Fantastic work, Karl! You've convinced me that I also need a 3D printer. Odered a ender-3 yesterday. Keep on the good work and thx for sharing. Cheers Bernie
The cockpit door is under construction, The problem being getting aluminium here is proving to be quite difficult. Even though we have loads as work for aircraft repairs. I think the company might get a little upset with me. Besides, i don't need aircraft grade/expensive aluminium lol. I'm actually trialling mdf painted in aluminium paint right now. But mixed results. some parts look fantastic, others look horrid. it seems to be down to how well its mixed before application.
@@helimech8152 the truth is everything here is crazy. Honest to God. Some times ,no almost always makes me sick this fact. If you buy part in ebay price for example is 1$ that part in japan some times is 20$. I call it robbery. No honesty here.
im thinking about PVC pipe ( for the control column) and 3d printed yoke ( PLA filament. Would it work fine ? I mean in terms of rigidity, feeling, weight.
Sir, how do you always ensure that the parts always fit? For tight fits, and 3D printing.. I have fear that the printing might not be as precise .. and the parts might not fit so well
Hi Daniel, Everytime i get a new printer i calibrate for the X,Y,Z axis. I have 7 printers in all and usually all parts fit without issue using a 0.2mm offset. For a free moving part, i would increase that offset to 0.4mm. Generally if you are using the same printer, you want have an issue, because all parts will have the same error and should fit regardless.
It is really cheap. I m building Cessna 172. Most parts are real from Cessna retailer. Sooooooo expensive.i am PPL pilot and I could not finish the whole course. So I promise myself I do something and if gods will some day so show have my own flight training with a really affordable tuition. Sounds funny. So after c172 I m going to make 152 and then either 737 or A320. This is for flight sim training. Hope I earn enough to buy real plane to finally have flight training. I stay positive and trust faith. I really congratulate you. Good job good price.
I make most of parts, infact the whole cockpit is pretty much just MDF wood made to look like the 737. The panels are perspex. My website is www.737diysim.com. For panels I really like www.cockpitsimparts.co.uk. I can not make them cheaper than they produce them.
Hi None none. My expenditure list is on my website. And as i stated in of of my recent posts, some of that 4000 was spend on a filming camera, tv etc. The reason its so cheap is that i have bought pre-made panels from cockpitsimparts.co.uk. Everything else was self built. The structure is all MDF and was free. I was also gifted all my monitors. But if you buying parts from the start, its going to cost a LOT! my overhead panel cost $250. To buy a full forward over head is above $3000
Fantastic work, Karl!

Now your just making me jealous! That's the printer i want!
I ordered a 3d printer and cnc machine. Thankyou Karl.
Wonderful as always! I really enjoy so much watching your videos! You are so descriptive and detailed! Thank you Karl!!
Thank You Gian!
nice work shipment Karl...nice to watch your work..
Thank you kindly
Are you going to use a Bulletproof/Crashproof Cockpit door? That would keep uninvited guests out! 🤣

@@helimech8152 I don't know if this will work, but you could modge podge/glue Aluminium Foil to the MDF. You might want to do a few layers.
my favorite youtuber
Thank you so much for reply. It explain why Is 4000. The one I saw in japan was all metal. But you did an great great job. Contrartulations
Hi none none, I am having massive flashback here. I was at work the other day, and one of my friends was in Japan. He said the exact same thing!

Thnks for your tutorial videos, you make it see thay its easy to build a home diy sim, congrstulations!
Thank you for the kind words.
Supper, how much cost and how many times take its?)
この方はホ-ムコックピット世界の神様です。素晴らしいです。

Yes for the control column! But not the cross link for dual link. That's where i failed. But for a single yoke it works perfectly!

Happy new year sir. How much you paid for this sim??? It must be quite expensive.
There was a running total on the website, but between sim 1 and sim 3, i think we are looking at 4000 pounds, but that does include the CNC machine.

Oh rubbish! Sorry, didn't realise i had already answered to you! Its a very common question.
Do you how to make a320 sidestick? Please
Hi, unfortunately, I don't. I have never looked at airbus
Are you going to do whole aircraft 😂?
Sir where did you buy your parts? What web site please?

Only 4000 pound???? For entire sim???? I was in japan and I asked them how much the said 100000$
