- This all started when someone asked if I could create a 3D Printed 757 throttle after showing my 737 Throttle Build. I wasn't to keen at first, but I needed a break from the 737 throttles. In the background, this is what I came up with.
A massive Thank You to Sebi Woelke for the Intro and Logo!

Hey man, my girlfriend and I are so amazed. Your video is just absolutely great. We are pilots in Brazil and you are giving a big contribution to the community of pilots in the world..
Ooooh, one more thing... It is so nice to see you having a great time building it!
Just thank you so much!
I have you in my DIY Hall of Fame. Permanent Member. The displayed attitude, willingness to share your knowledge and building will.
Not sure if you ever sold these parts as non-finished or completely finished parts.
You sir are the king of DIY.
A gifted man indeed.
Hello from Brunei! Thank You for the kind words. Feeling Humbled. Karl
When I saw all these printed parts I thought a 24 minutes video can't communicate the time it takes to design and print all these. Well done and a great work for a "side project".
Thanks Mickey! Now i need to stop procrastinating and move forward with the dual controls! I look forward to watching your video later! Kind Regards Karl
Amazing!! More B757/B767 parts !! Please
Hello! I'm not sure how I got onto this, but more 767 parts are a popular request! Ill see what I can do!
@@helimech8152 great 👍
wow. one of the best channel on youtube
Haha thank you, but it's a very
Niche subject!
This, as always, great looking build. Didn't even finish the 737 throttle yet, but this makes me build the 767/757 too :D
Hi Danno! Great to hear from you and thank you for the support! Kind regards Karl
It's always made me wonder why more people don't make things for the other Boeing aircraft. Awesome job!
Hello, i really want to get the 737 complete, then move on to other aircraft that others need help. That the plan! Kind Regards Karl
@@helimech8152 Thanks Karl. I'll be watching avidly for anything 767 related.
That is an absolute work of art my friend. Very, very well done.
Thank you so much 😀
That looks very professionally designed and built. I bought the files and just started the printing of the parts. Some STL models are positioned are oddly angles though. I had to disable the angle snap and rotate them carefully to a symmetrical position
Use flatten to face in your slicer software, that a much easier and quicker way to orientate hem. They come in from fusion in the orientation they are placed in the design.
Amazing, and so much fun to watch. Your natural joy in the whole process makes it all the better.
Hi Rick, thank you for the kind words and support! It was a fun build and didn't require to much finessing. Kind regards Karl
His work is impeccable and of high quality. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Manuel, Thank you and humbled! Kind Regards Karl
It is so nice to see a community of people with the same interest coming together! That is what brings me joy! Loads of other sim builders here in the comments! Hopefully within the next few years ill be building my A10c, after of course im done with flight mech school abd have a nice job. Very good job on the controls as always
Thanks Hydrolisk1972, this one really seems to have got people to comment! Kind Regards Karl
You are a Genius
Thank You! I will will have to update this one day to an even better version!
I'm impressed with your design and engineering skills and knowledge. Keep the good work!
Thank you very much!
On how many videos do I need to request a king air throttle quadrant in the comments 😂. Amazing work as always. You’re an inspiration. Incredible!!
Once I finally finish my sim, I put it out there and ask what people want!
Outstanding!
Thank you kindly!
Outstanding work as always, Karl. A pleasure to watch.
Thanks for the Support! Kind regards Karl
Incredible. You're a really good designer.
Thank you!
You are a builder god ! Amazing job !! Make Airbus parts ! :D
Thank you ofr the kind words! I like to stay away from Airbus to give others a chance to strut there stuff!
Love your videos, so inspirational! You give out such a positive vibe with all the smiles ... truck on!
Thank you for the great comment and support! Much appreciated, Kind Regards Karl
I said it before and I ll keep typing it on all of your work
Fan ---- Freking --- tastic work
absolutely brilliant
cheers
Thanks! That put a smile on my face!
Wow! Amazing detail! Congratulations.
Thank you so much 😀
I like your Multicam setup! Great tutorial as always! I especially enjoyed watching this one.
Thank You, Captain Bob. I now use my old phone as a spare camera rather than sell it on. Its a bit more work in editing, but I think it makes for better visuals.
@@helimech8152 It would be more work with editing, but I think it's very good for visuals. It sure beats waving your camera around whenever you want to change angles!
Wow so so amazing
Thank you!
I didn't know Jean Claude Van Damme is into flight sims! Jokes aside, awesome work!
Haha! Thank you! Kind Regards Karl
Just Amazing Karl Thanks a Lot
Hi, this was a fun project away from the 737 and a little break for me. Kind Regards Karl
Heeeyyy I've been needing this!! I just took my type rating checkride yesterday and been considering building a quick and dirty sim while I wait to start OE. I've enjoyed your 737 MCP vid, that was the first one TH-cam suggested. I didn't actually search for it - YT algorithm is pretty cool sometimes!
