- Hello from Brunei!
This has been one of the hardest and longest designs to date. Couple this with a hugely increased workload with my Job here on the Bell 212's, and this has taken this project to the new lengths. TH-cam tells me, it has been over 60 days since the last upload! Wow! But there is so much happening at this end!
I this video you will see the highs and lows of this build.....I think we are nearly there now.
A massive Thank You to Sebi Woelke for the Intro and Logo!

A couple of people have asked if I have a Patreon account, I finally got around to creating one. If you fancy showing support for the videos and build, and I have switched off advertising for videos now:

Thank You!
Good job Karl!!
Thank you!
Just love your dedication and patience... truly inspiring.
Definitely you are a master!
Hello and Thank you! Kind Regards Karl
Thanks so much! Amazing work! test 659!! ha ha ha nice! keep on it! Best Regards from Spain!
Thank you very much! Kind regards Karl
Well done Mate!
Thank You Ferry! Much appreciated!
I like how you have shown the trial and error process of designing your flight sim. I can’t even imagine the total print time and material used. Keep up the amazing work!
Hello from Brunei, the print times have been extreme, and my own stupid fault really. U always printed at 100% infill when the design was flawed. So now I print all promoting at 25%. The pla I have wasted is a real problem as we can't get it here. So I'm having to ration it and the prints I try. This is why there are so many different colours.
Great I love your approach.
Hello VT, Its the only way i can think of while im out here. The next version had best work!
You inspired me to kickstart my Concorde Sim project, thanks! For anyone interested, I think I'll finish 5 years from now hahaha
Hi muhammad! Thats great to hear and i hope to see a few photos as you build. Kind Regards Karl
So glad I found this channel. Your work is very inspiring, even tho I prefer Airbus, lol. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. This is great stuff. Cheers.
Hello and thabknyou for taking the time to comment. There are those that love Boeing and those that love Airbus. Great to have you along.
Great job
Thank you Farid.
Karl, you're so awesome, they're going to have to invent a new word to just describe how truly awesome you are! Thank you for your work for the DIY flight sim community and advancing it with these great designs! Keep up the amazing work!
Hi Dude! Humbled by the kind words, Thank you for all the support! Kind Regards Karl
I've waited so long!!!
Its taken a lot longer than i expected! Especially restarting it for metal gears!
I like the way you show when it goes wrong and the way you progress to get it right, find these videos fascinating
Hi Mick, Thank you. This nearly beat me at one point, but glad I persisted! It should look awesome! So happy with the new yokes
Always enjoy your updates, Karl. Thanks for sharing them.
Thanks for watching! Great to hear from old friends! Karl
Nice Job,Heli!!!
Awesome
Thank you
Great 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
@@helimech8152 it’s very very beautiful 🤩 do you know JLA320 on TH-cam ?
Nice!
Thanks!
You are the man!
Thank you! Humbled and i just hope to get past this hurdle!
@@helimech8152 keep working! I will be here watching your amazing creations :)
Karl I honestly don’t know how you do all this work, one thing my mum used to say to me was revise revise revise but I’m not sure she meant this much?? 😂😂 Yet again a sterling job and all your revision has paid off 👍🏻👍🏻 keep up the good work, it’ll all pay off in the end. Amazing 👍🏻👍🏻
Hello Keenoosabi! This comment made me chuckle, thank you for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated! Kind Regards Karl
Hey, now with own intro, nice. I had to comment when I saw the installation of these bearings. Bang, and the bearing snapped in. That must have been very satisfying.
Hi Mickey, I think you were first to comment on the video. I finished work at midnight, spent 4 hours editing the vid, then went straight to bed. Its amazing to wake up and see all the comments! Thank you. The into is down to Sebi who also created the new logo. Surprised me with and im also very grateful. Good luck on your build, I'm watching from afar! Kind Regards Karl
Hey Karl, This was a very inspiring video! I purchased your design for my cockpit setup I'm printing as we speak!
Hi Loius, That's awesome, thank you!
Finally the video we have waited for
Amazing Karl, thank you!
Thanks John!
Amazing man😊
Awesome work. You are the Man!!!
Thank You Oscar! Humbled! Kind Regards Karl
Great effort and an awesome video to watch as always, Karl! I like these prototyping videos, because they let us see just how much work you put into the designs....just a note, for the gears, perhaps PETG would be a better choice? I know you mention ABS at the end, but PETG offers just as much strength as ABS, with none of the nasty smell/headache that induces :)
Hi BK Hobby, I have actually bought several rolls of PETG, but never got around to using them. Thank you for the advice and I will give it a go! Kind regards Karl
@@helimech8152 Great! An added benefit to PETG over ABS is that it's much less prone to warping and actually stays on the build plate! If you haven't used PETG before, here are a few tips to you started:
-Use retraction (especially on a bowden type printer) - PETG does get a bit stringy if you don't
-Use a cooling fan for all but the first few layers (it helps with the part strength and reduces stringing, as well)
-Use about 70C heat bed temp - helps the part stay on without any additives
BTW, if you have a PEI build plate, all you need to do is wash it down with a bit of IPA (rubbing alcohol) to help adhesion....but if anything, I've had my parts stick too well to PEI!
Looking forward to your next videos!
woooooooooohoooo that's what i was waiting for !!! brilliant sir !! :D
Thank you! That put a smile on my face. Kind Regards Karl
Dang, definitely you are my hero. Nice job, I wish I had a quarter of your talent. Cheers!
Hello and thank you, I think I just blushed! Much appreciated! Kind Regards Karl
Fantastic work
Thanks Shawn!
I love these videos! It's always a pleasure to watch these, they get the gears in my brain turning! Keep up the fantastic work.
