3d models and electrical base/circuits of project cause i really tend to build something like that. I can deal with 3d modeling by myself but i almost don't have any electrical knowledge :,)
yes I share 3d printable Parts at cults3d.com. But be aware that I also use a Laser cutter for the panels to cut out and engrave. And its even not all. You need knowlegde how to program microcontrollers like Arduino Mega 2560 or ATMega32U4 and so on.. That means you should have a basic idea of programming language c++ For electrical wiring I did not create a plan. I already build panel by panel an count afterwards, how many pins are needed on the microcontroller and do all wirings on the fly. It all ends on a micrcontroller or power dustribution. System base working voltage is 5V because of the controllers which are 5V based.
Gauges frames are made out of laser cutted 2mm white acrylic sheet. Its quite custom due to the gauges I used and the two LilyGo displays. But I can create a blank pattern without gauges cutouts but four drillings to mount it to the the center pedestal. So you can cut out gauges holes as needed.
That's pretty cool, but how do you plan to use it in VR? I play in VR and only use my stick, throttle, a few dials on the throttle base, and VoiceAttack, because I wouldn't be able to see something like this to press the buttons.
All dials are working! not yet, programming is not finished but later it will. some changes also pending, for example changing airspeed dial sticker from Cessna Style to F-16 style. all dials were formerly built for a Cessna Simpit. so there will be quite some differences to a real F-16 Cockpit but for me its okay because in VR you cant really read the dials while wearing VR Headset. Its only because of my expectation that something has to work whats built in
@mikken7403 i appreciate it. I have been wanting to build an F16 cockpit for some time. Your video sold me. I bought a bunch of 3D files off 3dcults like you mentioned here in another post from Legarsdusofa. I then bought an Anycubic Kobra 2 Max. Did this yesterday, so hopefully, I will be printing stuff by weeks end. Never had a 3d printer either. Just a small footprint resin printer. Is the pla holding up decently? Thanks again for your time. I appreciate it.
@@deepreach7821 @deepreach7821 heard good things about kobra max 2. PLA works fine and is the easiest type of filament to handle with. Also easy to handle and a bit more stable is PETG. Currently I am working on the wooden parts - ejection seat and floor. While doing this I also program microcontrollers to get instruments on center pedestal working. Will publish another video soon about electronics components and seat woodwork.
man, how it will be connect to sim? I understand like buttons and other, but how will flight instruments like altimeter and speedometer work? In whick sim u want to use it? GL in process! @@mikken7403
Sure, once it's finished. Currently, I'm in the building process, and there are often moments where I redesign things because I forgot this or that to consider. Some parts are available at cults3d.com
So sick. Do you know how much was spent on printing material? I'm planning on eventually doing something similar but dont know if I should get into printing.

Wow! that is a work of art. Creds too on the video production and all that must have gone into that.
just got the front stls from you, sp stoked to work on this
wow!!! nice job!!!! It's my dream to build something like this
Amazing!

Are you also selling the frame for the center gauges ? Been buying your stls, loving them!

lol, he just liked it and never answered :/ I was wondering the same thing
i bet integrating this with the game API is a NIGHTMARE
I agree but at the moment I am still building. So fun part is not over yet
Очень достойно!
Was wondering. I was hoping you'd share how you went about printing the left and right glare shields. Thanks
I share printable files at cults3d.com. There I also describe how to print them out.
Which printer are you using?
Anycubic Mega X
Where are the STL files?
What software do you use?
As simulation software it would be DCS World
Amazing job I wish I can have babies but I can’t stay I built a helios version
Amazng
Hey where did you get the dimensions from? Or did you just eyeball it?
researching the internet brought some plans and models to go further with...
do you plan on having working mechanical dials?
All dials are working! not yet, programming is not finished but later it will.
some changes also pending, for example changing airspeed dial sticker from Cessna Style to F-16 style.
all dials were formerly built for a Cessna Simpit.
so there will be quite some differences to a real F-16 Cockpit but for me its okay because in VR you cant really read the dials while wearing VR Headset. Its only because of my expectation that something has to work whats built in
Great work on this, which mfds are you using?
Thrustmaster Cougar without real displays because of VR setup
Please tell me the product name and manufacturer of the 3D printer you are using.

Looks great. How much filament did you need?
All together with failed prints and panels I use currently the 6th spool of black PLA filament. So 5 spools are done.

@@mikken7403 That is wonderful news.
We need a update video and test
Nice, what printer are you using?
older devices... Anycubic I3 Mega and Anycubic Mega X
Are you planing to share the files for printing?

WHAT IS THIS? A COCKPIT FOR ANTS!?!?!
its a 1:1 replica of the front section from a F-16 jet
So sick. Do you know how much was spent on printing material? I'm planning on eventually doing something similar but dont know if I should get into printing.
Currently I use the 6th spool of black PLA filament beneath smaller amounts of white.