Thank you, and a lot of people have built this unit now, and I have seen some great mods for it too. Mainly the trim indicator addition. Kind Regards and good luck if you for the build. Karl
Master of Creator DIY SIM .. 👍👍
Thank You and once more Humbled. Kind Regards Karl
y
you're an absolute madman. Such a brilliant job. Marvelous. Next 777 ?
(NB: how strong are 3d printed parts, whether it's a yoke or a throttle quadrant, is it easy to break or is it rather strong ?)
Hi, I'm actually surprised with the strength of printed parts sometimes, but they are very weak at certain joints when you use low infill settings. I'm sure after a few weeks of feedback, that will be the real test! Always learning!
Because of you I'm inspired to start working on Concorde sim. Still years of work though, and I need to save for CNC and 3D printer
Hi Muhammad, that's fantastic to hear! Take slowly and at your pace. Both the CNC and 3d printer are amazing tools for any creative hobby!
Simply the best! Amazing work as I already mentioned before on Instagram.
Please do Airbus things tooo!
A throttle quadrante Airbus a320, please!
Hi Antonio, I tend to stay away from airbus as there are already so many builds out there. I also know nothing about the operation. One day perhaps! Kind Regards Karl
@@helimech8152 where are so many builds acessible to the community via 3D printing like yours? Nowhere!
Not a single one, or maybe I didn’t find anything, and your quality?? No way Karl, you are simply the best, and iam only supporting, I don’t fly a 737 sim, but a 320sim, but I know the difficulty and leak of information to build a budget a320 sim, 737 is more easy to find info and now quality 3d printing budget from you, that is a great feat for community 🙏👌
Fantastic as always Karl. Thank you so much for your continuing enthusiasm and guidance.
Hi John, thank you for the kind words and support! Kind regards karl
A better way instead of sanding the paint off is to gently wipe it off by sliding the text across a surface that picks the paint up better than the plastic, different paints wipe on different things better.
Tahnk you!
Amazing, Karl!
Thank You Artur!
NO ONE keeps a workbench that clean.
LOL! If you could see off camera, or at the end of the day, its a whole different story! Add in prototyping when there's no camera and it looks like a bomb has gone off.
incredible
Thank You!
First this is keeping me entertained
Awesome!
Great video!
Thank you Joselio, great to hear from you.
your work is just amazing! thankyou for sharing it, hugs from Brazil!
Thank you so much 😀 & Kind Regards Karl
Love your vids. Hoping you clone yourself to show us how to build an Airbus A320 cockpit! ;)
Hi Bill and thank you. That seems to be a highly requested item right now! Kind regards Karl
Brilliant
Thank you
Brilliant as usual. Well done
Many thanks!
Well Karl what can I say ,..........brilliant build once again ,.......now does this mean I have to build a 757 or 767 now ,let me ask the mrs . I think I know the answer will be !
Hi mck, this was just for fun really, but I did enjoy making it!
Wonderfull work! Greeeeeeeat!
Thank you! and cheers for the support!
Great, no not great Fantastic videos. I don't plan on building a sim but love to watch your videos. Fancy becoming my new best friend?
Love the work you do. Ever thought of showing us how you design these things.
Fab work from the UK
Hello From Brunei, That comment made me chuckle! Designing from scratch can be quite a boring thing to watch, so never really thought of it. But a few people have asked the same thing. Perhaps i can find something small to replicate! Thank you for the kind words, warm regards Karl
@@helimech8152 I just love the stuff you do. I have a loud 3d printer and fusion. Don't use both as much as I should. I used it when both were at work but now they are t home and I can hear the printer all around my house 😭😀
Just googled where you are. Wow so far away.
Great work Karl and you are always smiling no wonder doing that sim 👍🏻
Karl, I stumbled over your channel fairly recently and I love how it combines some of my biggest hobbies and interests, aviation and diy projects. I’m basically binging through all your videos now. I must say, watching your channel leaves a lot of interesting questions, like how did you end up in Brunei, what do you do for a living, etc. I understand if you want to leave your private life out of this, but some kind of Q&A video would have been really interesting 😊.
Keep up your great work!
Edit: just noticed you have quite some info about your background on the website. Just what I was looking for 😄👍🏻
Hello from Brunei, Great to hear from you and thank you for taking the time to comment. I did create a page on the website as I get asked a lot. Glad you found it. Keep safe and warm regards Karl
Amazing work as always ! :)
Hi Captain K, thank you! Even though I don't tend to use this, it should look good on the shelf in the sim room.
@@helimech8152 yeah i'm building a 737 myself but i am sure many people will appreaciate it
Amazing stuff, thank you for the video and the walk through on the assembly :)
Hi ML, Thank You, I was really pleased with this build and have seen some gorgeous builds since.