Great to hear! This is why i like watching other sim builders and seeing what they come up with. Kind Regards Karl
Another awesome build Karl! This will probably be the next addition to my sim. Thanks for all you do!
Hello Chris! Great to hear from you, its been a while and i hope this finds you well! I have just finished printing the yokes and i think they look awesome and finally happy to share them! Keep safe, Karl
21:15 is how you can have a Embraer yoke.
Hello from Brunei! Not just yet! i need to get my sim up and running!
@@helimech8152 I think what he means is the inverted yoke is kinda embraer yoke. btw nice skills. Thanks for sharing
Es un mecanismo magnífico, me has inspirado muchísimo
You are definitely a master. Thanks for showing us the process. Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Karl realy amazing work cant wait the next video
Keep going mate u do a realy goid job
Thank you and humbled, but work is really getting in the way. I finished work last night at midnight, then edited the video and posted it before heading to work once again. Kind Regards Karl
Really nice job Karl! I'm amazed at your engineering skills! 👌🏾
Thank You and Humbled. Kind Regards Karl
I finally got a house where I have space to build a real sim, and the better half is on board with the plan. Gonna be buying some plans soon once we get settled in and I have some time to work on it!
Awesome, its certainly a hobby that keeps you busy! Send me a photo or two as you build. Kind Regards Karl
Just discovered your TH-cam and I have been binge watching. Love your work, great presentation. Your designs could give the consumer peripherals a run for their money. If you could cast these in aluminium and use hall sensors this would be pro equipment.
Hello Ian, welcome aboard. Hall sensors are being used, but no chance of aluminium. Not unless I can buy a lathe and aluminium. But I'm not holding out much hope for that here in my budget. Merry Christmas Karl
I've been wanting to build an FFB yoke for a while now, but haven't found a printable yoke handle that was good enough. I'm really looking forward to you releasing this, even if I'm not going to build a full dual control column setup.
Hello, there will be a single version too, but not for a little while yet! Just need to get the dual system working! Kind Regards Karl
Lmao @17:45 space engineers
My son Josh loves that game!
Hi Karl, saw your car license plate and realised you are in Brunei.
Hello and yes we are based in Brunei in KB. Once covid allows come o Rouns for a flight!
get Capricorn tubes for the ender 3 with the coupling set. you won't have a problem with that again
Hi Phillip! I actually have done that by pure chance. I ordered from 3 different countries and after 3 months they all arrived on Friday. Now fitted to the Ender 3 Pro! Thank you for the advice, it was spot on! Kind Regards Karl
Whoever put a thumbs down on this sucks ass balls. I'm building my own F18 sim from scratch, and I share your pain my friend. Keep up the awesome work, I need it for reference haha.
Thank You and great to hear from you! Kind regards Karl
I have an A8. most reliable printer iv owned, and the cheapest!
Hello Rob, This made me smile! I cant believe how hard it has worked and it continues relentlessly! Karl
Hi Carl great work. I just wanted to ask you, where you get your PVC pipes from with those diameters of 82mm OD and 78mm ID. Love your videos and keep up the awesome work you're putting into these projects.
Hi, I got my pipe from a metal merchants back yard. It was just laying there. I now know that if your in the states, this is like rocking horse poo to find! Sorry. Kind regards Karl
Karl did you ever do a video of putting the rudder pedals together?
Karl, looks great, where can I get a set 3D print plans for the tiller mechanism parts (please)?
Hello Mark, There on my website: www.737DIYSIM.com. Hope that helps. Kind Regards Karl
Hello sir. Thank you for really good video. Could I ask what spec of gear do you use. I see a lot type in Fusion 360. Thank you.
These gears i created in fusion. However, since this video people have stated that fusion has a helical gear creator. I tested for a few samples and it appears to work fantastic! If you mean however what metal gears did I get hold of: They are 16mm bore, 1.5 Modulus, 30mm OD. I hope that helps.
18:08 🤣🤣😊😊👍👍👍👍❤❤ try and fail tas how we lern
Yes, this how i get through so many revisions with the help of others who build and find errors along the way. Kind Regards Karl
The ender 3 PTFE system isn't that great. There are some 3rd party tubes and couplings. Luckily my printer got a good batch from the factory.
No I don't think it is, there have been a couple of other people mentioned they too are having the same problems or similar. Still it prints great and is an easy fix once i got he parts. Kind regards Karl
Hello! decided to print the single colum, but where i finde the adapters for the pvc pipe, and the dimensions of the metal structural scuare pipe?
Hello Maco, all the details are on the webiste at:
www.737diysim.com/build-guides
Kind Regards
Karl
@@helimech8152great right now printing the gears / "sandwitch" assy!!! you are the best! planning to create a single yoke for my sim!
would it feel sturdy enough if we make the entire column with PVC pipe and PLA control wheel ?
Hi and no, i dont think so. I tried that first!
@@helimech8152 this material topic is what keeps me from going ahead and building my yoke. I really loved your 3D model and was about to purchase. But then i remembered what to use for the column. PLA yoke + aluminum pipe would be weird and probably not work well. On the other hand, a full metal manufacturing will require CNC... really lost in these ideas
Hello Karl. I'm building my own cockpit and I'd like to buy the plans from your website. How would that work? Do I get to download all your plans and 3D printable objects once I pay for them, or do I have to use your website every time I want to 3D print something, like the throttle quadrant or get a script?
Hi Alex, If purchase everything, you get the plans, guides and designs. All by digital PDF download and fusion 360 links which can be used in different CAD programmes. I hope that helps! Karl
@@helimech8152 Hi Karl. Thanks for the reply. I'm mainly interested in the 3D plans, although I don't have a lot of experience with CAD programs or Fusion 360. Is it possible to convert those 360 fusion links to g-code or stl files to use with my printer?
