- Hello and welcome back to Mickey's Flightdeck.
In this video I will show you the build process of my COM panel. This will be part of my Boeing 737-800 pedestal.
You can find all the needed files to cut out and engrave your own panel as well as the 3D print files and the gerber files for the pcb in the member section of my website.
Also many other plans for building your own homecockpit can be found on www.mickeys-flightdeck.de.
Stay informed about my upcoming videos and subscribe to my channel.

Wow next episode again ☀️😀
Well done as always! Keep up the good work!
Good evening Michael!
Greetings from Russia.
My name is Aslan. I am an aviation enthusiast from Russia. I have recently found your chanel on TH-cam and have been amazed with it. I can't stop watching it. I am working in an airport as a load control dispatcher, and i am watching your videos between the job.
I would like to support your efforts and purchase the additional content you provide on your website. However, unfortunately, PayPal isnt working in Russia currently. Is there any other way to make a payment?
I dont own but i have an access to a laser cutter and engraver. Is there a possibility for you to send me one sketch files (any plate at random) so i could check whether the file formats are supported by the machine.
I couldn't find an email on your website, so i have decided to write you a message here.
Wish you all well and good luck with your project.
Hello Aslan, I think there are no ways of payment left between europe and russia for normal people. An email address can be found in the informations tab of this channel. Or on my website under Impressum.

hello michael first thanks for the amazing job you share its just amazing no words to describe, im starting to build my own sim so my question what do you recommend to buy for all self made sim
3d printer or cnc (60*60) or laser machine (small one). for around 1000$-1300$.thx
Your question just gave me the inspiration for a new video. Because there is no simple answer to this question. The budget is just one of a series of parameters to find an answer. It depends on the target quality of the panels and the rest of your sim. If you want to build a full size cockpit none of the tools alone can make all the work. When we are looking just to panel making let's talk about the budget. For 1300 you will get a very good 3D printer, a cheap big laser cutter (but with really bad components) or a cnc in the lower mid segment. You see, you can't compare the three tools when you are looking to the same budget. When you want to build a whole panel on your own then you can't just have one of the tools. It must be a combination. For making knobs I would recommend a resin 3D printer. When it comes to making panels that should be backlightable, then a big resin printer can do the job too if you are OK with raised texts on the panel. If your text has to be engraved and backlightable then you will need a cnc or a laser. Your budget is too low to have the printer and the engraver. Maybe these really cheap chinese cnc machines or a 40W CO2 laser can do the job (see my laser video), but after my experiences now I couldn't imagine that this would be fun for a long time.
With the woodworking tools I have here and this budget I would go to buy the resin printer and build a wooden cnc by myself (see my cnc building videos). This would get the best quality out of the budget (cnc material 800,- and the rest for cnc tools and the printer).
You see, a too complex topic for an easy decision.
@@Mickeys_Flightdeck yea its very complex , i saw that the cheap 40w laser with some upgrades does the job done for cutting and engraving acrylic for backlighted panels what do you think , now for the 3d printer i can get it in the next month when i got paied from my job.
from your experience what do you think better cnc or modded cheap laser for engraving for a backlighted panels?
now what the 3d printer can give me beside the knobs. cause you mentioned the resin 3d printer and not fdm printer that maybe can help with glare shields ,throttle and soo on..
maybe i wait another month ang get bouth lol.(there is no limts )
btw your a great guy keep it up man i have watched all your videos amazing.
thanks
@@fgameover9880 From my experience a laser can do a better job in cutting and engraving panels. You can create smaller details. There are limits to a cnc when it comes to small parts. A cnc has a mechanical and fast turning tool. That produces vibrations. So you have to secure the workpiece. A laser cuts just with light. Keep in mind, we are talking about 3 or 4mm acrylic. When it comes to 18 mm plywood the cnc makes the first place.
The resin printer can give you better details when we come to small parts again. But when I need a piece that has to be strong then I would always use a filament printer. So again, they both have their topics they are good in. I have both too.
Thanks for the video. I have a problem. I followed your video Used offset 05C4 and 05CC but in the display only zero's. Did I miss something from the lifestream?
I have solved it with the use of offsets via prosim. Cost me some offsets but at least it is working.
Hard to say from the distance. There are too many things that come across. This offset is used in the simulator to communicate the value of the COM. Maybe you can invest the time and watch my COM Panel live stream. I'm going through the whole configuration process with every single step.
From here on in the stream I'm doing the configuration and it worked in the first try. th-cam.com/video/IJl03Tj5VSM/w-d-xo.html
@@Mickeys_Flightdeck Thanks for your reply. Unfortunatly I can't find anything that I do different compared to what you say in both this video and the livestream. The only thing I can think of is that I use 3 pins for DIN, LOAD and CLK that are not next to one another on the arduino. But I can't believe that is the problem. So for this time I keep to my solution hoping that in the future i might have a bright idea and solve it afterall. Thank's for your time.