Great job, thanks for jour job 👍 Super boulot, merci pour votre travail.
Merci beaucoup
Such a great job! I finished my 737 throttles and working on the MCP. Thanks for showing us what’s possible! 777 in any future plans?
Hi Dan, Thank you. As for the 777, not just yet. I want to get these dual controls finished first so I can use my own sim. But I would like to complete the throttle set! So hopefully sometime in the future!
I want that
AMAZING!...747 maybe?..... xD
Hello! Someone has promised to send me 747 drawings. If that happens, I will create them. Kind Regards Karl
@@helimech8152 NICE!!!!!!!!
Amazing...This is what I am looking for? I am designing a Boeing 787 home cockpit. 767 throttle quadrant is similar to 787 series .I made a fusion design with full movement. But I am not able to complete this without any specifications or refference. I searched everywhere to get some idea about the dimensions. This video will get some new ideas. Can you upload the dimensions in your website. Waiting for ur reply
Hi, this was a specific single request by a fellow simmer. I wouldn't take my dimensions to heart, I think I winged the whole thing!
@@helimech8152 Thanks for the comment. Can you make a new project. Project 787-10. :) I think this is more simple than a 737. If you start, please inform me. Any way I am with you. You have a great patience and will power. Thank you
Absolutely epic, your parts looks great. Did you iron them?
Hi Scott! Yes, I have only just started though! I liked the look in the handles. Merry Christmas Karl
Hello ! Very nice job you are the best !
I need advice. I’m working on A320 throttle quadrant.
What kind of electric wire did you use ?
With 2 potentiometer and 2 push button (and maybe motorized trim wheel), which electronic card do you think is adapted/easiest to program ? Arduino (which one?) ? Or other one ?
Thanks for your help :-)
you are perfect!
Hi KarlHienz, thank you
Do you sell your designs? They are awesome.
Hello Fernando, Great to hear from you. The designs are over at my website:
www.737DIYSIM.com
Kind Regards Karl
AM building one. Have a real 767 center console Also CAD files for the entire cockpit OHP , Center console, frontbpanel, brakes, you name it. Am a physician with background in electronics 70’s & 80’s. Getting acquainted with Arduino. Ler me know how you want me to send you the CAD files.
Hello, and thank you for the wonderful offer! You can find our details on: www.737DIYSIM.com
We are currently moving to the otherside of the world right now, so things are a little slow as all our equipment is in a container. Kidn Regards Karl
I am literally looking forward to that next episode, because searching white sheep in the herd of white sheep has to be a great adventure. Are grey wires the only ones locally available? :-)
I like both your throttle quadrant designs but I fly World War 2 sims, where are dual engine planes, but they require propeller and mixture settings as well, so more levers are required. And I think about use of the bearings and maybe hall sensors. Thus I wonder how difficult it is going to be to modify your design to fit such a plane
Hi Mungo, All wire is available here, its just the quality is so poor is fails very quickly. The wiring you see in my vids now is recycled aircraft wire which is awesome stuff to work with. I would highly recommend starting a fresh design than modifying mine. Its just easier to start from scratch and purpose build it. This is the major let down of the 737 v3 throttle. It was modified from the Saitek unit. It would have been much easier, simpler to start over! Kind regards Karl
@@helimech8152 Thanks for the answer - quite interesting, those wires.
I have to plan that design - it is quite difficult to think out controller that fits several planes. Which - despite being similar in some way - differ in way their flight controls works.
Anyway, quite a lot of inspirational ideas. Do you know roughly total print times of such a project?
Really great to watch your builds. What 3D printer would you recommend? As an ex military helicopter engineer I can relate to your enthusiasm and precision and could be tempted to start a 737 build based on your design.
Hi Steve, I would highly recommend the Ender 3 v2 or pro if you want slightly cheaper. Great to hear from a fellow vet especially in the same trade! I hope this finds you well. Kind Regards Karl
Very cool. I have to build this. Do you have a plan for a motorized trim wheel for this version. That’s the one thing I would like to see on a build.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You are one of the few that really explains what and how to build items like this so that others can build them.
Hi, i am building a motorised version of the 737 in the background. But all my attention is on the dual control yokes at the moment. I will return to this project hopefully in the new year. Thank you for the kind words, Karl
@@helimech8152 fantastic work by the way. I am building or should I say trying to build a motorized A320 Quadrant. Being fairly new to electronics and Fusion 360 it is a challenge.
Did you add a backing for he speed brake handle?
Hello, I thinkni used hot glue, but people are now suggesting cut up mouse mat
when havening air presurized on cabine ...? this air have something influence above someone system ??this air is very pressure could be failed someone system( because one bad presure on cabine )
Hi Karl
Thank you again for your beautiful work.
Do you have the entire project for 757 cockpit? If you don’t, do you intent to do it?
Hi, I have no intention of anything but 737 at the mo. I want to get the controls done so I can go flying in my own sim. But I do enjoy the build process.
wouldn't it be better to get wires that are already color coded, and fully color coded, than try to rely on sharpie marks at the ends?
I have over 100KGs of recycled aircraft wire, which is by far superior to anything from eBay. This is why i now use it and because its Free lol.
Karl, could you specify, which marker you use to highlight legends? Thanks
Hi Artur, i use a Sharpie, Black or a white paint pen depending on the colour required. Legends now, i would use my resin printer, but this is a bit of a speciality purchase i wouldn't recommend one just for this. Kind Regards Karl
I used to use lacing twine all the time. Haven't seen it in years. Where do you get yours?
I get all mine from RS online, buts its expensive! There are much cheaper brace making wax cord on amazon!
Wow, a lot of people request for throthle ?
Hi Deni, all one of them I think! Just wanted to try something different!
Where's the wiring video for the controller board that was promised?
Hello George, Awesome people skills there buddy! It's coming, One man and a million things to do. However, the wiring diagrams are on the website, they are the same as the 737 throttles. Both Leo Bodnar and Micro connections. Kind Regards Karl
great job.... How about B777 ?
LOL! People are going to get bored of me building just throttles! But if you have any dimensions or drawings, I will give it a go! Kind Regards Karl
@@helimech8152 I have some, I'll send you an email. Regards. Stefano
@@helimech8152 I've sent you an email with some measurements. I would be really grateful if you could do it, otherwise if you think I can modify the 767TRH, I can try if you give me indications on which software to use.. thanks Stefano
Now is just to figure out how to motorize all this
Hi alex, not for me on this one. I'll stick with motirising the 737. But hopefully the same can be used for this design.
I’m thinking of doing something like this but have a question. How do you make it so that when the potentiometer is only 90°, it is full in code/digitally?
Hi Mizzter, not to sure what you mean, but i just calibrate the pot in what ever programme you are using.
Is there any way that you could assist in constructing CJ4 THROTTLE BODY
Hello Marvin, I currently do not have time right now, as we are getting ready to move. Kind regards Karl
This doesn't look like it is 1:1 scale to the real one. The real one is bigger.
You are correct, this is designed to fit on my Ender 3 printer bed.
What gauge wire is he using guys?
I was lucky a few years ago that we modified our fleet of helicopters. This meant I had hundreds of meters of discarded, reusable aircraft wire. This wire is by far superior to anything have found from china on eBay. The part number is: 55A0811-22-9
It's 22 AWG, but 24 AWG will also work the Arduino 5V items and the part number is: 55A0811-24-9
Mouser and TE stock this for around $0.25 to $0.53 a meter
@@helimech8152 I love that white wire, looks nice and seems to be the right amount of flex. Thank you for the information on that i really appreciate it! Glad I found this channel.
Didnt even notice it was stranded, I thought it was solid core.
Hi there, did anyone manage to get the LED toggle switches to work as intended with mobiflight?
Hi Danno, You may need to ask this in the website forum and describe how they should work. Then I can probably help you out or try to find a solution. Kind regards Karl
Did you get my message.
Thank you, i just replied!
Hi, where can i meet you to custom mine in Brunei?
Hi Shair, Well if your in Brunei that's a different matter! Pop down to KB and say hello! My watsapp is 006737207616. Kind Regards Karl
Hey i know u do boeing sim but please
Do u know anyone who made their own airbus sidestick any website or any yt videos
Thanks
There's only one guy i know who creates A320 parts and that's Jacek Dziedzic. Head of Airframe Labs. You could try him.
You print everything with Ender 3 pro ?
Good evening from Brunei, I now have two ender 3's. The pro and v2. But I think most of the internals were actually printed on the tronxy A8 as the ender 3 broke and was out of order for weeks.
@@helimech8152 i was going back and forth between Ender 3 and CR-10. Im looking for a larger print space. Which one you think would be ideal ?
How many of these have you built?
Wish I had enough money to build one for myself keep it up!
Hi Riley, this is the first 757 one, in fact it's the build prototype. But I have now created 4 different Boeing versions of throttle in total. Well done on being the first to comment!
I'm guessing you don't have a 3d printer? Getting them printed by a third party is expensive! But when you self build the costs are manageable.
@@helimech8152 Thanks I will start saving!
Good luck!
Works with FF 767/757?
Hello, It's just a joystick replica in the 757/767 throttle shape.
Can i buy one i dont have 3d printer
Not really, what makes these projects cheap is that people can build them their selves. I don't think I could produce it at a price people were willing to pay. And that would be build cost, not profit cost
@@helimech8152 alright thank you
How much if u sell those?
Hi Shair, I can only sell the design at the moment on the website www.737DIYSIM.com. I have no viable postal service currently due to covid restrictions.
I have bought this
